Description
Description | Yucca Mountain was selected as the proposed site for America's deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The project has faced numerous challenges including earthquake risks, fault line discoveries, volcanic activity concerns, groundwater infiltration, seismic pumping, container safety issues, geophysical limitations, political and social opposition, transportation risks, regulatory and timeline issues. Despite over $15 billion spent on studies and development, no waste is currently stored at the facility. |
