Sample comments you can use to write your own for submission to NRC in opposition to Holtec's CISF in s.e. NM

SAMPLE COMMENTS you can use to prepare your own, for expressing opposition to the Holtec International/Eddy-Lea [Counties] Energy Alliance's proposal to "park" 173,600 metric tons of irradiated nuclear fuel in southeastern New Mexico, are posted at Beyond Nuclear's website.

Instructions for how to submit your comments are are viewable by clicking here.

The easiest comment submission mechanism is email: Holtec-CISFEIS Resource <Holtec-CISFEIS@nrc.gov>

Please include “Docket ID NRC–2018–0052” in your comment submission, such as in the subject line of your e-comments.

(Another convenient, efficient, way to submit comments is via Public Citizen's webform, here.

NIRS has also set up a quick and easy action page for submitting comments online, here.)

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has set the public comment deadline for July 30th. Please submit your comments by then. And please spread the word far and wide about this important action alert!

The scheme could result in a de facto permanent, surface storage, "parking lot" dump amidst Hispanic communities in the Texas/New Mexico borderlands. These communities are already badly polluted by toxic fossil fuel, and radioactive nuclear, industrial activities. This "nuclear sacrifice zone" environmental injustice, or radioactive racism, must be stopped!

If opened, the Holtec/ELEA centralized interim storage facility (CISF) would launch unprecedented thousands, or even tens of thousands, of highly radioactive waste shipments -- by truck, train, and/or barge, on roads, rails, and/or waterways, through most states -- over the course of several long decades.
