LET’S GIVE INPUT THIS WEEK together with each other online live –
TWO illegal Nuclear Waste Consolidated “Interim” Storage sites for nuclear power high level waste/irradiated (‘spent’) nuclear fuel are targeted for
–> Texas (company: WCS/ISP) and
–> New Mexico (company: Holtec) for nuclear power high level waste/irradiated (‘spent’) nuclear fuel and
–> the REST of the COUNTRY as the waste must travel to get there through or near YOUR state and region on rails/roads/waterways regularly
over the next 40+ years if they open.
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is processing both applications, has dismissed all intervenors and their objections,
and is now asking for public input on the environmental impacts.
Comments are due soon on the Draft Environmental Impact Statements (9-22-2020 on Holtec and 11-3-2020 on WCS ISP).
The draft statements both ridiculously claim that most environmental impacts will be ‘small,’ and a very few ‘moderate.’
This is for transport and storage of over 90% of the radioactivity in the nuclear power and weapons fuel chain! It cannot be so minimal.

(1) TEXAS and NM letter comment writing party THURS SEPT 17th
Texas and New Mexico are targeted to become nuclear waste dumps, but we can help protect our communities, as well as others across the nation who are at risk from the transport of deadly high-level radioactive waste. Thousands of shipments could occur, over decades, if we don’t act now to halt two dangerous proposals.
