Berkeley Lab's Earth Sciences Division- Yucca Mountain Project (http://esd.lbl.gov/NW/ymp.html)
Berkeley Lab is responsible for hydrological (seepage and transport) and thermal-hydrological-chemical coupled-process testing and modeling at Yucca Mountain 's Exploratory Studies Facility. This site provides information on ambient testing, heater testing, laboratory testing, and quality assurance.

Eureka County's Yucca Mountain Information Office (http://www.yuccamountain.org/)
This site informs citizens about the decisions concerning the potential transportation and storage of nuclear waste that will affect their lives. Users will find current news clippings, documents, photos, maps, and much more information on the history and current developments of the Yucca Mountain Repository Project in Nevada.

Licensing Support Network (LSN) (http://www.lsnnet.gov/)
The Licensing Support Network (LSN) contains documents relating to the Yucca Mountain licensing proceeding conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The LSN is the single place where the parties and potential parties to the licensing hearing can search and access full-text materials relating to Yucca Mountain repository licensing information.

Nuclear Waste Transportation Routes (http://www.state.nv.us/nucwaste/states/states.htm)
The State of Nevada provides links to highway and rail routes throughout the United States that are most likely to be used to transport high-level nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

OCRWM-- Yucca Mountain Project (http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/ym_repository/index.shtml)
This site provides extensive resources and updates related to the Yucca Mountain Project, including fact sheets, technical documents, budget and funding reports, and links to safety and health issues.

Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) (http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/)
A searchable site that includes a great deal of information on the Yucca Mountain Project, including technical documents and reports as well as links to related international, federal, state and local government sites, and organizations with other perspectives on the project such as Citizens Alert and the Sierra Club.
