The Department of Energy may have shipped dangerous radioactive waste into a landfill in Nevada for several years
A statement from Sisolak said Energy Department officials told him on July 3 that the Nevada National Security Site may have received a total of nine shipments and 32 containers of "mixed low-level radioactive waste" from a facility in Tennessee from 2013 to 2018 that were supposed to be"low-level radioactive waste.
While some forms of mixed low-level waste are permitted at Nevada National Security Site, Sisolak says information provided by the Energy Department indicates the unapproved waste shipments from Tennessee violate both site's criteria and potentially federal regulations.
