Joe Egan's dying wish was granted over the weekend, when the ashes of the attorney who led Nevada's fight against nuclear waste were scattered at Yucca Mountain.
A group of 18 family members, friends and work associates hiked a quarter mile up the base of the mountain's west side on Saturday and held a short ceremony officiated by an elder of the Western Shoshone Nation, several participants said.
Egan died in May at age 53 from gastro-esophageal cancer. He was Nevada's lead attorney in lawsuits seeking to halt the nuclear waste repository the Department of Energy proposes to build at the mountain, 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
