As one of the most geographically-studied sites in the world, chosen in part for its remote location, many were confident that the Yucca Mountain area was the solution to permanent nuclear waste storage.
Yucca Mountain and surrounding lands were central in the lives of the Western Shoshone and Southern Paiute peoples, who shared them for religious ceremonies, resource uses, and social events; Yucca Mountain continues to be considered sacred by the Shoshone people living today.
Numerous fractures in the bedrock of Yucca Mountain make the speed at which water percolates to the water table unpredictable. Water travels more easily through fractures than through the rock itself.
The project has encountered many difficulties and was highly contested by the public, the Western Shoshone peoples, and many politicians. The project also faces strong state and regional opposition. The Government Accountability Office stated that the closure was for political, not technical or safety reasons.

Thus the final selection of Yucca Mountain came about as a result of a process in which politics overwhelmed science. Argument: The spent nuclear fuel stored in pools at reactor sites is too vulnerable to proliferation and terrorism to leave in place, so it must be moved to Yucca Mountain.
The states objections to Yucca Mountain originate with how it got chosen in the first place. When Reagan signed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the countrys nuclear weapons program had left tons of radioactive waste, and spent fuel from nuclear power plants was also piling up.
