Letter: Nuke rods to be worth a fortune

Monday, July 1, 2002 | 9:01 a.m.

State Sen. Joe Neal, a Democrat running for governor, seems to be the only political candidate who has the guts to tell it like it is. Neal says that the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump is inevitable and that we should be negotiating for benefits. I think that he is 100 percent right.

We could get billions of dollars for the state of Nevada. We should also claim ownership of the spent nuclear rods. Sometime in the future they are going to find a use for them and they will be worth a fortune.

Do you really believe that the government will not use this project after spending billions of dollars on it? If you believe this I would like to sell you some stock in my tapioca mine.
