Yucca Mountain Research Paper
We should store nuclear waste in the mountain because there are nobody living near Yucca Mountain,so nobody can’t be affect to the nuclear waste. There is not a lot of rainfall near Yucca mountain,so that mean that the water can’t interact with the nuclear waste. Also there was only one tremendous earthquake and that was about 50,000 years ago. Then, there is 1% that a tremendous earthquake could happen. But,that will never happen. Additionally to my decision is we could stop earthquake by to absorb contaminants.

A tradeoff the other side may think is that Yucca Mountain has earthquake every year. But, none of those were destructive earthquake, that could affect the mountain. If all those the earthquake happened. Why is the mountain is still

    When exploring coastal California there are many sites to see, especially since the coast runs a good deal of the length of North America. This large area that tourists flock to all year was once inhabited by a Native American tribe by the name of the Chumash.

    Richard A. Muller, an awardee of the MacArthur Fellowship and physics professor at UC Berkley, states in his 2008 essay “Nuclear Waste”, that Americans and the rest of the world are overly concerned with radioactive debris and the possibility of nuclear contamination.

Muller then goes on to entertain opposing viewpoints on how the waste should be disposed of. Muller then goes on to support his own claim by providing statistical data and explanations of radioactive…

Located on the main island of Hawaii, Mauna Loa pushes 12 million cubic meters of lava into Hawaii each day. It rises over 4 km above sea level. But, below the sea, it drops another 5km to the sea floor which is then indented another 8km under the weight of this giant land form. This means the total height of this volcano is a whooping 17km high from the base of the volcano to the crest. It is amid the earth's most currently active volcanos with its most recent eruption in 1984 being both extremely beautiful and destructive. It has been documented erupting 33 times between 1843 and 1984 at 5-6 year intervals and scientists currently expect an eruption…
