NM Gov. to Trump: Stop CISFs in Permian Basin!

NM Gov. Michelle Lujan GrishamOn 7/28, NM Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (photo, left) wrote the president a strongly worded letter, opposing environmentally unjust high-level radioactive waste consolidated interim storage facilities targeted at her state by Holtec, and on its border by Interim Storage Partners (ISP) at Waste Control Specialists in TX. NRC's deadlines for public comments on its Holtec and ISP Draft Environmental Impact Statements are Sept. 22 and Nov. 3, respectively. See sample comments you can use to write your own, as well as submission instructions to send them to NRC, for Holtec, NM, and ISP, TX; please contact both your U.S. Senators, and your U.S. Rep., urging them to demand NRC extend the deadlines, and hold in-person public comment meetings in your state/district, once safe to do so, post-pandemic. (Holtec licensing hearings, with a public listen-in line, will be held on 8/5.)
