Yucca Mountain science and engineering report : technical information supporting site recommendation consideration ; executive summary

Spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive wastes are the result of commercial power generation, nuclear weapons production, and other research and development activities. They have accumulated since the mid-1940s at sites now managed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and since 1957 at commercial reactors and storage facilities across the country. The responsible management and disposal of these materials is a critical part of the DOE mission to dispose of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel from federal facilities, including the nuclear weapons program, as well as commercially generated spent nuclear fuel.
