First of all, Nevada (my state) is storing the nuclear waste for everyone else (which we don't produce). Just because NV is a desert and doesn't have as much population as another state shouldn't give other states the right to make NV their trash bin.
Second of all, I don't care how secure yucca mountain is when the main problem is getting the waste to yucca mountain in the first place. It doesn't take a genius to realize "security" isn't just based on the potential for waste to leak while in yucca mountain.
