Scientists, interest groups and the community at large can now access a treasure trove of information on all sides of the Yucca Mountain debate, right from their home computers. More than one million documents related to the proposed high-level radioactive waste repository are now online at lsnnet.gov.

The site was developed to provide a single repository for Yucca Mountain project documents in a uniform, searchable format.

Research conducted by the Information Science Research Institute in UNLV's Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering was a major influence on the design and construction of this massive public database. The institute is a leader in developing software tools to classify, search, and translate documents.
