No one wants the stuff in their back yard...

Unless you're a troglodyte or a C.H.U.D. or one of the Mole People, 2000 ft, down in volcanic tuff is nobody's "back yard". The place is on the grounds of the Nevada Test Site. They used to light off atomic bombs right on the surface in that place. That is nobody's "back yard" unless you're The Atomic Kid.

2000 ft, down in volcanic tuff is nobody's "back yard".

Then the opposition to the site was just in my imagination? No presidential candidate ever made the pledge that if elected he would make sure the site was never used? There were never any protests?
