Would this kill the PFS project?

The Salt Lake Tribune published this article: Panel rejects PFS nuclear storage–
U.S. Senate: A subcommittee votes to allow facilties only in states with reactors
.

A Senate panel dealt a blow to Private Fuel Storage’s plan to build temporary nuclear storage in Utah on Tuesday, voting in favor of short-term storage, but specifically prohibiting storage at the PFS facility.
The Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee included $10 million for the temporary storage facilities, but requires them to be federally run and located in states that have nuclear reactors.
The spent nuclear fuel would be kept there until a technology can be developed to extract the reusable parts of the fuel and dispose of the rest.

Since Utah has no reactors, this would significantly impact the PFS storage project on the Goshute reservation.

Of course, PFS spokespersons are stating that by doing this Congress if just prolonging the storage of waste since, according to PFS, licensing will take 8-10 years for any facility.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out and I’ll be sure to provide any updates here.
