EPA proposes long term radiation limits for Yucca Mountain dump
The EPA issued a plan capping exposure at 15 millirems per year for 10 000 years and up to 350 millirems for up to 1 million years near Yucca Mountain Nevada to bury 77 000 tons of radioactive waste. Critics call the rule lax noting higher than NRC caps and link to natural background radiation.
