Public tours planned Saturday at Yucca
Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2001 | 8:11 a.m.
The public can tour Yucca Mountain on Saturday.
Visitors to the site of the proposed high-level nuclear waste repository, 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas, will be able to talk with scientists and engineers and view the work accomplished so far.
"One important way we can increase the quality and scope of information available to the public is to allow those citizens who wish to see the site for themselves to do so at an open house," Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said.
Reservations for buses leaving Las Vegas, Pahrump and Beatty may be made by calling (800) 225-6972. Buses will leave every 15 minutes between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
Visitors must be at least 14 years old and U.S. citizens. Visitors will be required to present photo identification.
Long sleeves, long pants and closed-toe shoes are also required.
No recording devices, cameras, binoculars or weapons are allowed on the Nevada Test Site, the gateway for the Yucca Mountain tours.
