Colorado’s Nuclear Waste Dilemma

Colorado’s nuclear waste dilemma is heating up: a massive concrete storage facility near Platteville, built for spent fuel from the shuttered Fort St. Vrain plant, is already full and set to expire in 2031—with no permanent solution in sight. While the Department of Energy plans to relocate the waste by 2035, new proposals for small reactors across the state, including at Buckley Space Force Base, lack any clear long-term waste disposal strategy. Critics warn we’re repeating history—using nuclear energy without solving the dangerous, decades-long problem of what to do with the waste.
