A rough projection for completion is scheduled for 2035.
Congressional leaders are calling out the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives for failing to pass a program that would compensate radioactive waste victims.
The federal Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) is scheduled to end Friday after a push to reauthorize and expand the program failed.
Speaker Mike Johnson says after consulting with U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner, Republican leadership has decided not to hold a vote on a bill that would renew the program without adding new states.
The speaker supports renewing the program where it already exists but not expanding it, according to a spokesperson.
