What does the nuclear waste policy act of 1982 accomplish?
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 set a timetable for both temporary and permanent storage of nuclear waste in the United States by the mid 1990s. There is no permanent storage facility, and there are no temporary storage facilities, so one might be tempted to say the act did not accomplish anything at all. Nevertheless, it did enable the nuclear industry to create waste without having a place or procedure to deal with it.

Yes, the Constitution allows Congress to regulate the transportation of nuclear waste across state lines under its authority to regulate interstate commerce.

The government and companies will pay states and cities money for using their land for storage of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can be dangerous, but when stored safely it is no danger. Nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which produce large amounts of cheap electricity.
