Reports continue to surface that Mongolia might become a repository for nuclear waste. A report posted on the website of the New York Times yesterday says the U.S. is considering “leasing” uranium from countries (including Mongolia), then returning the spent fuel to the country of origin. Mongolia’s Nuclear Energy Authority was scheduled to discuss the controversial issue yesterday, but the meeting had to be cancelled because the head of the authority, S.Enkhbat, missed the meeting. This is the second time S. Enkhbat has failed to address the issue as scheduled. This has angered Prime Minister S. Batbold, who said Mr. Enkhbat was not fulfilling his responsibilities.
