[External_Sender] NO to Holtec's desire to use New Mexico as nuclear dumping site I am sending email to say NO to Holtec project:

Among the major shortcoming of the proposal are that Holtec says that it wants to use the site for 120 years. But the DEIS limits its analysis of environmental impacts to 40 years, which is clearly inadequate and not technically credible. Since NRC has found that high-level radioactive waste can safely remain where it is for at least 120 years, that is a wiser choice for the next 40 years than packaging the waste and shipping it by rail through dozens of states - mostly in the eastern half of the nation - to New Mexico.

Since there is no permanent disposal site, it is likely that the waste at the Holtec site would never leave.

The DEIS omits discussion of Holtecs plan to have the federal government own and pay for waste transportation which is not legal under current law. Holtec has stated that it is lobbying Congress to change the law. The NRC is not supposed to engage in lobbying, even though the federal agency does appear to support such a change in the law by encouraging the Holtec plan.

Because Holtec wanted NRC to hurry and issue a license to operate the facility, the NRC did not keep its promise to hold five in-person meetings in New Mexico. Instead, it held inadequate and technologically challenged virtual meetings.

Here in New Mexico we are already dealing with leakage and radiation at "WIPP."

NO MORE unsafe, no more under-prepared plans (permanent plans) to dump nuclear waste in New Mexico which will be transferred by "rail" through several states.

NO, NO, NO, NEVER, NOPE.
