Abstract

The history of research and development of Yucca Mountain project and the current status of this project are briefly given in this paper.Meanwhile some considerations was drawn from this project which may be useful for the future research and development of high-level radioactive waste disposal in China.It is suggested that the reasons for serious delays of Yucca Mountain project are mainly political factors rather than the natural conditions and the scientific and technological factors of the site.The contention related to this project will go on and the final solution may need the further scientific argumentation and also legal action of the site.
