11.Governor Don Sundquist, Tennessee
"Nearly constant review of these activities [scientific and environmental studies] by various commissions, boards, and advisory agencies has not identified disqualifying site characteristics. At this time, in addition to protecting future generations and the environment by permanently isolating high-level nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel, it will also take in account post September 11 reality of securing and protecting the current numerous spent fuel storage locations across the nation. Your positive recommendation of the Yucca Mountain site will make the best use of national resources."

12.Governor Jim Hodges, South Carolina
"I believe that the extensive geologic and related studies on Yucca Mountain by scientists and engineers over the last two decades and review by the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board and the National Academy of Science provide a sound basis for proceeding with the regulatory process. Therefore, South Carolina urges that you recommend to the President that the DOE proceed to the NRC licensing process as our best hope for this generation and for America in responsible management of nuclear waste from national defense programs and from commercial electric power generation."

13.Governor Bob Taft, Ohio
"I strongly urge the Department of Energy to move forward expeditiously to establish at operable repository for the ultimate disposal of nuclear waste. In consideration of the extensive scientific studies at Yucca Mountain, the effort to determine site suitability should be accelerated. This can only benefit all of those impacted by the absence of adequate disposal for such waste, including the citizens of Ohio."

16.Nuclear Energy Agency and International Atomic Energy Agency
The International Review Team found that DOE's evaluation "methodology is soundly based and has been implemented in a competent manner. Overall, the IRT considers that the implemented performance assessment approach provides an adequate basis for supporting a statement on likely compliance within the regulatory period of 10,000 years and, accordingly, for the site recommendation decision."

19.President George W. Bush
"A deep geologic repository, such as Yucca Mountain, is important for our national security and our energy future. Nuclear energy is the second largest source of U.S. electricity generation and must remain a major component of our national energy policy in the years to come. The cost of nuclear power compares favorably with the costs of electricity generation by other sources, and nuclear power has none of the emissions associated with coal and gas power plants."
