They also raise questions about whether the agency's independence and scientific integrity have been compromised to advance a political agenda.

Full article is worth a read.

It's a long story. Once we take over the government in just a year and a half we have to resurrect Yucca ~ or, alternatively, just start hauling the nuclear waste (mostly water actually) out there and pouring it in the desert in Nevada.

It's a big place. They'll never notice ~ but it's a warning to the people of that state to NOT ever vote for Harry Reid or people like him again.

Obama is a completely destructive force. And so many people just don't see it.

He's not dumb. He's not failing to achieve his noble goals. He's having spectacular success in everything he has tried to achieve. There is a power behind him, and we are all under the harrow.

“...After fighting Jaczko for its release, congressional aides who reviewed a draft of the analysis say it showed that NRC experts determined Yucca was safe. While Jaczko had not seen the document, his decision to halt the review meant the staff’s conclusions were stripped from the report...”

A very good friend was directly involved with Yucca Mt. I won’t give out his phone or cell so yu are going to have to take it from me that the place is safe. How safe, I’d let any and all of my family camp out in there.

In an email dated Oct. 18, 2010, and marked "not for public disclosure", Daniel Graser, a data administrator for the board reviewing the Yucca application asked a board member and chief counsel for clarification on what he could do if he perceived that an action was illegal. "If we believe that a senior official is violating a federal law, what obligation do we have to report that, and, who do we report it to?" he asked.

If a Republican was President, you would call 60 Minutes or the New York Times.

So was last week’s WSJ story on this guy.

I wrote the definitive history of Yucca Mountain. It is in a rewrite and this has to go into it. Out in another month or so.

Scrap the Yucca dump = GOOD!

It was a stupid idea and obsolete from conception!
1. Reverse the Jimmah Cartah policy preventing reprocessing.
2. Take the Yucca money for Thorium reactor research/construction funding.
3. “Burn” the spent fuel from the old reactors in the Thorium reactors.

Oh, no, can’t do that, it would be an actual SOLUTION, no endless revenue stream for studies and lobbying!

When commissioner William Magwood, a Democrat, confronted Jaczko about misleading him, the inspector general reported that Jaczko's reply was: "You should have asked."

If the CEO, public spokesman or the guy who answers the phone while everyone is at lunch of any publicly traded corporation they would be in DEEP trouble.
