WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating possible document falsification by workers on the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump project in Nevada, a congressional staffer said Wednesday.
Chad Bungard, deputy staff director and chief counsel for a House Government Reform subcommittee, said he learned of the probe from the inspector general's office at the Department of Interior, which also was investigating.
"I think they're doing the right thing by pursuing the criminal matter in this case," he said.
FBI spokesman Bryan Sierra declined to comment.
