Hauling
nuclear waste is extremely risky. Getting the
waste to the proposed site from nuclear power
reactors across the country will require the
largest nuclear transport campaign in world
history--more radioactivity and more shipments
than ever before. NRC's environmental analysis
unjustifiably claims the transport impacts are
small and ignore or minimize important
environmental dangers.
Shipping
high-level waste over the decades it will take
to get it to the proposed dump could create a
national disaster. Land, water, and air for
miles around an accident site could be
threatened by dangerous, possibly uninhabitable,
levels of contamination.
Tell
the NRC and your members of Congress to say NO
to the CIS facility in Texas.
This
high-level nuclear waste CIS proposal is part of
a larger pattern of NRC proposals and decisions
that increasingly put the health and lives of
millions of Americans at risk.
As
if all this weren’t enough, the NRC
short-circuited the democratic process, holding
poorly run conference calls for public comment
during the pandemic instead of waiting until
after the pandemic and holding proper
public meetings.
Again,
the deadline for comments is Tuesday,
November 3rd. We still have time
to weigh in. Tell
the NRC and your members of Congress to say NO
to decades of high level nuclear waste through
communities across the country and to the
proposed CIS facility in Texas.
Thanks
for all you do!
