Back in this country, the U.S. House voted to revive the process of licensing a nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain in Nevada.

国内方面，众议院就重启内华达州尤卡山核废料处理场进行投票。

Though still technically the nation’s only nuclear waste depository, Yucca Mountain remains empty—or, technically it’s full of mountain, but you know what I mean.

虽然从技术上讲仍然是美国唯一的核废料存放处， 但尤卡山仍然是空的——或者，从技术上讲， 它到处都是山， 但你明白我的意思。

You see, unlike Nye County, the previous home to Yucca Mountain, this new county, Bullfrog County, possessed the maximum property tax allowed by the state’s constitution.

你看，与 Yucca 山以前的所在地奈县不同，这个新县 Bullfrog 县拥有州宪法允许的最高财产税。

Late on June 18, 1987, Nevada’s legislature hastily drew up a bill that carved a 12-mile by 12-mile county around Yucca mountain—where the nuclear dump would be put.

1987 年 6 月 18 日晚些时候， 内华达州立法机构匆忙起草了一项法案，在尤卡山周围划出一个 12 英里乘 12 英里的县——核垃圾场将放置在那里。

Today, Yucca Mountain remains decidedly unstuffed, and as of 2010, de-funded, as the federal government has effectively given up on piling all its radioactive waste in southern Nevada.

今天，丝兰山仍然明显没有被填满， 并且截至 2010 年，由于联邦政府实际上已经放弃在内华达州南部堆放所有放射性废物， 因此没有资金支持。
