[External_Sender] Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS),
Docket No. 72-1050; NRC-2016-0231
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission (TX CIS),
To the NRC:
The NRC has not adequately considered the environmental impacts of transporting nuclear waste to and from the proposed Interim Storage Partners (ISP) high level waste storage site in Texas--
neither in the cask certification processes nor this draft environmental impact statement. This shortfall is even worse for hotter "high burn up" irradiated fuel which was not considered in most analyses.
Thousands of intensely radioactive shipments, over decades, would travel through most of the states, a vast majority of Congressional districts, mostly by train but also by road and barge on vital waterways. The impacts are not "small." The reports used to make this conclusion are wrong and must be replaced. They underestimate the probability of serious accidents especially for rail freight and fires.
I object to these unnecessary risks and ask NRC to reject the ISP license application.
Sincerely, Robert Walsh 20157 Pacifica Cupertino, CA 95014 408-875-3529
