Dispatches from the Front Yucca Mountain - Mobile Chermobyl? by Free Press Staff November 18, 2002 Congress and the White House may soon approve opening a dump at Yucca Mountain in Nevada where the nuclear power industry hopes to bury 77,000 tons of radioactive waste. If Yucca Mountain opens in 2010, as scheduled, all that waste must travel American highways or railroads to get there -- some 100,000 shipments over three decades through thousands of American communities. The potential for a serious accident or terrorist hijacking has oppontents to the transport plan calling it “Mobile Chernobyl.” To find out how close you (or your child’s school) are to a proposed route see: www.MapScience.org.
