<br/><br/> "Nevada's quest to lose its reputation as a wasteland didn't begin auspiciously in the new millennium. In fact, it looked as if the state was politically doomed to become the home for a nuclear waste repository that would remain dangerously radioactive for many millennia." (HIGH COUNTRY NEWS) The author traces the federal government's struggle to house nuclear waste inside Yucca Mountain and the opposition expressed by scientists and environmentalists who fear contamination and seek to rid Nevada of their wasteland reputation.
