[External_Sender] Docket ID NRC-2018-0052 Draft Environmental Impact Statement Comment

Dear NRC Staff,

I do not consent to Holtec! The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is not only a complicated mess, but severely under-states the true impact Holtec will have on Southeast NM, the rest of the state, and the country. While there are many major reasons why this DEIS is lacking, many of which have been mentioned this summer during the inadequate public webinar presentations by those who see the obvious environmental danger of the project, the lack of focus on the environmental racism that Holtecs project will perpetuate is appalling. Not only have the communities most impacted not been truly listened to in this decision process, but the cumulative impacts from the historical presence of the nuclear industry in the state of New Mexico has not been considered- if they were, the so-called small or no impact ratings would not have been given for the potential for environmental racism. In a time where the realities of racial inequality and environmental racism are at the forefront of the nations consciousness, it is grossly irresponsible for the NRC and/or Holtec International to refuse to acknowledge their complicity and even active participation in enacting environmental racism in the form of nuclear colonialism that started over 75 years ago. It is absolutely necessary for the finalized EIS to explore in much greater detail how Holtecs CIS facility would perpetuate environmental racism-as it stands right now, it is severely lacking.

As a final note, Id like to mention that the act of allowing the Holtec licensing period to continue despite the the ever-growing Covid-19 pandemic is irresponsible, dismissive of the impacted communities, and a clear expression of the greediness of those who would financially benefit from the proposed destructive and invasive storage of high-level radioactive waste.
