Holte< lnlemlliooal wants lhe Nuclear Regulator)' Commission (NRC) to let them build I massive high-level radioactive waste storage facility between WIPP and Hobbs New Mexico. This wUle would be r,:proceasing waslel and spent fuel rods from ~rudor In the country. Since almost all lhe reactO<S are in the Ea.st. trains would bring in ~ucJear ~OB around the cououy for 20 yean.
Transporutioo of high level waste (HLW) on this,cale 1w ocvcr been done before and is exmmcly dangerous and expensive-especially since the entire n.il system wou.Jd have to be rcbuill to cany the enormow weight of the tn. W casu. Thcr,: are also questions about the safety or the thin-walled casks themsclve,.
Since the~ Is currently oo disposal fadllty for this waste, would this *storage* site end up being a disposal site? 0., will this waste eveotuaUy end up In WIPP? (NMEO currently has five r'"t '1 T' ~,
\\'<
- I 'I modifications lO the WIPP permit in play, including modi6cations for it to rccc.ive high level waste and to loc,use its size aod the amount of waste it can receive.
To lM NRC: WE DO NOT CONSENT to the rbb and dafllH' from 1111s fadllty. Without a final disposal facility it is premature to 1r.1DSp011 tens of thousands of fuel rods to New MeJ<ico. This is an imsponsible and poorly thougbt--OUt plan with too many dangcn to communities both along the transportation roulel and in New Mexico. Deny Holtec their license to sto~ this waste right nowt Name (clease orint)
