The Dangers of Transporting Nuclear Waste/Stop Environmentally Unjust Nuclear Dumps

Video presentation recorded on July 8, 2020, published on Sept. 7, 2020, on "The Dangers of Transporting High-Level Radioactive Waste." Beyond Nuclear's radioactive waste specialist, Kevin Kamps, presents from the beginning to the 22 minute mark in the recording, followed by Tim Judson, Ex. Dir. of NIRS.

Catherine Skopic was a lead organizer of the event, and the Manhattan Sierra Club Chapter a primary sponsor.

This excerpt was edited for the Westchester public access TV station of Altice, for our sister show, Environmental News and Views with Host/producer Marilyn Elie.

The original event had this program:

Speakers;

KAREN CAMPBLIN - NAACP Environment & Climate Justice Committee Chair

LEONA MORGAN - Dine, Navajo Organizer; Co-Founder, Nuclear Issues Study Group

KEVIN KAMPS - Beyond Nuclear; Nuclear Waste Watchdog

ROSE GARDNER - Alliance for Environmental Strategies, New Mexico

Support Speakers:

MICHEL LEE, Esq. - Sr. Analyst, Promoting Health and Sustainable Energy (PHASE)

MARI INOUE, Esq. - Co-Founder, Manhattan Project for A Nuclear-Free World

TIM JUDSON - Executive Director, Nuclear Information Resource Service (NIRS)

Our Goals:

1. Inform organizations/individuals about the proposed nuclear landfills & nuclear dumps

2. Inspire people to submit comments to NRC before [Sept. 22, Oct., and Nov. 3 deadlines]; write letters to editors

3. We Can Stop This - encourage actions to prevent the EJ violation of nuclear landfills & dumps

US regulators take public comments on nuclear fuel plan

As reported by AP.

Please note that Jack Edlow's claim in the article, that states must first "consent" to high-level radioactive waste shipments, before they pass through, is false. When pressed, the other side -- including the U.S. DOE -- typically invokes the Interstate Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, to say no consent is required, to haul high-level radioactive waste through a community, county, state, or Native American reservation.

In fact, when Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps asked about transport corridor consent, DOE's John Kotek did just that -- explicitly invoked the Interstate Commerce Clause -- at the "kick off" meeting for "consent-based siting" public comment in DC in Dec. 2015.

Edlow looks to ultimately make hundreds of millions of dollars, or more, as an irradiated nuclear fuel transport middleman, on the CISFs, hence his false propaganda. He's been at it for many decades, and his father before him.

Fort Worth doesn't need dangerous nuclear waste rolling through on Tarrant rail lines

Peggy Hendon is president of the League of Women Voters of Tarrant County. Linda Hanratty is the group’s environmental chairwoman.

Beyond Nuclear comments to the New Mexico Environment Department, opposed to the expanded Forever WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant)

See Beyond Nuclear's public comments, posted at our Repositories website section.

See the backgrounder, "WIPP History: The Forever WIPP Expansion & the New Shaft Permit Modification," dated July 20, 2020, posted at the CCNS (Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety) website.

The WIPP site is only 16 miles from the proposed Holtec/ELEA highly radioactive waste consolidated interim storage facility (CISF). And just 40 miles from there, is the Waste Control Specialists national "low" level radioactive waste dump, and propsed CISF, in Andrews County, west Texas, immediately upon the New Mexico border at Eunice. This attempt to turn the majority minority State of New Mexico, and the majority Hispanic and Native American southeast of NM, into a national radioactive waste sacrifice zone, is an outrageous environmental injustice. Learn more about the CISFs at our Centralized Storage website section.

Beyond Nuclear's comments includes a section on the transport risks of the expanded Forever WIPP scheme, originating at sites such as Hanford, WA, Savannah River Site, SC, West Valley, NY, and elsewhere, then shipping through many states, en route to southeastern NM.
