“Yucca Mountain probably won’t last 50 years, let alone 10,000 years.”
-Center for Health, Environment and Justice
This isn’t even unfounded speculation; it’s just wrong. Above-ground storage casks sitting out in the rain last more than 50 years; a stronger one underground in the desert definitely would last much longer.
Don’t get tripped up on the big numbers. It’s physics and geology.
