Yucca Mountain follies looking risky for Reid If Doc Hastings and Patty Murray are right -- and we think they are -- the shutdown going on at Yucca Mountain in Nevada is illegal. Another great success for CBC nuclear program Synergism is at work in the Tri-Cities as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the community, Hanford, contractors and Columbia Basin College create new opportunities for the future work force. Ruling on Yucca Mountain proper, but only first step It was gratifying to see reason trump politics last week -- let's hope it lasts. 8,300 vehicles at Hanford are thousands too many Hanford traffic is a hassle. We've known that for years. Hastings trying to keep Rattlesnake access open By the Herald editorial staff Injunction needed to keep Yucca Mountain an option The Obama administration has put a temporary hold on efforts to permanently abandon plans for a nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain.
