  • Abstract
    It´s just a lonely ridge of volcanic rock in Nevada, but it´s generating more controversy than an indicted CEO. It´s where the US Department of Energy wants to build a permanent underground repository for high-level nuclear waste. This paper discusses the arguments for and against Yucca Mountain.
