Re: Independent Yucca Review Raises Questions

["dkosloff1" <dkosloff1@EMAIL.MSN.COM>]

It is the function of scientists to raise questions.  However near the

bottom of the story is the most important information:



Card pointed out that the NWTRB did not disagree with the DOE that a

repository at Yucca Mountain "would be safe throughout its operating and

monitoring period, hundreds of years into the future."  Card said there is

no

legitimate scientific organization that disagrees on this issue.
