Yucca wasn't choosen for it being idealic. Yucca was choosen because the ideal places had more political cloat.

Yucca has mines and good old mine shafts all over the place. The right one goes and you've got water where you don't want it.

That is just one of several problems with Yucca. The only "problem" that Yucca doesn't have is lots of $$ to stop the insanity.

Now, if I had my druthers, they wouldn't be able to use the blooming stuff if they can't figure out something to do with it besides leave it leaking all over the blooming place OR loosing it!

Ah yes, the brilliance once again of the DOE. Let's put the nuclear waste
dump right smack dab in the middle of a major earthquake zone. Sheesh, the
DOE's own facilities out in that region have been damaged by earthquakes.

So... where do you want to put it? Yucca Mountain is in a dry region
that will probably get even drier with global warming, the nuclear
waste will be under tons and tons of earth, and if it's possible to
retrieve it, I suppose we could move it to a safer place.

My favorite spot is a deep ocean trench that's closing. Of course,
then no one would ever be able to get it back, and we may want it some
day. At the very least, though, we ought to be doing some research.

Right now we have hundreds of targets throughout the country that
could leave huge areas of the country uninhabitable for generations.
You like that better? Of course, there's good and bad in everything: I
understand that nature minus humans is doing pretty good in the area
of Ukraine affected by the explosion. Hundreds of children would have
been spared subsequent thyroid cancers had every household been
provided with iodine tablets AND if Soviet political types had
notified affected populations. At least research is being conducted on
what's happening as time passes in the affected area.
