[Sustain] HR 3053-National Nuclear Waste Policy Act revision- moves to Senate
Dear Everyone- The unthinkable happened on May 10th when House of Representatives passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act revision, HR 3015. Among other egregious things this bill would do is to privatize High Level Nuclear Waste storage: "This title also authorizes DOE to enter into an agreement with a non-Federal entity for the purposes of storing SNF (spent nuclear fuel) to which the Department holds title." (from bill Purpose and Summary) The bill also calls for forcing nuclear waste storage- at least interim- at Yucca Mountain. read the bill here: https://www.congress.gov/115/crpt/hrpt355/CRPT-115hrpt355-pt1.pdf At this writing it has not been issued a Senate Bill number yet. It will most likely go to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee for debate and amendment. They can be contacted through https://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/home No telling if and when it will come to a floor vote, although I would think they'll try for sooner than later. Contact your senator early and often. https://www.senate.gov/reference/common/faq/How_to_correspond_senators.htm Until it can be moved to one permanent location it is highly stupid to be moving this stuff around very much given the potential devastation of an accident or worse. Please do what you can to stop the stupids.
