The Road To Yucca Mountain
Traces the US government's tangled efforts to solve the technical and political problems associated with radioactive waste. From the Manhattan Project through the designation in 1987 of Yucca Mountain in Nevada as a high-level waste repository, this work investigates the approaches adopted by the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
