This report is concerned with how America`s public sector is handling the challenge of implementing a technical, environmental policy, that of managing the nation`s high-level nuclear waste, as reflected in the attempt of the US Department of Energy (DOE) to site a Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility (MRS) for high-level radioactive waste in Tennessee. It has been observed that ``radioactive wastes present some of societies` most complex and vexing choices.`` There is deep and abiding disagreement about almost every aspect of radioactive waste management (RWM).
