Beyond Nuclear's 27th set of public comments, re: Docket ID NRC-2018-0052, re: NRC's Holtec/ELEA CISF DEIS

As submitted via <holtec-cisfeis@nrc.gov>

Dear Holtec-CISFEIS Resource and NRC Staff, 

This is Beyond Nuclear's 27th set of public comments in this proceeding. (The 26th set was forwarded by the SEED Coalition on our behalf.)

I submit these comments on behalf of our members and supporters, named below. As you will read, they are concerned not about the risks in New Mexico itself, near the targeted Holtec/ELEA Laguna Gatuna site, but across New Mexico, but beyond as well -- throughout the rest of the country, along road, rail, and waterway routes, high risk, highly radioactive waste shipments to Holtec's CISF, as well as to Yucca Mountain, Nevada, on Western Shoshone land, would take place. Yucca is illegally and improperly assumed by Holtec, as well as NRC, to someday become a permanent disposal repository, an issue addressed by one of our members/supporters below.

Due especially to the numerous problems we have experienced submitting public comments via this <holtec-cisfeis@nrc.gov> email address, please acknowledge receipt of these comments, and please provide me with confirmation of their proper placement in the official public record for this proceeding.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kevin Kamps, Beyond Nuclear

Re: High-Level Storage

“Interim Storage” is an oxymoron and a blatant lie. Once this radioactive detritus is in place, it will never be (re)moved.

If Nevada is fighting permanent storage, temporary storage should be a non-starter.
