Holtec briefs filed in NRC appeal vs. Sierra Club, Beyond Nuclear, DWM et al., Fasken Oil & Gas

On June 28, 2019, Holtec International filed the following briefs, in opposition to appeals filed at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission against its proposed consolidated interim storage facility for irradiated nuclear fuel in New Mexico.

Holtec (with Pillsbury as legal counsel) attempted to rebut the appeals to the NRC Commissioners filed by:

Beyond Nuclear (with Diane Curran and Mindy Goldstein as legal counsel); Don't Waste Michigan et al. (a seven-group coalition, with Terry Lodge as legal counsel); Fasken Oil & Gas (with Bob Eye as legal counsel); and Sierra Club (with Wally Taylor as legal counsel).

Beyond Nuclear urges U.S. Senate opposition to S. 1234, the Nuclear Waste Administration Act, as well as S.___, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2019

Beyond Nuclear has communicated, on behalf of its members and supporters in all 50 states, with all 100 U.S. Senate offices, expressing our opposition to both S. 1234, "The Nuclear Waste Administration Act of 2019," as well as S._____, " The Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2019."

Among other outrages, both bills, if enacted, would authorize consolidated interim storage facilities, as currently targeted at NM and TX.

See Beyond Nuclear's detailed cover letter, here.

The packet also included the following attachments:

1.) Letter from NM governor to Energy Secretary ad NRC Chairman;

2.) TX governor's veto of radioactive waste rider;

3.) Statement of Principles for Safeguarding Nuclear Waste at Reactors (Hardened On-Site Storage Principles);

4.) National map showing road and rail routes in 44 states and the District of Columbia, en route to Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see this link for additional info. re: BARGE routes, on waterways in many states, implicated in the Yucca dump scheme, as well).

5.) Beyond Nuclear letter to the editor of the L.A. Times.
