"We've produced a lot of materials about Yucca Mountain's potential impact to public safety, the local economy and to the environment," said Irene Navis, Clark County planning manager. "In addition, the new Web site offers fact sheets, videos, and a photo gallery. Access to the county's bi-annual comprehensive community surveys provides detailed information about this important issue. "This enhanced site makes it easy for the public to find up-to-date information about the status of Yucca Mountain, the licensing process and the project's future," she said. The site will also offer a kids' page that will feature information about energy, the environment, and the animals of Yucca Mountain. An electronic coloring book also is in development.
