Should Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., lose his re-election bid next month, Nevada's congressional opposition to the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository would be significantly weakened, according to Bruce Breslow, executive director of the Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects. "Our entire Nevada delegation has opposed Yucca, but we had no clout until Senator Reid became majority leader," said Breslow. "Without a majority leader from Nevada, other states would have built an expressway to Yucca Mountain." Reno Gazette-Journal (Nev.)/Gannett News Service
