As I recall, Yucca Mountain is already being built prior to its permit being approved since digging a big hole but putting nothing in it is A-OK. If I am interpreting this correctly, this means they are now trying to get the license that would magically transform a cement lined hole in the ground into the Yucca Mountain Repository...but still not operate.
This was supposed to be up and running in 19fucking68 and it was supposed to be the first of several. As long as Harry Reid has anything to say about it, this will never go online so long as he draws political breath. I will be surprised if Yucca Mountain accepts any waste before I retire.
