Letter: Store nuke waste where it is made

Friday, Sept. 3, 2004 | 9:03 a.m.

This is in response to the Aug. 12 letter from Francy Johnson, who said she "couldn't care less about Yucca Mountain" and that she disagrees with the Sun's opinion that it is the most important issue facing Nevadans.

There are numerous problems in Nevada, including our lack of water. To suggest, however, that we don't care or that we shouldn't be concerned about a waste dump in our backyard is only silliness.

Contrary to her opinion, the people who work at Yucca are indeed concerned about health problems. As to where to put the waste, I would strongly suggest that it be stored where it is made.
