[External_Sender] NRC Docket 72-1050 NRC 2016-0231 NRC - WCS EIS 2018 RE: NRC Docket 72-1050 NRC 2016-0231
Dear,
NRC must REJECT WCS (and all) applications for a Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (CISF) for high-level nuclear waste because such facilities are NOT allowed under US federal laws.
American taxpayers adamantly reject the intention of corporate interests to walk away from their failures of management, leaving taxpayers for generations into the future with burden of paying for the malpractice of an obsolete
& uneconomic energy industry that produces ill health in Americans.
You must reject the proposal to transport & consolidate irradiated fuel because it is not allowed under federal law until there is a permanent repository operating.
The Public needs to see & evaluate an independent Environmental Impact Statement in Spanish & English, and public hearings must be held along all the potential routes. Include in the Environmental Impact Statement the scope, technical, social, geographic, cultural and political international impacts.
TRANSPORT DANGERS--
40,000+ tons of the most deadly radioactive waste transported over the nation's railroad tracks, roads and bridges is a non-starter of an idea. None of todays certified waste containers are designed for real world transport conditions.
SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS --
WCS already has hazardous, radioactive and mixed waste and an adjacent uranium enrichment facility present multiple hazards and potential for accidental releases. In addition it provides obvious prelude to nuclear warhead proliferation, entails massive water use and intense, irreversible environmental contamination. Reprocessing was proposed at this same site before and must be addressed in the EIS..
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS Andrews County, Texas is subject to severe weather and climatic conditions that could endanger nuclear waste containers. Extreme temperatures, wind and abrasive sand storms, fire, lightning strikes and storms, floods, and tornadoes can all impact the site. Prevailing winds from Andrews will carry any releases north and northeast to densely populated regions of the nation.
PROXIMITY TO WATER--
WCS is seeking a permit to release radioactive and hazardous water to the New Mexico side of its property endangering nearby major aquifer formations.
2 ACTS OF MALICE and OTHER DELIBERATE SABOTAGE en route to and at the proposed site must be considered, including potential drone attacks.
STORAGE CONTAINER SYSTEMS The period of storage of irradiated fuel at WCS could exceed the expected life of the dry cask containers in which it is stored. NRC must consider the industry's current inability to prevent cask failure or re-containerize nuclear waste when casks fail, the absence of a facility at the proposed WCS site to perform such operations, and the amount and source of funds to pay for it.
Sincerely, Mr. E Green General Delivery Paris, TX 75460
