Hmmm Rhythm, this is the second time you have referenced Yucca. Are you enamoured by the whole idea? You should jump onto one of the nuke waste trucks as they pass by on I-70, and take a ride to Yucca Mountain for a close up view.
Everyone in the country will be sending their nuclear waste on trucks to that spot. Certainly for some reason, they built it before getting approval, and passing the regulatory tests...
Most suckers think its just for safe storage, but we all know its because theyre planning to use those spent rods for a new national energy source or futuristic weapons systems.
If it were for safety, - WHY oh WHY would they have trucks on public roads schlepping it across the entire country to one place...only to run the risk of traffic accidents, or terrorist hijackings all along the way.
We are all waiting to hear that we residents of nevada all get an annual check for compensation of the risk - somewhere in the neighborhood of $20k or in lieu of federal income tax. Thanks to the Alaskans who started that.
In the meantime, I am taking in more radiation from typing this post in front of my monitor, then any experiments out there.
