some point, it should first make only the short move from the current fuel pools at reactors to dry
containers at the same reactor site. Other movement must be only from that site to a permanent
location for permanent isolation. A consolidated interim storage site would increase the risks of
accidents and security problems while guaranteeing increased exposure to ionizing radiation along
public-use highways, rails and waterways--even without an accident.
Further, the de-linking of an interim site from progress on a permanent solution found in both the
discussion draft and even more objectionably in the Feinstein/Alexander alternative would serve only to
delay permanent isolation of the waste from the environment and make it more likely that a temporary
and unsuitable site would become a de facto permanent nuclear waste dump. No state or community
should or would accept such an outcome--yet this proposed legislation would virtually ensure that.
I ask you to focus on public health, environmental protection and equity for the future rather than the
narrow interests of the nuclear power industry--which would be the only beneficiary of such a
thoughtless program. The best way to limit the scope of the radioactive waste problem is, of course, to
phase out the use of nuclear power and replace it with clean energy sources. But for the waste that
exists now, Hardened On-Site Storage and renewed work on finding a permanent solution is imperative.
Please scrap your "discussion draft" and start over.

Thank you for focusing on the radioactive waste problem. It should be of utmost priority. The nation's
high-level radioactive waste program is indisputably broken, but the Senate Energy Committee's"discussion draft" legislation would only exacerbate the problems.
Moving lethal high-level radioactive waste to a consolidated interim site would not fix any problems at
all, and is simply unacceptable. No one charged with protection of public health, safety and security
should mandate moving deadly radioactive waste repeatedly. While the waste will have to be moved at
some point, it should first make only the short move from the current fuel pools at reactors to dry
containers at the same reactor site. Other movement must be only from that site to a permanent

Further, the de-linking of an interim site from progress on a permanent solution found in both the
discussion draft and even more objectionably in the Feinstein/Alexander alternative would serve only to
delay permanent isolation of the waste from the environment and make it more likely that a temporary

should or would accept such an outcome--yet this proposed legislation would virtually ensure that.

phase out the use of nuclear power and replace it with clean energy sources. But for the waste that
exists now, Hardened On-Site Storage and renewed work on finding a permanent solution is imperative.

Thank you for focusing on the radioactive waste problem. It should be of utmost priority. The nation's
high-level radioactive waste program is indisputably broken, but the Senate Energy Committee's
"discussion draft" legislation would only exacerbate the problems.
Moving lethal high-level radioactive waste to a consolidated interim site would not fix any problems at
all, and is simply unacceptable. No one charged with protection of public health, safety and security
should mandate moving deadly radioactive waste repeatedly. While the waste will have to be moved at
some point, it should first make only the short move from the current fuel pools at reactors to dry
containers at the same reactor site. Other movement must be only from that site to a permanent
location for permanent isolation. A consolidated interim storage site would increase the risks of
accidents and security problems while guaranteeing increased exposure to ionizing radiation along
public-use highways, rails and waterways--even without an accident.

Subject:Radwaste discussion draft is unacceptable
Thank you for focusing on the radioactive waste problem. It should be of utmost priority. The nation's
high-level radioactive waste program is indisputably broken, but the Senate Energy Committee's
"discussion draft" legislation would only exacerbate the problems.
Moving lethal high-level radioactive waste to a consolidated interim site would not fix any problems at
all, and is simply unacceptable. No one charged with protection of public health, safety and security
should mandate moving deadly radioactive waste repeatedly. While the waste will have to be moved at
some point, it should first make only the short move from the current fuel pools at reactors to dry
containers at the same reactor site. Other movement must be only from that site to a permanent
location for permanent isolation. A consolidated interim storage site would increase the risks ofaccidents and security problems while guaranteeing increased exposure to ionizing radiation along
public-use highways, rails and waterways--even without an accident.
Further, the de-linking of an interim site from progress on a permanent solution found in both the
discussion draft and even more objectionably in the Feinstein/Alexander alternative would serve only to
delay permanent isolation of the waste from the environment and make it more likely that a temporary
and unsuitable site would become a de facto permanent nuclear waste dump. No state or community
should or would accept such an outcome--yet this proposed legislation would virtually ensure that.
I ask you to focus on public health, environmental protection and equity for the future rather than the
narrow interests of the nuclear power industry--which would be the only beneficiary of such a
thoughtless program. The best way to limit the scope of the radioactive waste problem is, of course, to
phase out the use of nuclear power and replace it with clean energy sources. But for the waste that
exists now, Hardened On-Site Storage and renewed work on finding a permanent solution is imperative.
Please scrap your "discussion draft" and start over.
Sincerely,

IT IS TIME TO STOP URANIUM MINING- STOP PRODUCING NUCLEAR WASTE, STOP NUCLEAR ENERGY-
STOP POISONING THE AIR LAND AND WATER---STOP -- WAKE UP - YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR OVER 50
YEARS BY THE HOPI AND OTHERS TO STOP !
STOP - WHAT WILL YOU TELL YOUR CHILDREN THAT YOU DID IN YOUR LIFE TO STOP THIS INSANITY !!!!
