Governor Jim Gibbons wrote a letter to Senator Harry Reid, D-Nev., asking him to use his influence in Congress to repeal the Nuclear Waste Policy Act that designates Yucca Mountain as a high-level nuclear dump.

“Sen. Reid should make Nevada safer by working to immediately repeal the NWPA and kill Yucca Mountain once and for all,” Gibbons said in a written statement.

He says that but in 2007, he backed a decision by the state engineer for a monthlong extension allowing the U.S. Department of Energy to use the state’s water to drill bore holes near the mountain. [Breaking News 24/7]
