Speak out against environmentally unjust nuke waste dumps & Mobile Chernobyls!

See Beyond Nuclear's Centralized Storage website section, for sample comments you can use to write your own for submission to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by the Sept. 22nd (Holtec/ELEA, NM) and Nov. 3rd (ISP/WCS, TX) deadlines.

Holtec International/Eddy Lea Energy Alliance proposes a consolidated interim storage facility (CISF) for up to 173,600 metric tons of irradiated nuclear fuel, in southeastern New Mexico -- a largley Hispanic area, near the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation.

Interim Storage Partners/Waste Control Specialists, just 40 miles away from Holtec's Laguna Gatuna, NM, site, proposes another CISF, for 40,000 MT of highly radioactive waste, in Andrews County, West Texas, on the NM border at Eunice.

In addition to the environmental injustice of the site selection alone, there is the EJ burden of the high-risk, highly radioactive waste shipments through most states -- Mobile Chernobyls, Dirty Bombs on Wheels, Floating Fukushimas, Three Mile Islands in Transport, Mobile X-ray Machines That Can't Be Turned Off. As Mustafa Ali, former head of EJ at US EPA, and now head of EJ at National Wildlife Federation, has pointed out, the road, rail, and waterway shipments of highly radioactive waste themselves will disproportionately harm low income and/or people of color communities who live along those routes.

Also see how to urge your Members of Congress (your U.S. Rep., and both your U.S. Senators) to demand of NRC that in-person public comment meetings be held in your state/congressional district, post-pandemic, once safe to do so.
