"...when it comes to the safety of Nevada families".

I guess Kerry just wants to keep the nuclear waste scattered around the country at the nuclear power plants where the waste is created. Even though those plants aren't designed to hold the waste permently.

And it's a discrace that all this money and study and development of Yucca Mountain (many/most of the tunnels and vaults are already dug) is only PERMITTED & CERTIFIED to prevent nuclear contamination for 10,000 years.

Luckily the courts have jumped in at the last minute and are now requiring that the Government prove that it will hold for 20,000 years. (Do I hear 30,000?)
