Should Yucca Mountain be used to store nuclear waste? With the imminent license renewal of the majority of US nuclear power plants and the insistence of the Bush administration to build additional plants‚ the need for long-term storage of nuclear waste is greater than ever. Current estimates have the nation’s 103 nuclear reactors producing 84‚000 metric tons of waste by 2035 (Hansen‚ 2001). With the current containers either close to or completely filled‚ the Department of Energy has chosen the

| Latent heat is a science term used to describe the amount of energy that has been absorbed or released when a substance goes through the process of changing states. | Latent Heat of Fusion - heat absorbed by a unit mass of a solid at its melting point in order to convert the solid into a liquid at the same temperature The heat absorbed as a substance changes phase from liquid to solid‚ a process called fusion or solidification. For water‚ Latent Heat of Solidification - heat liberated
