Geography

Yucca Mountain is located in the middle of no where.  It is located in what is called the Nevada Test Site.  Next to Yucca Mountain is Death Valley, the lowest and driest place in the United States.  The annual rainfall per year is less than 8 inches.  I hope this is creating a good picture of what this place is like.  Having been out there my self, I can say that there is nothing worth missing.

There is a water table 200 feet below the mountain but the chances of waste reaching these depths is very small.
