Nuclear Waste and Utah
Abstract
Beginning in 1980, the Department of Energy (DOE) proactively searched for potential nuclear waste repository sites. The DOE focused on using public propaganda to drum up local support for the nuclear industry in Utah, while the opposition tried to use national media sources and political action to hamper the DOE's progress. Ultimately, the DOE's strategy backfired and proved ineffective in securing repository sites in UT.
