Hi Everyone,

Hope you're doing well and staying healthy!  Let’s keep working together to protect against radioactive waste risks! 

*The NRC has issued the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the nuclear waste storage project proposed for Andrews, Texas by Interim Storage Projects (WCS plus partner Orano).  Today's press release is [linked here]. It was written with Texas media in mind, but can be adapted used elsewhere if you’d like. (Please contact me if you’d like to do so.)

 

*Also attached: The Federal Register notice that will be published tomorrow and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, which is lengthy, is online at https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2012/ML20122A220.pdf. Please read and send comments if you can!  I’ll be working on an action alert soon, which can be emailed around.

 

A shorter (20 page) overview is online: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2012/ML20121A016.pdf

*Here's a link to a related Courthouse News story and Mose Buchele at KUT Radio provided great coverage on this issue today.  https://www.courthousenews.com/feds-give-thumbs-up-to-west-texas-nuke-waste-plan/
