Uncertainty underground : Yucca Mountain and the nation's high-level nuclear waste /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

"Despite approval by Congress and the Bush administration and over seven billion dollars already spent, the Yucca Mountain, Nevada, site for disposal of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel is not yet in operation. The reasons for the delay lie not only in citizen and activist opposition to th...
