TX, 77401 Email: ekodear@gmail.com General Comment Regarding Docket ID NRC-2016-0231.
I oppose the Waste Control Specialists (WCS) in West Texas, which seeks to open a de facto permanent parking lot dump for up to half the commercial high-level radioactive waste in the U.S., upstream of the Ogallala Aquifer, vital drinking and irrigation water supply for numerous High Plains states, from Texas to South Dakota.
I was born in West Texas and could not image not being about to visit my family. Much less your plan to transport this in my backyard.
Although you may see that the region around WCS has a high proportion of low income, Latin American residents, what a bad way to choose a location, and is already heavily burdened with nuclear activities (radioactive waste dumping, uranium enrichment, etc.) and dirty fossil fuel industries (widespread, heavily polluting oil extraction and natural gas fracking). WCS would launch unprecedented numbers of high-risk irradiated nuclear fuel train (and even barge) shipments through many states. Those shipments would Including my backyard.
Risks of Loss of Institutional Control if De Facto Permanent Parking Lot Dumps are Abandoned, Containers Fail, and Release Catastrophic Amounts of Hazardous Radioactivity into the Environment.

Why Are These Risks Being Taken? For no good reason.
This is not a plan for your objectives but a plan for disaster. Although this may be a 17 year old plan in the making your names will always be linked to this disaster.
