MORE REBUFF OF TX WASTE SITE: 63 Democratic State Legislators Speak Out

As described in an environmental coalition press release, Texans have loudly and clearly expressed non-consent regarding hosting highly radioactive waste at Interim Storage Partners' consolidated interim storage facility, at Waste Control Specialists in Andrews County on the border with New Mexico. In a letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), 63 Democratic state legislators have joined Governor Greg Abbott, five counties (including Dallas, and Andrews itself), and three cities, in saying "We Don't Want It!" NRC published its Final Environmental Impact Statement today, and the three sitting Commissioners will rubber-stamp their approval of the construction and operation license by mid-September. A coalition, including Beyond Nuclear, has already appealed.
