Should more nuke waste be allowed at Prairie Island?

The future of nuclear waste storage at Xcel's Prairie Island nuclear power plant is under debate. The plant, near the Prairie Island Indian reservation, says it needs more space for nuclear waste. But a 1994 state law allowed Xcel to store waste in casks at the plant, but limited the number of casks. Xcel says it needs additional casks to keep the plant running.
