Nuclear Waste

Every step in the nuclear fuel cycle has affected Utah. And when it comes to nuclear waste, we have experienced a legacy of being targeted for nuclear waste dumps of past, current, and future wastes streams. Whether it was the now defeated Private Fuel Storage facility, the EnergySolutions (formerly Envirocare) Low-Level nuclear waste dump, or even the proposed Yucca Mountain project in neighboring Nevada, Utahns have had their share of the nuclear waste experience.

HEAL Utah remains dedicated to removing the nuclear waste target off of this great state.


  • Italian nuclear waste? No, Grazie!

    EnergySolutions wants to import 20,000 tons of Italian nuclear waste for ultimate disposal in Utah. If approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and O.K.'d by Gov. Huntsman, this import would set a dangerous precedent for Utah and the U.S. to become the world's nuclear waste dump. Help us call on Gov. Huntsman and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to protect the public, not EnergySolutions' bottom line. Click here to take action!
