"Yucca Mountain" radio episode

Title

"Yucca Mountain" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository dispute between the White House and nuclear industry. A recent bill had overrode the state of Nevada's veto on hosting "the nation's first radioactive garbage dump." A key fault of the Yucca Mountain location, according to AuCoin, was the fact that the area was not large enough to hold all of the nation's nuclear waste. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature features his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in July 2002.
