Nuclear Waste plan attracts thousands of comments

Today’s Deseret News has an article on all the comments that have flooded the BLM’s office regarding the Private Fuel Storage (PFS) plan to store nuclear waste on the Goshute reservation. More than 7,000 comments were received.

The BLM’s public comment period ended May 8 on two competing proposals to get radioactive fuel from a rail line to the Goshute Indian reservation, where PFS wants to build the storage plant. The proposals are to build a railroad spur or to construct an intermodal facility where huge protective casks would be lifted from train cars and loaded onto trucks for the 26-mile drive to the reservation.

Go us! Keep up the pressure.
