The GAO’s website on disposal of high-level nuclear waste lists several key issues that must be addressed that are based on risk perception, in part, including (a) social and political opposition; and (b) transportation. The public’s concerns about permitting this site are coupled with storage of high-level nuclear wastes in the geologic and hydrologic setting at Yucca Mountain. As applied to the proposed Yucca Mountain Waste Repository site in Nevada, is the public’s perception of risk valid? Should another less risky site be permitted instead? How would you change the public’s perception of risk on long-term storage of high-level nuclear wastes?
