While our legislators are debating over clubs in schools, dictating what is to be taught by public school teachers (e.g., evolution vs. intelligent design), making decisions to build more roads (instead of putting the money towards better mass transportation), creating a tax structure that will benefit only the most wealthy of Utahns, and deciding to permit Envirocare to expand its toxic waste faciltiy to accept yet more toxic waste (against the outcry of citizens), Private Fuel Storage is edging its way closer to being able to open a facility in Utah’s west desert.
Despite snags in its efforts to have a facility on the Goshute reservation to store spent nuclear fuel rods, Private Fuel Storage (PFS) is moving forward with obtaining its license.
PFS has obtained a draft license that could become final by the end of this month, according to a Deseret News article today.
This is going to be huge. The state is against it. The citizens oppose this. Stay tuned for updates on actions by various groups to stop PFS.
