New nuclear is too expensive and renewable energy as well as energy storage make it so new nuclear plants are not needed. This is what NEIS has been saying for years! We would add that old existing nuclear plants do not need subsidies or bailouts and they can be decommissioned as companies determine they are no longer profitable. The world is moving past nuclear power to safer and cheaper renewable energy. Let's get there without one more nuclear accident or disaster. ... See MoreSee Less

Holtec International has a controversial plan to store up to 100,000 tons of the nation’s most dangerous nuclear reactor waste for as long as 120 years at a site between Hobbs and Carlsbad in New Mexico.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will accept public comments through May 29 and hold public meetings in Roswell, Hobbs and Carlsbad. In response, community members are touring Albuquerque, Roswell, Carlsbad, Hobbs, Artesia, Gallup, Santa Fe, and other areas along the rail route through which waste could be shipped to call attention to the issue and urge residents to attend NRC's scheduled public meetings and to submit written comments.

The waste would consist of fuel rods that have been inside more than 100 nuclear reactors across America. This waste, known as "High Level Radioactive Waste" still contains most of the original uranium, along with plutonium, cesium and strontium. Exposure to unshielded fuel rods is lethal. If this site is approved, there could be more than than 10,000 train cars of this dangerous radioactive waste, through or near major cities in New Mexico.
