twitterCounty urged to take Yucca stand
Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2002 | 9:55 a.m.
Two Clark County advisory committees recommended that the County Commission support the state in its effort to stop a high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain without negotiating for benefits.
It was the first time the Clark County Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee and the Yucca Mountain Advisory Committee met together to discuss the proposed repository, said Irene Navis, director of the county's Nuclear Waste Division.
For the 44 people attending the meeting Monday night at the County Government Center, threats of radioactive contamination from accidents during transportation of 77,000 tons of high-level nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain dominated the discussion.
Members of the joint committees urged county officials to act in time to present local concerns to the 2003 session of the Nevada Legislature opening in February.
