RE: Waste Control Specialists LLCs / ISPs Consolidated Interim Spent Fuel Storage Facility Project
Dear May Ma and NRC,
Waste Control Specialists and their partner seek to import up to 40,000 tons of spent fuel, high-level radioactive waste, from nuclear reactors around the country and store it on WCS existing site in Andrews County for 40 years (or longer). This dangerous waste can lead to cancers, genetic damage and birth defects. Human exposure to unshielded high-level radioactive waste can lead to immediate death.
As the grandmother of a one year old, with another grandson on the way, I am extremely opposed to this dumping. This has an immediate health impact on THREE generations!
Homeowners insurance doesnt cover radioactive contamination. Importing high-level radioactive waste would create risks to public health, safety and financial well-being. This project and a similar proposal by Holtec for nearby New Mexico should be halted immediately. Waste would travel through major Texas cities to reach either site.
This is particularly impactful in our area with all of our gas/oil production. The thought of an accident and its repercussions is beyond imagination.
Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, the WCS facility cannot legally operate, so the NRC shouldnt even be considering the license application.
I strongly stand with my fellow Texans in opposing this proposal!
