[HOE] [HoE] Yucca Mountain



Hey Gang,

Stumbled across this while checking some news groups, though I know
someone mentioned it to me before...whee!  Anyone familiar with it?
Here's a quick description...The U.S. Department of Energy is studying
Yucca Mountain, Nevada, to determine if it's a suitable place to build a
geologic repository for the nation's commercial and defense spent
nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste...and it's only about 100
miles NorthWest of Las Vegas, Nevada in Nye County in the middle of the
Nellis Air Force Range.  Gee...need I mention any names?  Sparking any
ideas for anyone?  Before you answer, here's the link for the Office of
Civilian Radioactive Waste Management's Yucca Mountain Project website
for your knowledge and edification (lots of source info, maps, photos
and stuff):

Enjoy!
