[External_Sender] No nuclear waste in Texas
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Dear NRC Commissioners and Staff,
I oppose Interim Storage Projects application to store radioactive waste in Texas. Consolidated interim storage is an illegal approach and does not solve our nuclear waste problem.
The NRC has ignored expert testimony, local opposition, and tens of thousands of written and oral comments.
The plan would place deadly nuclear waste near a Latinx community. Stored waste would be at risk from earthquakes, sinkholes, temperature extremes, wildfires, intense storms and flooding.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is deficient because it 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 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.
- Consider 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 workers, local people, and the environment.
- Analyze potential for groundwater contamination.
Please stop the application process and deny the license for Consolidated Interim Storage.
Sincerely, Lori Vest 11501 Mid Mountain Road Potter Valley, CA 95469
