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.
