waste don't even know the chairman of the nrc recently told scientists to stop work at the site. >> and there was a law passed in the 1980's to look at yucca mountain as whether or not it would be a suitable site for a nuclear waste repository. my point to the editorial board was, the process should run its way to completion or the application would be submitted to the experts, who would then evaluate the application and decide if the part of energy could safely build and operate the repository. whether or not it comes your, the bigger answer is what to do with a billion dollars hole in the ground. we should turn it into something for economic development here in southern nevada. make it into a nuclear research area. we have already done so much nuclear testing in that area, we should be able to use it for job creation and economic development.
