[External_Sender] No nuclear waste in Texas
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Dear NRC Commissioners and Staff,
Theres no guarantee whatsoever that this will be a temporary waste site.
Lets be realistic. Even a deep underground waste site like Yucca Mountain will threaten all future generations water supply in the Nevada region.
The idea of an above-ground or shallow sites being safe - containing material from all over the United States - safe from earthquakes, fires!, - nuclear bombs!! -- is pure wishful thinking.
What happens if no deep burial site for these fuel rods is ever built? I dont believe a deep burial site will ever be approved. No state wants it -- ever has or ever will.
I hope youll just keep the fuel rods in hardened casks - underground, they should be-- separated far apart, right there where the waste was generated. If - or when - there is a catastrophe, at least the environmental damage will be fairly localized. Only 2 or 3 states would be contaminated for hundreds or thousands of years if the fuel rods catch fire at one of our nuclear plants. That would be horrible enough.
But the national catastrophe that you are preparing if you approve this so-called interim waste site would be the worst environmental catastrophe in history, short of nuclear war.
Please think of this; In the lifetime of this waste, the United States of America will disappear.
Future civilizations will rise and fall. And rise and fall.
The only constant in all that future time will be our foolish, selfish, generations legacy of nuclear waste.
Sincerely, Mary Jane Williams 5635 Catskill Ct.
