[External_Sender] NRC Docket 72-1050 NRC 2016-0231 NRC - WCS EIS 2018 RE: NRC Docket 72-1050 NRC 2016-0231
Dear,
To the NRC, I strongly urge you to reject the Proposal to transport all the US high level nuclear waste to one site over the country's roads, railroads and waterways, taking 20-40 years to do so and severely endangering the health and well being of communities along the routes needlessly because it will have to be moved again once a permanent site is found. It is illegal to move all this nuclear waste until a permanent site exists.
None of todays certified waste containers are designed for real world transport conditions (temperatures, crash speeds, submersion in water) and have not been physically tested despite dump-promoters' misuse of 40 year-old crash-test videos on totally different casks. The storage containers cannot be monitored for potential cracks and leaks, inspected, repaired or replaced even though we know the waste will be dangerous longer than they will last. The technology is 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, inadequate containers over the nation's railroad tracks, roads and bridges.
Reject the Proposal to consolidate irradiated fuel because it is illegal, not allowed under federal law until there is a permanent repository operating. If NRC proceeds, the application should be published in Spanish so residents in the region can review it.
Please hold public meetings--none are now planned--Hold them communities and along all the potential routes especially in Texas. Extend the time for commenting 180 days.
Include in the Environmental Impact Statement scope, technical, social, geographic, cultural and political international impacts. The proposed site is geographically unstable, due to fracking, seismic activity from earthquakes, severe weather including extreme temperatures, floods and tornadoes which can impact the site causing waste containers to fail.
For so many critically important reasons including the health of our children and grandchildren I urge you to reject this proposal to consolidate all the high level US nuclear waste on one site. A foreign company does not hold the interests of the American people as a high priority and being able to profit off of drastically threatening the long term health and well being of the American people is wholly unacceptable. The EIS must address all of these issues.
Sincerely,
2 Ms. Linda Smith 545 Woodford St Missoula, MT 59801 (406) 543-6997
