BLUE RIBBON NUCLEAR WASTE COMMISSION FAILS TO CHART SAFE, PUBLICLY ACCEPTABLE NUCLEAR WASTE PLAN
Jan26Release Date:1-26-12The Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future report released today received mixed reviews from groups that monitor sites where large quantities of radioactive waste are stored. The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) and the Livermore, CA-based Tri-Valley CAREs, said major flaws in the report include the Commission’s failure to advocate prompt removal of commercial spent fuel from reactor cooling pools with placement in hardened On-Site Storage (HOSS) to safeguard commercial spent fuel at nuclear power plants. ANA and hundreds of community groups had told the Commission that HOSS could protect the heavily reactive material for the decades needed to develop a scientifically sound and publicly acceptable waste disposal program.
