Spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive wastes make up most of the material proposed for disposal in the Yucca Mountain repository. Approximately 90 percent of the material proposed to be disposed in the repository will be commercial spent nuclear fuel and approximately 10 percent will be high-level radioactive waste from defense programs.
