Caliente divided over nuclear rail plan to Yucca Mountain
Caliente mayor Kevin Phillips supports a proposed 880 million 319 mile rail spur off Union Pacific to Yucca Mountain citing jobs while opponents point to cancer fears and historic illnesses among local families. The plan includes a potential transfer station for shipping radioactive waste by truck to the repository 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas with a decision possible in coming years.
