Seeing the Project Through Nuke Eyes

Energy Dept. calls for threefold expansion of Yucca Mountain nuke dump 1

In a report to Congress, the U.S. Energy Department this week recommended expanding by up to three times the amount of nuclear waste to be buried at the planned Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository in Nevada. The agency also recommended delaying a decision on whether to commission another large nuke-waste dump elsewhere in the country, arguing that greatly expanding Yucca Mountain's capacity would, at least for now, alleviate the need for a second dump.

    I don't understandThe last that I heard was that there was a fault line running under Yucca Mountain.Would that not preclude,not using Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste storage site,or do we just not give a s$$t?Or are we just stupid.Ya know,when this site breaks open or leaks,most of the population of the United States is down wind from Yucca Mountain.What are ya gonna do when poisoned air flows through the eastern half of this country?
