Re: Yucca Mountain articles

["Theodore S Bohn" <BST@inel.gov>]

Millions of $ have been spent on the studies of the containability
 of radioactive wastes over the next 10,000 years at the Yucca
 Mountain repository, however:

Has any studies ever been conducted on the leakage potential
of the many underground nuclear tests conducted in the same
 basic area?  Wouldn't these wastes also have the probability of
 polluting future underground water supplies or are they considered
 exempt?  This waste isn't even containerized.  Maybe we ought to
be digging those tests holes up and sorting those atoms.

"More Study Of Nevada Nuke Waste Site Said Needed"

"Sources with environmental groups and the nuclear industry
Thursday said they were told the DOE viability assessment would
contain no ``show stoppers'' to prevent continued scientific study of
the Nevada mountain site near Las Vegas."

``Essentially there are no 'show stoppers,' but it says there needs
to be more research and there is a lot of uncertainty,'' said a
source with an environmental group.
