What YOU can do to help block de facto permanent, surface storage, "parking lot dumps"!

What can you do?

Contact your U.S. Representative, and urge opposition to the dangerously bad bill, H.R. 2699!

You can also contact both your U.S. Senators. Urge them to oppose S. 2917, H.R. 2699's companion bill.

You can also reach your Congress Members' D.C. offices by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

The bill's title is the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2019.

 

The environmentally racist legislation would restart the Yucca Mountain, Nevada high-level radioactive waste dump licensing proceeding. Yucca is Western Shoshone Indian land.

The bill would also authorize so-called "consolidated interim storage facilites" in a Hispanic region of the Permian Basin, on either side of the New Mexico/Texas border, on traditional Comanche and Pueblo lands near the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation.

If enacted, H.R. 2699/S. 2917 would launch tens of thousands of Mobile Chernobyls, Dirty Bombs on Wheels, Floating Fukushimas, and Mobile X-ray Machines That Can't Be Turned Off (irradiated nuclear fuel trucks, trains, and barges) through most states, over not years but decades.

Also urge your Members of Congress to block any funding for the Yucca dump, as well as for consolidated interim storage facilities!

Please take urgent action, and spread the word!
