the history of radioactive waste management... has always been a mixture of politics and science.
a decision was made basically to make the choice prior to the scientific work being completed.
The decision to close Yucca Mountain was not driven by science, and it is a fiction to pretend that it was.
If it is opened, it should be because Nevadans are willing to take the waste, not because 49 States have forced it on them.
