The other is to utilize federal monitored retrievable
storage (MRS)
facilities, in which the DOE could store nuclear
waste from commercial nuclear plants pending

permanent location for
storage, and Simmons has lobbied to allow other states to petition to have their
waste shipped off to his
facility in Texas.
