How will nuclear wastes be transported to Yucca Mountain?

Answer:
Spent fuel would be put into very heavy and secure containers (flasks) which could be transported by railroad as far as possible. I'm not sure if it is intended to build a railroad up to the repository, but that would be best. Otherwise the flasks could be transferred to road trucks for the last part of the route.
