See the letter, signed by NM's two U.S. Senators and three U.S. Representatives (all Democrats), addressed to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) chairman Kristine Svinicki.

The letter calls on NRC to postpone a series of public meetings, scheduled for southern NM in mid-April, and northern NM in early May, re: the NRC staff's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on the Holtec International/Eddy-Lea Energy Alliance scheme for an irradiated nuclear fuel consolidated interim storage facility (CISF). It also calls for the 60-day public comment period to be extended.
