Beyond Nuclear appeals to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission against Holtec's CISF in NM
Beyond Nuclear's legal counsel, Diane Curran and Harmon Curran in Washington DC, and Mindy Goldstein of Turner Environmental Law Clinic at Emory U. in Atlanta GA, have appealed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) against the May 7, 2019 Atomic Safety and Licesning Board (ASLB) rulings in favor of Holtec International's license application. Holtec is targeting southeastern New Mexico for consolidated interim storage of 173,600 metric tons of commercial highly radioactive waste.
