Moving forward into licensing will allow an open public debate on the safety of Yucca Mountain. The waste is here today - let?s not pass this burden onto our children.

We are committed to opening Yucca Mountain based only on sound science. The work that we do must be without question or qualification, and this report confirms that we are on the right path forward.

We run into the statutory capacity sometime next decade.

Under today's scenario we are planning to put reprocessed waste into Yucca Mountain.

We should be able to open it next decade.

Despite the fact that the science is consistent, our quality assurance requirements were not met, which is a requirement for submitting a license application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. We find it best to just replace this work.

Yucca Mountain is a good site. It is a safer and more secure location than the temporary storage options.

By bringing in Oak Ridge for independent reviews to assess our technical work, we ensure the highest level of expertise and credibility as we move the project forward.
