Yucca Nuclear Waste
June 26, 2002
To the Editor:
Re "How Secure Is a Nuclear Waste Truck?" (Op-Ed, June 19):
Jim Hall answers his own question with the kind of scare
tactics that have clouded the debate over the proposed
national nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain in
Nevada.
In reality, we can safely move nuclear waste around the
country because that's exactly what we have been doing for
decades.
Mr. Hall not only doesn't acknowledge this safety record,
but he also does not disclose that he is a paid consultant
lobbying for the State of Nevada.
We cannot afford our current strategy of leaving nuclear
waste scattered at sites around the country. Now, more than
ever, we need a central, secure facility where we can
concentrate all of our resources on keeping our nuclear
waste safe.
