Governor, Heller Join to Fight Yucca Mountain

Governor Sandoval and Senator Dean Heller are ready to do battle with the Trump administration over Yucca Mountain.  After meeting with Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Sandoval called a meeting with Robert Halstead, Executive Director of the Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects to discuss immediate actions the State should take against the potential storage of high-level nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain.  Both say storing high-level nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain is a poor choice for so many reasons, including the site location being 85 miles from downtown Las Vegas, and the proposed transportation corridors which would bring this waste directly through the the fastest growing counties in the nation.
