520			_a"Deep beneath the desert floor, within a long, artificially lighted chamber resembling a BART tunnel, a crowd of hardhat-clad visitors huddled over a grayish spot on the floor: a dried water stain....A reporter pointed accusingly and demanded: What caused that? The chamber which may soon become part of the Taj Mahal of dump sites--a proposed high-tech, $49 billion-plus burial site for the world's deadliest nuclear wastes managed by the U.S. Department of Energy, is supposed to be dry as a bone." (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE) The author explains the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump site proposal and questions whether groundwater can seep into the buried waste over an extended period of time and contaminate the water supply.
520			_a"Can Nevada Bury Yucca Mountain?" -- "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. ---
