[ RadSafe ] Yucca Mountain

[James Salsman]

Dan,

You recently suggested that it may be more important to get a
geologist's opinion on some subjects than a medical opinion.  I think
both are very important, so I am asking you:

What is the difference in the expected release of toxins and
radioisotopes from used fuel holding pools with and without the
ability to move the spent fuel to Yucca Mountain?

Thank you for your help.

James Salsman
