Bloomberg reports that the Obama administration plans to pound the budgetary stake through Yucca Mountain's not-quite-yet radioactive heart.

That's probably less of a worry that the idea of trucking waste across the country and sticking it in tunnels under an earthquake prone mountain an hour from Las Vegas.
