Yucca Mountain Oversight Costs



Below is Nevada latest request for taxpayer funds to support their anti-Yucca Mountain programs.  Note in the below link the following by Mr. Loux:



"Loux said the state needs at least $5 million to maintain current studies and might need $10 million or more during the three or four years the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is expected to spend evaluating an Energy Department license to operate the repository."



I wonder how big the room would need to be to hold all the oversight groups (official and pseudo-official) for Yucca Mountain activities.  Since the NRC is licensing Yucca, it is the official oversight agency, I believe!  I also wonder what the licensing tab is from the NRC?



I would like to see what the disbursement of funds list looks like for the funds supplied to Nevada, to date.
