Whether the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository system will adversely impact tourism in southern Nevada is an
open question of particular importance to visitor-oriented rural counties bisected by planned waste transportatin corridors
(highway or rail). As part of one such county's repository impact assessment program, tourism implications of Three Mile Island
(TMI) and other major hazard events have beem revisited to inform ongoing county-wide socioeconomic assessments and contingency
planning efforts. This paper summarizes key research implications of such research as applied to Lincoln County, Nevada. Implications
for other rural counties are discussed in light of the research findings. 相似文献
