Balancing Yucca Mountain at the "Nu-kuh-ler" Reglatory Commission
President Bush used a loophole to fill two vacancies on the five-member Nuclear Regulatory Commission without having to get Senate approval. The new members are Peter Lyons, a science adviser to Sen Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Gregory Jaczko, a nuclear issues advisor to Sen Harry Reid (D-NV). Sen Reid is a major opponent to a proposed nuclear waste site at Yucca Mountain in his home state -- Sen Domenici is a major supporter of the site. (MSNBC)
