I read with great interest Nuclear Energy Institute Chief Executive Officer Marvin Fertel's article on spent fuel policy ( The Energy Daily, February 7). You will appreciate that Nevada is deeply concerned about how the country will deal with spent nuclear fuel. We don't have nuclear power plants but the Energy Department selected Nevada's Yucca Mountain for the country's repository for commercial nuclear waste, despite the site's obvious safety deficiencies. We support an independent re-examination of the waste issue because we are confident DOE's gargantuan and misdirected project cannot withstand independent scrutiny.
