He and Berkely had ordered up the GAO probe after an anonymous whistleblower sent a letter to the Energy Department's inspector general charging waste, fraud and abuse in the Yucca project.

Consider the experience of Stewart, 36, a Chicagoan who asked that his last name not be used. He had been working full time as an inspector in a steel-forging company for five months when he was laid off on Sept. 26. Illinois pays jobless benefits only to those who have worked full time, continuously, for 12 months before they lose their jobs.
