RE: RADSAFE digest 3135

The "trash" you refer to Norm under Yucca Mountain is not at all trash, it
is spent fuel rods, which still have an enormous amount of energy (Uranium)
left in them; and the government is not going to bury it them there.

If you took the time to read from a REPUTIBLE source what the
industry/government is trying to accomplish with Yucca Mountain, then you
would know it will serve as a centralized repository for the spent fuel.
This will be until the time in which it is deemed needed for reprocessing or
a better way is found to dispose of it on a more permanent basis.

Norm you seem like sensible individual who is open to discussion.  Maybe you
can explain this, and properly educate all the personnel involve with your
various organizations.

Thank you,
