“The same problems occuring in Fukushima would occur at Yucca Mountain if a large tsunami swept through the area.”


If a tsunami can reach all the way to the mountains of rural Nevada, a Fukushima-style incident would be the least of our problems.

Yeah the wave would have to be well over 15,000 feet high just to get over the High Sierra and the desert ranges before it could come close to Yucca Mountain.

Getting a tsunami all the way to the mountains of rural Nevada is an engineering problem that most greenies would not touch. The potential of a Fukushima-style incident would be the limit of what they can understand and focus on.
