Reply #9: It isn't the transport of this waste that worries me [View All]

It is the long term storage in Yucca Mt. that's got me scared. Sitting on a major fault area, with active volcanos close at hand, Yucca Mt. is not a good place to be storing material that is going to be highly dangerous and toxic for thousands of years. In addition, when(not if, when) that radioactive waste escapes its containers, the EPA has already shown with dye tests that it would only have a two week journey before it's in the ground water of Las Vegas, and just a few more week before it's in the ground water for LA.
