There's absolutely no reason you can't put it into Yucca mountain other than anti-nuclear 'nimbys' (in quotes because Yucca is nobody's backyard) -- but worst of all, it's an asinine point. Yucca Mountain is directly adjacent to the Nevada Test Site where the US has detonated 928 nuclear weapons, most of them underground. [1] The Nevada Test Site is the most radiologically contaminated land on the face of the earth already. Honestly if any spent fuel leaked out it might reduce the average radioactivity at the NTS.
