Mr. Bryce: "Yucca Mountain (which is ready for use and only awaits licensing)..."?

I'll bet a lot of Reeds buddies made a huge profit off the Yucca project. His TRAIN needs to be DERAILED!!!

If we can't bury that crap inside a mountain - where can we get rid of it? We tried the ocean, but then that whole Godzilla thing came up.
Bunch of NIMBYS.... Come on Nevadans "Cowboy Up!"... Oh wait... Never mind... A bunch of panty waists from the coasts moved into cheap homes in Vegas and elected Green/Socialist Reid. Same thing is happening to a lot of formerly manly states.
I bet John Wayne is pissed...

Mr Bryce should promote relocating the Nuclear Waste Repository to New Jersey or Long island for his secure long term storage instead of Nevada, since he is so fond of nuclear power and storage of its byproducts.
Nuclear power is a good option to be developed but it going to be in your backyard, Mr Bryce. The DOE has yet to clean up the mess at Hanford, the country's first nuclear plant and storage site. With nuclear waste in your turf will make you will realize you want to make sure its done safely. Exporting garbage, especially nuclear waste, is the stuff of crime syndicates and Nevada is not a third world dumping ground.

If we can create the material used for nuclear energy, before we build another plant, we should mandate creating a method of neutralizing the material back into a safe state so it could be disposed of anywhere.

Richard of CA has the best idea I've heard for a long, long time. How to solve the nuke waste storage? Get rid of Sen. Ried. Maybe store *him* in the mountain ... maybe just vote him out of office.

Robert Bryce is beginning his article with the premise that the Yucca Mountain Waster Repository was ever a viable program. He complains that over decades of work on Yucca Mountain and $13 billion has been spent so the project should move forward. Throwing more money into Yucca Mountain would not alter the results that waste could never be stored at Yucca Mountain.
If we had spent the last 2 decades and $13B on developing a nuclear RECYCLING program as France has, we would be well on our way to dealing with nuclear waste.
