[External_Sender] No nuclear waste in Texas
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Dear NRC Commissioners and Staff,
Interim Storage Projects application to store radioactive waste in Texas would UNCONSCIONABLY bring in 40,000 tons of "spent" nuclear fuel from nuclear reactors around the country.
The VILE, HIGHLY DEADLY plan would PREJUDICIALLY target a Latinx community with EXCEEDINGLY deadly nuclear waste. Stored waste would ALWAYS be at ENORMOUS risk from ENTIRELY UNPREDICTABLE earthquakes, sinkholes, temperature extremes, wildfires, intense storms and flooding.
IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT Consolidated interim storage is an TOTALLY illegal approach that does not EVER, IN ANY WAY, solve our VAST, GROWING nuclear waste problem. With this proposal, the NRC has NEGLIGENTLY AND INTENTIONALLY ignored ALL expert testimony, local opposition, and tens of thousands of written and oral comments.
The SO-CALLED Draft Environmental Impact Statement is DISASTROUSLY deficient because it OVERWHELMINGLY fails to:
- Account for disproportionate impacts to low-income communities of color (environmental justice communities) in the American Southwest and along transport routes.
- Details transportation routes and consider nationwide risk to millions of Americans along transport routes.
- Consider the risk of INEVITABLE leaks, sabotage or transportation accidents.
- Include a plan to repackage leaking waste casks and a plan to move waste when required.
- Complete the required alternatives analysis by considering Hardened Onsite Storage Systems (HOSS) as an alternative to Consolidated Interim Storage.
- GRAVELY Consider ALL past nuclear waste accidents that have cost hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to clean up.
- Detail cumulative impacts of the proposed facility and nearby sites on ALL workers, local people, and the FRAGILE, LIFE-SUSTAINING environment.
- Analyze ANY AND ALL potential for groundwater contamination.
I VEHEMENTLY oppose Consolidated Interim Storage at this AND ANY other sites. The DEIS HORRIFICALLY fails to adequately analyze CRITICALLY IMPORTANT environmental and cumulative impacts and the DANGEROUS socioeconomic risks of the OUTRAGEOUSLY proposed radioactive waste storage application. The NRC should ALWAYS protect public health and safety, the economy and the environment, by IMMEDIATELY halting the VILE application process and denying the license for Consolidated Interim Storage.
Sincerely, Jean Farris 2411 Vine St.
