Letter: Send nuke waste to Washington

Friday, Dec. 21, 2001 | 10:05 a.m.

I read the Dec. 18 letter from Washington, D.C., resident Brian O'Connell, who is program director for the Nuclear Waste Office of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. He argues against there being any threat to the health and safety of people who live in Nevada if high-level nuclear waste is buried at Yucca Mountain.

If people like him feel so strongly that there is no danger to us here, I strongly feel that the waste should be buried in Washington, D.C., along with the waste that lives there.

Has anyone noticed that politicians and individuals who live far, far away are always happy to tell us here how safe it is to live with nuclear waste? Let them have it.
