FILE - In this April 9, 2015, file photo, people walk into the south portal of Yucca Mountain during a congressional tour of the proposed radioactive waste dump near Mercury, Nev., 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Elected officials in rural Nye County say they support moving forward with a long-studied but mothballed national nuclear waste repository in Nevada, unlike their counterparts in approximately 90 miles away in Las Vegas. But the Las Vegas Sun reports those who live near the Yucca Mountain site are split on whether storing approximately 70,000 tons of nuclear waste there is a good idea. (AP Photo/John Locher, File)
