Holtec Ignores New Mexico State Land Office Authority

As reported by Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS) of Santa Fe, NM.

CCNS references a Beyond Nuclear action alert re: high-level radioactive waste (HLRW) truck, train, and barge shipment risks, bound for the Holtec/ELEA CISF (consolidated interim storage facility) targeted at s.e. NM. Beyond Nuclear cited State of Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects' analyses of road, rail and waterway routing to Yucca Mountain, NV. The futher away from the Southwest HLRW shipments originate, the more identical routing to NV or NM would be. Holtec has provided little to no information re: routing in its license application documents, and NRC has not required them to provide more information -- a point opponents to the CISF have raised in the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board proceedings. But the contentions have fallen on deaf ears. The ruling has been appealed to the NRC Commissioners.
