In
a few recent years the DOE has had discussions with other agencies
concerning possible alternative uses of the Yucca Mountain facility. The
designated “use” of Yucca Mountain remains Congressional Law and
we believe that it is important that we “learn” how and why such
alternative discussions have been initiated. Any other use of Yucca
Mountain could be harmful to the “dormant condition” of the Yucca
facility which would be counter-productive to its legal nuclear waste
storage designation.
In
regards to the administrations “transparency in Government” we are
seeking Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) federal documents related to
Yucca Mountain alternative discussions. If this is a politically
motivated alternative obstruction for its “use”, in respect to our
educational mission, USNEF needs to identify this agency dialogue for
public education of our citizens.
