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.
