McCracken Nye County Town History Project Nye County, Nevada Tonopah 2009 COPYRIGHT 2009 Nye County Town History Project Nye County Commissioners Tonopah, Nevada 89049 Troy Wade 2008 CONTENTS Preface Acknowledgments Introduction CHAPTER ONE Troy's family background and early days in Cripple Creek, Colorado; Troy's education and early years in mining; his move to the Nevada Test Site; the politics of nuclear testing in the late 1950s; working on safety issues for the Test Site and the Atomic Energy Commission; a move to Washington, D.C.; a move to Idaho and a thorough grounding in nuclear energy and nuclear policy; a return to Washington. CHAPTER TWO A discussion of the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain; reprocessing nuclear waste; some background on the history and politics behind Yucca Mountain. CHAPTER THREE Troy describes his position on Yucca Mountain; thoughts on the future of spent nuclear fuel in Nevada and worldwide. INDEX PREFACE The Nye County Town History Project (NCTHP) engages in interviewing people who can provide firsthand descriptions of the individuals, events, and places that give history its substance. The products of this research are the tapes of the interviews and their transcriptions. In themselves, oral history interviews are not history. However, they often contain valuable primary source material, as useful in the process of historiography as the written sources to which historians have customarily turned. Verifying the accuracy of all of the statements made in the course of an interview would require more time and money than the NCTHP's operating budget permits.
