TX NUKE WASTE DUMPING: Bill may ban irradiated nuclear fuel

"We Do Not Consent!" sentiment has reached boiling point at the Texas Legislature. House Bill 7, purporting to ban highly radioactive waste dumping in TX, will be voted on for the second time in days at the State House of Representatives. If 100 Reps. vote yes, HB7 will take effect immediately. Concerns remain about whether HB7 will survive legal challenges, as by federal pre-emption. But its enactment into law will express strong non-consent for the Interim Storage Partners highly radioactive waste consolidated interim storage facility, targeted at Andrews County, West TX. NRC is poised to approve ISP's CISF as early as September 13. A coalition of opponents, including Beyond Nuclear, stands ready to challenge the license in federal court.
