Sample comments you can use to write your own for submission to NRC in opposition to Holtec's CISF in s.e. NM

Sample comments you can use to prepare you own, for submission to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). See how to submit public comments, by the May 29, 2018 environmental scoping period deadline, below.

We need to generate a large number of quality comments to NRC, just like we did over a year ago in opposition to a similar Centralized Interim Storage Facility (CISF, a.k.a. MRS, short for Monitored Retrievable Storage site) targeted at Andrews Co., w. TX, just 38 miles from the s.e. NM Holtec/ELEA site.

This week's Beyond Nuclear sample comments are focused on Mobile Chernobyl shipping risks.

Here they are, in PDF format, and in Word (.docx) format.

Feel free to use them in any way that is helpful to you -- including copying them in their entirety. You can also use them to help shape your ideas to express in your own words.

(In future weeks, additional sample comments will be provided by Beyond Nuclear, covering a multiplicity of the multi-faceted high risks of the Holtec/ELEA CISF/MRS proposal. Watch for them, to help you submit your own version to NRC by the deadline!)
