Yucca Mountain Site, located approximately 90 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada, is the only site in the United States that has been extensively studied for the geological disposal of commercial spent nuclear fuel and defense high-level waste. Currently, the site consists of a single 5-mile exploratory tunnel used for site characterization activities, with no waste disposal tunnels or waste handling facilities. Important legal and regulatory decisions, such as a water permit, construction authorization license, and federal land withdrawal, have not been granted, and there is no railroad access for waste transportation. This website, maintained by Eureka County, Nevada, provides a comprehensive collection of news clippings, documents, photos, maps, and historical information related to the proposed Yucca Mountain repository project.
