[External_Sender] Please do not approve Holtec permit in New Mexico
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission Holtec comments,
There seems to have been little consideration or preparation to deal with the volatile waste product of nuclear reactions elsewhere in the nation. It begs the question what the federal government (EPA, etc.)
is doing? There's the assumption that there is always plenty of empty space to dump radioactive especially in the west, but this assumption seems to ignore that there are indeed people (and more often than not, Native Americans and Hispanics) residing there living on the as-of-yet unpolluted land. If the Holtec permit is to approved, there should at least be concrete stipulations providing for the safe future of the waste and to find ways to diminish this threat in the future (promises of tax dollars spent on research and projects for safer and cleaner energy). Here is another case postponing problems for them to resurface later in a worse way.
I object to the approval of the Holtec Consolidated Interim Storage site near Carlsbad, NM. It would be safer to reduce transportation of highly radioactive used reactor fuel by leaving it at the site of generation until a permanent repository exists. ?
-- The proposed site is near a highway, presenting a terrorism risk.
--?The plan does not adequately address radiation risk to workers. ?
--?There should be real-time monitoring for leakage.
--?The lack of consideration of Hardened On-Site Storage at the reactor site as an alternative is a glaring problem. ?
--?The lack of an on-site plan to deal with leakage is extremely concerning.
Thank you for your consideration.
