Please see Beyond Nuclear's Yucca Mountain website section, below, for additional background information, including: news from earlier in-person public comment hearings; sample talking points, from Beyond Nuclear and allies such as the State of Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects, the Western Shoshone Indian Nation, and other environmental/justice groups, that you can use to prepare your own public comments; and additional insights into the unnecessary, unwise Yucca dump proposal, and the Mobile Chernobyl risks it would launch on our roads, rails, and waterways, in the form of high-level radioactive waste shipments by truck, train, and barge through most states.
