Reid Statement On Yucca Mountain

Reid Statement On Yucca Mountain

Bookmark and Share
Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement regarding the latest evaluation report of Yucca Mountain released by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
“The final volumes of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Safety Evaluation Report reiterate what we have known for years – Yucca Mountain is inherently flawed. It is flawed because the Department of Energy lacks the required land and water rights and has no reason to expect that it will obtain them in the future. Therefore the NRC staff does not recommend authorizing construction of Yucca Mountain. This project will never see the light of day and everyone should accept that and move on.”
