Letter: Nuclear waste won’t reach us

I'll bet there are terrorist groups licking their chops. Remember the terrorist that drove the explosives-laden truck into the Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 Marines. They'll drive one of these same weapons, coming of course from the opposite direction, directly into the radioactive-laden trucks. Catastrophic.

These bureaucrats think, of course, out here at Yucca it is safer. This plan should be scrapped. This plan is pure suicide. This monstrosity of an accident could wipe out three states or more, perhaps.

One of them won't be Nevada; they'll never get this far with it. This will be the biggest blunder of the year 2000, which will be a short year for millions of victims.
