This document presents a preliminary cost analysis and potential socio-economic impacts associated with construction, operation, and decommissioning of a high-level nuclear waste repository under Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada. Specifically, this report addresses potential changes in demographic, social services, and economic growth patterns in southern Nevada which might be attributed to the repository work force. The document contains detailed appendices with information on the existing demographic, economic and other infrastructure components of the southern Nevada region. Data in these appendices were used to complete the analysis in the body of the report. These data also could be used to conduct future socio-economic analyses of the region. 4 references, 6 figures, 21 tables.
