"The internship that I took in May at the Northern States Power Company more or less just reinforced my belief in the technology for the safe containment of spent fuel.

"And it also showed me other aspects of what a nuclear power company goes through. And it enlightened me to find out how the spent fuel was being actually produced and what they used it for.

"For a long time the tribe has been pretty much distressed over revenues that they don't have, lack of infrastructure of the tribal government. And we were looking for economic benefits or development for the tribe out there that would provide revenue for us.

"And we feel, we really believe that this is one economic project that would benefit us greatly. It will allow our tribal government to provide social programs for our tribal members, housing needs, health needs. The fact is that these things are not provided to the Skull Valley Band through the federal agency, the BIA, the state of Utah, or any other government. And it looks like we're going to have to provide these things on our own."
