COMMENT {!I§),
PUBLICATION DATE: 3/30/2018 CITATION# 83 FR 13802 PUBLIC SUBMISSION Docket: NRC-2018-0052 As of: 4/19/18 9:4 7 AM Received: April 18, 2018 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. lk2-92o0-vdyl Comments Due: May 29, 2018 Submission Type: Web Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Comment On: NRC-2018-0052-0001 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Document: NRC-2018-0052-DRAFT-0026 Comment on FR Doc# 2018-06398 Submitter Information Name: Libbe HaLevy General Comment No. This is environmental racism, trying to force an untested storage technology on indigenous people and poor people of mostly Spanish descent because you assume they won't be able to effectively fight it off.
Holtec is not to be trusted; it is infamous in southern California for its "thin" canisters, only 5/8" thick stainless steel tin cans that cannot be monitored, repaired or moved... and now four of the first-loaded of these canisters loaded with San Onofre spent fuel rods have a valve problem that no one knows how to fix. Hauling, waste from decommissioned reactors around the country risks contamination from accidents, spills, even "permissable" leaks - though heaven knows, no one has the right to grant "permission" for high level radioactive materials to leak along our highways, railways, and waterways. This is nothing more than the nuclear industry's penchant for kicking the can down the road - making the problem something that belongs to another group of people, in another place, where the problem won't come due on the watch of the people who make the decisions. KNOCK IT OFF! Live up to your duty to protect "people and the environment" and stop protecting the financial interests of the nuclear industry. Even low level nuclear waste has deadly consequences for people and the environment; see: cancer rates in and around Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania. Stop being the lackeys of this deadly industry and start making sense of this nuclear mess before you get us all of us killed - slowly, invisibly, but inevitably - by this deadly technology.
