[External_Sender] Docket NRC 2020-0065 Transfer of VLL (Radioactive)
Waste to Exempt Persons for Disposal
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission (TX CIS),
Dear NRC Commissioners and Staff:
I object to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) proposed reinterpretation of the rules which would allow radioactive waste to go to persons and places without radioactive licenses Docket NRC 2020-0065. Do not release radioactive waste to places without nuclear regulatory control. Do not give "specific exemptions" to entities to take radioactive waste, regardless of what other permits they might have for other kinds of waste.
Keep nuclear waste out of our communities, solid and hazardous waste landfills and incinerators, processing and recycling centers. I especially object to sending nuclear waste to hazardous waste sites because those sites are not designed to isolate radioactive materials and the combined health and environmental effects of both hazardous and radioactive materials could be exponentially worse than each on their own.
Fortunately for a few of us, some states will not allow the release of nuclear waste to regular trash, recycling, incinerators or hazardous facilities. But for the majority of the country, it will be virtually impossible to track what happens with potentially ALL of the nuclear power waste other than irradiated (spent) fuel. In fact, once NRC puts this interpretation in place, states could be able to virtually deregulate radioactive waste disposal as well, meaning that the concerned public must be ever-vigilant to every action of both federal and state regulators who could be releasing nuclear waste with no public notice.
My brother is permanently disabled from his "zoomies" exposure at Rancho Seco, now shut down. No amount of "millirems" is acceptable because they are not verifiable, enforceable or necessary.
In this election year I ask that you demonstrate a responsible, moral position and reject the VLLW proposal and all others that would release nuclear waste from radioactive controls. Keep nuclear waste under lock and key and out of solid and hazardous waste sites, whether landfills, incinerators, or recycling.
Sincerely, April Lea Go Forth Sincerely, April Lea Go Forth PO Box 1878 Alturas, CA 96101 530-233-2226
