[ RadSafe ] Yucca Mountain - neptunium

[Franz Schönhofer]

RADSAFErs,
 
I met a few days ago a US scientist, who is involved with the Yucca
Mountain project. He agreed with me that Yucca Mountain is a political
question, but he also told me that the only scientific concern which has
to be still investigated is the behaviour of neptunium in the
repository, because it has turned out that it is much more soluble than
it was estimated.
 
Anybody who can comment on this?
 
Best regards,
 
Franz
