This is the portion of a report completed for the U.S. Department of Energy by Dames and Moore engineering firm of Cincinnati, , that generated a huge controversy this summer. The table appears to list seven northern Wisconsin counties and three northern Minnesota counties as the first, second, and third choices are locating a permanent nuclear waste repository. A total of 36 specific areas with granite bedrock are listed in the table.

Although the Department of Energy later disavowed this section of the Dames and Moore report, the damage was done. And it didn't help matters that Minnesota and Wisconsin officials learned of the report through second- hand sources.
