NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORY PROJECT OFFICE

Welcome to the Nye County Nuclear Waste Repository Project Office (NWRPO) website. The purpose of this site is to provide the public with information about Nye County's involvement with the Yucca Mountain Project (YMP) and YMP issues in general.

For more than two decades, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has conducted an extensive scientific effort to determine whether Yucca Mountain, Nevada is a suitable site for a deep geologic (underground) repository to dispose of the nation's high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF).

Nye County, Nevada is the single local jurisdiction selected by the federal government to host the repository.  The Nye County Board of Commissioners established the NWRPO as Nye County's staff agency to ensure County policies and actions regarding nuclear waste activities are conducted to protect the health, welfare, and economic well-being of its residents and environment, and to plan for and mitigate possible impacts of the repository, if it is located in Nye County.  

Be sure and visit the Yucca Mountain Information Center, which is located in Pahrump, Nevada at 2431 Postal Drive, across from the Post Office.
