It is the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository.
If you mean in the US, it is Yucca Mountain, Nevada
I believe you are thinking of Yucca Mountain in Nevada.
Yucca Mountain is a mountain that is located in Nevada, near the border of California. A volcano within the mountain has not erupted in over 80,000 years.
For now nuclear waste is stored on site where the waste was generated. In a few years US will begin to store nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain, Nevada but no official date has been set.
no
Yucca Mountain is a nuclear waste repository and, even though precautions have been taken, the materials stored there are extremely dangerous and will continue to be for thousands of years. It was defunded in 2011 and no other site has been designated for this waste. It is a case of "not in my backyard" as far as any state wanting the storage.
