[External_Sender] NRC Docket 72-1050 NRC 2016-0231 Reject the insane Proposal to consolidate deadly irradiated fuel because it is illegal, not, IN ANY WAY, allowed under federal law until there is a safe, permanent repository operating. If NRC illegally and unconscionably proceeds, the application should be published in Spanish so residents in the region can review it.
Please hold accessible, timely, well-advertised public meetings--UNBELIEVaBLY, none are now planned--Hold sufficient numbers of them in ALL communities and along all the potential routes especially in Texas. Extend the time for commenting 180 days.
Include in the Environmental Impact Statement scope, ALL technical, social, geographic, cultural and political international impacts.
SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS --
WCS already has EXTREMELY hazardous, radioactive and mixed waste and RECKLESSLY continues to bring in more to the site proposed for high level waste. There is a uranium enrichment facility next door. The EIS must METICULOUSLY evaluate the DEADLY effects of multiple hazards and impacts of ALL POSSIBLE accidents, releases, explosions from its neighbors EARTHQUAKES--
The area is potentially seismically active and there are large amounts of dangerous fracking and other extraction in proximity to the site, possibly, unimaginably and extremely recklessly even beneath the site!
EVER INCREASING SEVERE WEATHER and CLIMATIC CONDITIONS The site of the proposed CIS facility in Andrews County, Texas is subject to severe weather and climatic conditions that could AND WOULD, easily endanger nuclear waste containers. Extreme temperatures, wind and sand storms, wildfires, lightning strikes and storms, floods, and tornadoes can all impact the site.
PROXIMITY TO WATER--
WCS is wrong-headedly seeking a permit to release radioactive and hazardous water to the New Mexico side of its property. There is water at the site and there are nearby major life-sustaining aquifer formations.
ACTS OF MALICE and OTHER DELIBERATE SABOTAGE en route to and at the proposed site must be seriously considered, including potential drone attacks.
STORAGE CONTAINER SYSTEMS The period of storage of irradiated fuel at WCS could easily exceed the expected life of the dry cask containers in which it is stored. NRC must thoroughly and carefully consider the industry's present UNBELIEVABLE inability to re-containerize ALL nuclear waste when casks fail, the complete absence of such a highly necessary facility at the proposed WCS site to perform such crucial, life-saving operations, and the amount and source of funds to pay for it.
ENVIROMENTAL and ECONOMIC JUSTICE--
2 The proposed area has valuable industries and interests that would be threatened by the site. Even some of the hazardous and extractive industries that are a big part of the economy oppose the heinously conceived dump. West Texans have unfairly experienced extreme environmental racism for decades. People of Color continue to be disproportionately impacted by hazardous and toxic wastes.
TRANSPORT DANGERS--
None of todays recklessly certified waste containers are designed for real world transport conditions (temperatures, crash speeds, submersion in water) and have not, IN ANY WAY, been physically tested despite dump-promoters' blatant misuse of archaic, totally insufficient 40 year-old crash-test videos on totally different casks. The storage containers cannot be monitored for potential deadly cracks and leaks, inspected, repaired or replaced even though we know the waste will be dangerous longer than they will last. The technology is, supposedly, in the future according to NRC staff.
Tell the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to prevent 10s of 1000s of shipments of the most deadly radioactive waste in super-heavy, totally inadequate containers over the nation's railroad tracks, roads and bridges. DO NOT PLACE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN DANGER!
