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.
