Waste Transportation

The transportation of radioactive waste already occurs, but will become frequent on our rails, roads and waterways, should irradiated reactor fuel be moved to interim or permanent dump sites.

US regulators take public comments on nuclear fuel plan

As reported by AP.

Please note that Jack Edlow's claim in the article, that states must first "consent" to high-level radioactive waste shipments, before they pass through, is false. When pressed, the other side -- including the U.S. DOE -- typically invokes the Interstate Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, to say no consent is required, to haul high-level radioactive waste through a community, county, state, or Native American reservation.

In fact, when Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps asked about transport corridor consent, DOE's John Kotek did just that -- explicitly invoked the Interstate Commerce Clause -- at the "kick off" meeting for "consent-based siting" public comment in DC in Dec. 2015.

Edlow looks to ultimately make hundreds of millions of dollars, or more, as an irradiated nuclear fuel transport middleman, on the CISFs, hence his false propaganda. He's been at it for many decades, and his father before him.
