STB Will Not Grant Nevada’s Request to Reject Nuclear Transport Application
U.S. Rail News link
7/16/2008 - By Tom Ramstack

The Surface Transportation Board this month turned down a request by Nevada to deny a U.S. Department of Energy application to build a rail line for carrying nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain, about 90 miles north of Las Vegas.

The 300-mile Caliente Line would link a nuclear waste repository under the mountain to an existing rail line near Caliente, Nev. The line also would operate through and near the towns of Tonopah, Goldfield, Beatty and Amargosa Valley.

The plan to carry high-level radioactive waste from the nation’s nuclear power plants to Yucca Mountain has been preceded by 20-years of environmental and engineering studies and protests, particularly in Nevada.

The Energy Department submitted its application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on June 3 for a license to build the rail line and nuclear waste storage facility.
