Holtec pulls out of NM nuclear waste storage plan, ending its bid to store nuclear waste in New Mexico. Founded in NJ, now based in Florida.
Holtec International has abandoned its proposal to build a temporary nuclear waste storage facility in New Mexico, citing an 'untenable' path forward. The decision follows ongoing opposition and legal challenges, highlighting the broader impasse in the US over permanent nuclear waste disposal. The project was licensed in 2023 but faced resistance from state officials and environmental groups.
