I think this and "should the U.S. build more nuclear power plants has to be under "domestic policy" and "energy policy."  

Congress will be voting soon on whether to put waste in Yucca or not.

MSNBC

SEN. EDWARDS: My position is that, that what’s happened with Yucca Mountain is there’ve been serious questions, including the, the possibility of lying and fraud in the scientific evidence of—that Yucca Mountain would work. I was always concerned, still am, about this nuclear waste being transported around the country. I, I think, at this point in time, it does not make sense to do—to do Yucca Mountain. So the, the, the answer is we have nuclear plants, the, the stuff has to be stored—waste has to be stored somewhere, so it has to be stored where the plants are.

MR. RUSSERT: So in...

SEN. EDWARDS: Or in the vicinity.

MR. RUSSERT: So in Seabrook, New Hampshire, the nuclear waste has to be stored in New Hampshire.

SEN. EDWARDS: It has to be stored somewhere close by.
