| A Note on Homebuyer Attitudes Toward a
Nuclear Repository Author: Richard W. Hoyt, R. Keith Schwer, and William Thompson Start Page: 227 Abstract: The U.S. Government
has identified Yucca Mountain is southern Nevada (110 miles northwest of Las Vegas) as a
primary location for a high-level nuclear waste repository. This study investigates the
attitude of recent home purchasers toward the establishment of a high-level nuclear
repository and the transportation of nuclear materials through the community. The findings
indicate that homebuyers are concerned about the potential risk, but that those who are
most knowledgeable have less concern than those who are less knowledgeable. |
