PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 5/24/18 1:24 PM Received: May 20, 2018 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. 1k2-938z-7stv Comments Due: July 30, 2018 Submission Type: Web Docket: NRC-2018-0052 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Comment On: NRC-2018-0052-0058 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Document: NRC-2018-0052-DRAFT-0083 Comment on FR Doc # 2018-10418 Submitter Information Name: Anonymous Anonymous Submitter's Representative: Martin Kral Organization: Self General Comment Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2018, H.R. 3053. This important legislation is the first step in addressing the stalemate on a sustainable used fuel program that has persisted for almost a decade and has caused taxpayers to be saddled with billions in costs because the government is 20 years late in picking up the used fuel. The legislation provides a path forward for all stakeholders.
Today, used nuclear fuel is stored safely and securely on-site at nuclear energy facilities around the country.
However, the government's failure to meet its statutory obligation to pick up the nation's used nuclear fuel has cost taxpayers over $6 billion. While there will continue to be a significant impact on taxpayers while further legislative action is pending, H.R. 3053 paves the way for this obligation to finally be met. Importantly, this bill will allow the U.S. to move forward on consolidated interim storage which will help expedite the removal of used fuel from local communities and allow them to begin to redevelop the sites while the permanent repository undergoes final consideration and construction.
I would prefer the Holtec Hi-Store CIS in New Mexico over the competitive site at WCS in West Texas.
