Laptop Battery America needs a safe place to store its growing stockpiles of nuclear waste. We need a place where we can be as certain as humanly possible that radiation will be locked up for more than 10,000 years. Yucca Mountain in Nevada has not passed that test.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Thinkpad Despite troubling scientific questions and uncertainties, the Bush administration and the nuclear industry are pushing hard to store 77,000 tons of highly radioactive waste at Yucca. House members give every indication of going along when they vote on the issue, perhaps this week. But the Senate, which will vote later, should say no.

Microsoft Yucca flunks a critical standard established by Congress two decades ago. A disposal site was supposed to offer a double barrier against leakage, with solid rock serving as a fail- safe if waste containers and other man-made structures deteriorated. But Yucca Mountain is filled with cracks that allow water to seep through. Though the region is arid, there is enough water moving through the mountain to cause serious concern that it could leak through and corrode the radioactive waste containers.

Laptop Computers When it became clear that Yucca didn't offer the rock- solid geologic barrier Congress had demanded, the government simply changed the standards. Now the Energy Department says titanium drip shields, exotic containers and other man-made technology can do the job pretty much on their own.
laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)
Laptop Computer Perhaps. But add in the earthquakes in the area and the serious questions about whether the Environmental Protection Agency manipulated clean water standards to help Yucca pass muster, and you end up with a project that hasn't yet proved that it can make the grade.

Desktop Computer That doesn't change because we have already spent $7 billion investigating Yucca or because we don't have any other place to ship nuclear waste. It doesn't change because supporters can make a case that hundreds of containers of deadly waste can be shipped across the country without a horrendous accident.
Notebooks Supporters argue that moving forward with Yucca now simply gets us to the next stage, where the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will do its own thorough review of whether the project should be licensed. But the NRC won't review the geology, and it won't review the suspect water standards.
Lenovo There is a question about what the NRC will get to review and when. The watchdog General Accounting Office says there are so many unanswered questions at Yucca that the Energy Department won't be able to submit a proper license application until 2005 or 2006. Yucca couldn't fully open for business until well past 2010.
Hard Drive What do we do with our nuclear waste if we don't have Yucca? Upgrade the storage we have now. Old nuclear fuel rods are kept in pools of water at nuclear generating plants. The pools are running out of space. But utilities can transfer the waste to huge concrete casks where it can remain for decades until we find a national storage site.
Travelstar Terrorism is a concern in the post-Sept. 11 world. Having Yucca or some other central storage site would not eliminate that concern. Leave aside the unsettling prospect of terrorists attacking waste during transport. The terrorists will always have a target at the nuclear plants themselves. Some waste will always be stored at the plants because spent nuclear fuel has to "cool" in the plants' pools for five years or more before it can be transported.
Gateway In fact, by 2036, when Yucca would be full, we would need another Yucca. That's without the 50 new reactors the industry would like to add to the 100-plus now operating.
Laptop Parts Most citizens -- including members of Congress -- would prefer not to think about that. It's easier to ship waste to Nevada and hope for the best. But hard thinking and further investigation are necessary.
Software The power industry desperately wants a national waste site so it can convince the public that new nuclear power plants are safe and the best way to give us cheap, reliable energy without producing the air pollution and carbon dioxide that contribute to global warming.
Hard Drives We shouldn't foreclose the nuclear option. But we shouldn't approve a waste site if we are not sure it can meet the most protective standards.
Electronics There are too many questions to approve Yucca now. Congress should vote no and order a new and expanded site search, settling the unanswered questions at Yucca and finding the other disposal sites we will need in the coming decades.
