The State of Nevada has consistently opposed the Nuclear Dump at Yucca
mountain on the grounds of damage to water, soil and air. This is despite
Nevada being a dry region unlike Cumbria's wet ground and fissured rock.

Compare the State of Nevada's opposition to the Yucca Mountain dump with
our equivalent Cumbrian council leaders who have "expressed an interest" in a
nuclear dump despite repeated warnings about safety of such a dump to the
health of people and the environment.

"Nevada has been fighting the federal government on this issue for nearly 30 years and will continue all appropriate efforts to prevent this dangerously unsafe facility," Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto said.
