[External_Sender] Beyond Nuclear public comments #9, re: NRC's Holtec/ELEA CISF DEIS, Docket ID NRC-2018-0052

Dear NRC Staff,

On Sunday, May 10, 2020, the following article was published:

• Santa Fe New Mexican - Cerro Grande Fire remains burned into New Mexico's memory 20 years later - By Scott Wyland This is yet another reason that the Holtec/ELEA CISF targeted at NM is one environmental justice burden too many. So too the WCS/ISP CISF targeted at the NM border at Eunice, just a mile or so into TX. NM has suffered enough from the nuclear industry already.

This radioactive and toxic fallout cloud plume from the Cerro Grande Fire is clearly shown on the New Mexico Hazards Map ("Water, Air and Land: A Sacred Trust") by Deborah Reade of Santa Fe, NM.

The map is posted online here:

NM has too long shouldered too many EJ burdens -- nuclear, fossil fuel, and other hazards.

For this reason alone, the Holtec/ELEA CISF is a non-starter, as yet another, major, EJ violation.

So too is the WCS/ISP CISF in TX, a mile or so from the NM border at Eunice.

These comments are submitted on behalf of our members and supporters in NM and TX, as well as across the U.S. along the impacted transport routes.

Please acknowledge the receipt of these comments. Thank you.
