The Yucca Mountain waste site was approved by the Senate. The House passed

it in May. Now it goes to the courts. It will probably open in 2010.



The 60-39 roll call by which the Senate voted to send spent fuel rods to

Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert. On this vote, a "yes" vote was a vote

to send the radioactive waste to Nevada and a "no" vote was a vote to

prevent. Voting "yes" were 15 Democrats and 45 Republicans. Voting "no"

were 35 Democrats, 3 Republicans and one independent. You can see what your
