So says a professional politician who owes his living to gathering a majority of the votes of his constituents, by whatever means possible as long as he doesn't get caught with his pants down (and even then, based on previous experience, he may be okay, if he has a "D" after his name).
OTOH, we have the process of scientific inquiry, which is beholden to no one other than Mother Nature, which has produced study after study indicating the site is safe and suitable for the intended purpose.
Which is more objective, more likely to honor the truth? I'll go with the science.
I've done work there, once on site, that waste won't go anywhere.
Apparently you have not been following this process. Congress decided a dozen years ago that Yucca Mounain would be the only site considered. Then it ordered the Energy Dept. to prepare studies justifying that decision. And in fact so many studies indicated that Yucca is not a geologically stable as they had hoped that they had to design a storage container that would keep the fuel safe regardless of geological conditions. Which means, as some posters have pointed out, that the waste could be stored anywhere.
