"A House committee voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to advance a bill meant to move along the stalled Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada.
The legislation would set a time limit for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to approve the project and makes a necessary land transfer for the project.
It also allows the Department of Energy (DOE) to permit an interim nuclear waste storage site before Yucca has its licensing process completed."
