PObox434 whitethorn, CA, 95589 Email: nz101j@juno.com General Comment Why are all these high risks being taken in the first place?
For no good reason whatsoever! Certainly not to benefit public health, safety, security, or envir onmental protection, despite Holtec Inter national/Eddy Lea [Counties] Energy Alliance (Holtec/ELEA),
and nuclear power industry
, claims and PR spin to the contrary.
Truth be told, its to transfer
- title, liability, costs, and risks, for the highly radioactive irradiated nuclear fuel, from the com panies that generated it, and profited from its SUNS! Review Complete Template= ADM-013

generation, onto the backs of federal taxpayers (if the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is stuck paying all the bills and/or onto the backs of nuclear electricity ratepayers, if Holtec/ELEAs lobbyists can finagle access to the monies remaining in the Nuclear Waste Fund coffers
)
. Thats a pretty big favor to the companies in fact, its unique in all of industry And of course, if Holtec/ELEA can make la rge profits ( at public expense),
temporarily storin g these highly radioactive wastes (for 40 years, to 120 years, to de facto permanently), without having to shoulder any of the costs, or risk liabilities, well, that would work well for them! Well, the simple answer, and open secret
, is: Holtec/ELEA doesn't want to shoulder the costs, risks, and liabilities. It would prefer DOE (that is taxpayers, and/or ratepayers) shoulder those, while it simply pockets the profits.
This would be unsound action for the health and well being of thousands (if not millions) of people, as well as the land and environment in general.
