This Thursday, March 6, 2014 file photo The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, the nation's only underground nuclear waste repository near Carlsbad, N.M., remains idle. Operations at the site were halted following a truck fire and a release of radiation nine days later. Operations were put on hold at the nation’s only underground nuclear waste repository in early February when a work truck caught fire. Nine days later, a container of waste that had been packed at Los Alamos National Laboratory and placed into one of the storage rooms at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad ruptured. The radiation leak contaminated more than 20 workers and forced the indefinite closure of the facility, leaving the federal government without a place to dispose of tons of Cold War-era waste from locations around the country.
