Forging a consensus for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste has been long and difficult. As the process has dragged on, the search for a viable interim storage solution has intensified. This article is a case study of the politics associated with the interim storage of radioactive waste in the United States. Since the search for a government sponsored interim radioactive waste storage solution also has been slow, politicised and fraught with conflict, two privately funded projects (Skull Valley – Utah and Owl Creek – Wyoming), have attempted to bypass the logjam. While the fate of these interim radioactive waste storage projects is still unclear, energy and national security realities dictate that the continued deferment of the nuclear waste storage issue is no longer a viable option
