Nevada views its selection as the sole candidate for the nation`s high-level nuclear waste repository as an act of political expedience to save a failing program, says the author. He claims that no substantial data exist to suggest the Yucca Mountain site is suitable for a permanent repository. Nevada`s elected officials are essentially unanimous in their opposition, and polls show a constant strong majority of citizens against a nuclear waste repository in the state. He adds that the state is committed to taking all necessary legal steps to prevent it.
