BOISE -- Idaho nuclear watchdogs say they're concerned the federal government may want to store bomb-grade uranium from weapons labs in other states at the Idaho National Laboratory.
Jeremy Maxand of the Snake River Alliance says the complex near Idaho Falls should not become a repository for enriched uranium and plutonium that could be used to create nuclear bombs.
Leaders of the National Nuclear Security Administration say they're interested in using two highly secure concrete buildings at INL for storing the material.
But they won't make any decision until hearing from an advisory committee to Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman. The committee is expected to release its recommendation next month. "
