NRC ASLB sets WCS/ISP CISF oral argument pre-hearing dates for Midland, TX -- July 10-11

See the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Atomic Safety and Licensing Board order, here.

Beyond Nuclear has petitioned to intervene against the license. Our legal counsel are Diane Curran of Washington, DC, and Mindy Goldstein of Atlanta, GA.

Beyond Nuclear is joined by a broad environmental coalition, including Sierra Club (legal counsel, Wally Taylor), as well as a seven-group coalition representing grassroots groups along transport routes across the country (legal counsel, Terry Lodge, Toledo, OH).

The Interim Storage Partners consolidated interim storage facility is targeted at Waste Control Specialists in Andrews County, west Texas, right on the New Mexico state line, near Eunice. The ISP/WCS CISF would "temporarily store" 40,000 metric tons of irradiated nuclear fuel from commercial atomic reactors across the country, if licensed, constructed, and operated. That's nearly half what currently exists in the U.S.
