Holtec's sole route map for high-level radioactive waste shipments in its License Application. It accounts for only four of 131 atomic reactors in the country (one at Maine Yankee, and three at San Onofre, CA.) NRC's DEIS did not include even a single such route map.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will conduct TWO public meetings via webinar soliciting comments on a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Holtec International’s (Holtec) proposed Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (CISF) for spent nuclear fuel in Lea County, New Mexico. The draft EIS evaluates potential environmental impacts of Holtec’s request to build and operate the proposed CISF.
The public meeting webinars will be accessible to the public by navigating, on the day and time of the meeting, to the internet link below and entering the event number associated with the date of the webinar when prompted. Telephone access is also provided by dialing the telephone number and entering the passcode provided below. The NRC staff will present the results of the draft environmental impact analysis and receive the public’s comments on the draft report.

Both public meeting webinars will commence at 3:00 pm Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), the first on June 23, 2020, and the second on July 9, 2020.
