Bush to OK Yucca Mountain site for nuclear waste
President Bush plans to approve Yucca Mountain Nevada as the long term burial site for thousands of tons of commercial and government nuclear waste. Energy Secretary Abraham says studies show the waste can be contained 950 feet underground despite opposition from Nevada officials and critics. The decision could trigger protests and Congressional review under the 1987 law, with NRC approval still required.
