NRC LICENSES ISP: Opponents redouble resistance to CISF

Texans protest against high-level radioactive waste dumping in the Lone Star State at its Capitol earlier this month.On September 13, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced it had approved licensing for Interim Storage Partners' (ISP) controversial consolidated interim storage facility (CISF) in Andrews County, West Texas, on the New Mexico border. The CISF would "temporarily store" up to 40,000 metric tons of highly radioactive waste, from atomic reactors across the U.S. But without a permanent geologic repository in sight for decades, "interim" risks becoming permanent surface storage, a parking lot dump. The long expected NRC approval notwithstanding, a new Texas law, and environmental coalition federal court challenges, including ours, will hopefully block ISP. See our press release, and widespread media coverage. We have opposed this dump since it was first proposed, and won't stop now!
