NRC ASLB rules against SEED Coalition contention, terminates WCS/ISP CISF licensing proceeding

How very appropriate this ASLB ruling was published on Friday the 13th!

See the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Atomic Safety and Licensing Board MEMORANDUM AND ORDER, here.

As this was the last remaining unrejected contention, the ASLB has now terminated the proceeding.

The Sustainable Energy and Economic Development (SEED) Coalition of Texas, as well as the other coalition of Don't Waste Michigan, et al. (a seven-group coalition), plan to appeal to the NRC Commissioners.

Terry Lodge of Toledo, OH serves as legal counsel for Don't Waste Michigan, et al., including the Texas-based groups SEED Coalition and Public Citizen Texas Office.

Interim Storage Partners (ISP) has proposed "temporarily storing" up to 40,000 metric tons of highly radioactive commercial irradiated nuclear fuel, and Greater Than Class C (GTCC) "low-level" radioactive waste, at Waste Control Specialists, LLC (WCS), in Andrews County, West Texas, right on the New Mexico state line, near Eunice, NM. The site is very near to, or even directly above, the Ogallala Aquifer.
