Beyond Nuclear - Centralized Storage

Dear NRC Staff,

We submit these comments on behalf of our member and supporter, David Preston, at his request. Please find David's comments, below, in italics.

The subject matter David has raised has gotten little to no attention in NRC's ISP/WCS CISF DEIS, a far cry from NEPA's legally binding "hard look" requirement.

Please address and rectify your woefully inadequate "hard look" under NEPA, re: this health-, safety-, and environmentally-significant, as well as legally-binding, subject matter.

And please acknowledge your receipt of these comments, and confirm their inclusion as official public comments in the record of this docket.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kay Drey, President, Board of Directors, Beyond Nuclear

and

Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Specialist, Beyond Nuclear

David Preston's comments:

Re: High-Level Storage

“Interim Storage” is an oxymoron and a blatant lie. Once this radioactive detritus is in place, it will never be (re)moved.

If Nevada is fighting permanent storage, temporary storage should be a non-starter.
