i would like to comment on NRC's woefully inadequate, to nearly non-existent, treatment of highly radioactive waste transport risks. This violates the long-established legal requirement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that NRC take a "hard look" at the major federal action of licensing the WCS/ISP CISF proposal, including its inextricably linked high-risk transportation component, impacting most states in the Lower 48. Its analysis of the same 2008 U.S. Department of Energy Yucca Mountain, NV document that NRC itself cites as its excuse for not having to do a CISF-specific transport analysis in 2020!) Road and rail shipments, by heavy-haul truck or legal weight truck, as well as trains, represent potential Mobile Chernobyls and Dirty Bombs on Wheels, in terms of accident or attack risks; and Mobile X-ray Machines That Can't Be Turned Off, in terms of "routine" or "incident-free" gamma-and neutron-radiation emissions at close range.The risk of transport of these very dangerous nuclear wastes is a crime against humanity. The NRC needs to stop this dangerous energy form and create very specific and comprehensive rules for its waste.
Sincerely, Miriam Kurland 566 East St. Williamsburg, MA 01096
