Yucca Mountain
Yucca Mountain
is a mountain in
Nevada
, near its border with
California
, approximately northwest of
Las Vegas
. Located in the
Great Basin
, Yucca Mountain is east of the
Amargosa Desert
, south of the
Nevada Test and Training Range
and in the
Nevada National Security Site
. It is the site of the
Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository
, which is currently identified by Congressional law as the nation's spent nuclear waste storage facility. However, while licensure of the site through the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
is ongoing, political maneuvering led to the site being de-funded in 2010.
