Mountin' of Waste

Bush admin recommends expanding Yucca Mountain nuke-waste dump 1

The Bush administration is poised to recommend that Congress expand the controversial, costly, and still nonexistent Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository in Nevada instead of looking for a new dump site in the Eastern U.S. to handle additional nuke waste. Yucca Mountain's maximum waste capacity of 70,000 tons is likely to be exceeded by 2010 -- a full decade before the dump's scheduled completion.
