Engineers moved some planned structures at the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste
dump after rock samples indicated a fault line unexpectedly ran beneath
their original location, an Energy Department official said. Allen Benson, a
spokesman for the Department of Energy in Las Vegas, said adjustments to the
project were made in June. The department responded to a published report
that cited a May 21 letter in which United States Geological Survey maps
showed the Bow Ridge fault "may be farther east than projected." The Las
Vegas Review-Journal said it obtained the documents last week. A May 21
letter and Geological Survey maps show a fault beneath where officials hope
to build concrete pads to store spent radioactive fuel canisters for cooling
before they are entombed in tunnels inside the mountain, about 90 miles
northwest of Las Vegas.
