It is being constructed by Nukem Technologies, a German nuclear decommissioning company which is a subsidiary of the Russian Atomstroyexport.

Famous quotes containing the words waste and/or storage:
“The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
