But just like the WIPP project in New Mexico, the good people of Nevada didn't object to all the money being spent there building the storage facility. Now that it looks like it might actually get used, they want to back out.
The NM project was deep, way below the water table, and was to be used for low level waste mostly. The federals should have known that if NM would back out of the low level waste deal at the last minute, NV would do the same thing for high level waste.
