Beyond Nuclear's 12th of public comments re: NRC's Holtec CISF DEIS were verbally submitted by radioactive waste specialist Kevin Kamps at the NRC's 7/9/20 call-in session. They were about the July 16ths that will live in nuclear infamy, in New Mexico (1945, the Trinity atomic "test" blast in the Tularosa Basin; 1927, the Church Rock uranium tailings pond dam breach that catastrophically contaminated the Rio Puerco River, the sole source readily available, used by Navajo/Diné shepherds for drinking water for their families, as well as water for their livestock; 2018, NRC's official announcement launching the Holtec CISF licensing proceeding.)

See pages 113 to 119 of NRC's official transcript (pages 114 to 120 of 177 on the PDF Counter) for Kamps's comments.
