Yucca Mountain Radioactive waste dump question?

i have some questions about yucca mountain. so I know that they are supposedly stopping funding for it which means it will go unused but do they have any radioactive material waste stored there or were they waiting until the actual tunnel and things were done to send the waste? other question if waste is there about how long have they been dumping?

Thanks :)

    quite a few the nuclear waste created interior the united statescomes from the production of nuclear weapons. The spent gasoline rods that make up nuclear fission ability plant waste might fill a hollow the size of a soccer field to a intensity of 5 ft. quite a few the spent gasoline rods are saved on internet site on the plant. After Yucca Mountain in Nevada is done, they are going to be transported there for storage.
