Dana Wagner reporting

Opponents of transporting nuclear waste across our country have a new tool to convince others that it's a bad idea.

It's a giant map and it shows where the nuclear waste is being generated and how it will possibly get to Yucca Mountain.

Nevada Senator Harry Reid and others will use the map to graphically show people in other areas of the country, that nuclear waste will be transported right through their backyard.

"Transporting 70,000 tons of the most dangerous substance known to man is hard to do," says Senator Reid.

Reid and others want to show exactly where that waste will be transported, so they unveiled their new map on the steps of Capitol Hill last week. In Kentucky, for example, there are no nuclear power plants, yet nuclear waste will probably be transported right through the state.
