THIS
IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, take notice that the rest of the country is
taking part in nuclear repository educational meetings but they are mute in Nevada . . . Why, Think about that? Do you have an inquiring mind and want to know the FACTS?
The June 2013 Issue of ECA (Energy Community Alliance a DOE Publication):
In June, representatives from 15 energy communities,
states the nuclear industry, U.S. Department of Energy, national
laboratories, the Shoshone-Bannock tribe and economic development
entities met to discuss the role for local communities in advancing new nuclear waste storage and disposal plans. Participants at ECA's Shaping a Nuclear Future Peer Exchange, held in Idaho Falls, ID, with support from DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy,
focused on defining a consent-based process for siting nuclear
facilities, and identifying what communities need as potential hosts.
*
Energy communities support a consent-based process for siting and
several communities are interested in potentially hosting interim
storage facilities.
*
Potential host communities need resources to begin public education
campaigns now on nuclear energy and waste issues in order to achieve
consent for future nuclear storage and disposal facilities.
* Local governments should identify the kinds of incentives they want to include in a consent agreement.
* Local governments must have oversight and be represented on any oversight board that is established in new legislation.
* To the extent possible, political factors must be limited in a consent-based siting process and balanced with scientific factors.
At the outset of the meeting, Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy, Dr. Pete Lyons, joined meeting participants in an interactive discussion of community priorities and the implementation of DOE's nuclear waste management strategy.
We
have teamed up with two other organizations to produce a FACTUAL
educational program in November the "Yucca Educational Symposium" YES,
"Yucca is not as Yucca as you have been told". It's time to learn
a factual presentation about Yucca from the scientists vs. the
bureaucrats.
CURRENT HEADLINES:
COURT GRANTS PETITION TO COMPLETE NRC'S YUCCA LICENSING PROCESS
YES WE CAN DISPOSE OF NUCLEAR WASTE
NRC SEEKS INPUT ON RESUMPTION OF YUCCA LICENSING REVIEW
The TRUTH is Yucca is not as Yucca as you have been told!
A vital read:
The Administration's Blue Ribbon Commission by its very charter did not examine the suitability of Yucca Mountain as a permanent repository-is estimated at $5,600,000,000 over the next ten years. . . . A committee is making it clear that any activities funded from the Nuclear Waste Fund must be in support of Yucca Mountain and no other purpose.
Another recommendation provides
$25,000,000 to support the Yucca Mountain Repository including bill
language allowing fund appropriations to the NRC in support of Yucca
Mountain. The recommendation also expresses support to local communities who have formally consented to host and support Yucca. This includes Nye County, the county that encompasses the Yucca Mountain area, has given its formal consent to host Yucca Mountain, yet the Administration blithely ignores this consent. The Administration's Blue Ribbon Commission . . . did not examine the suitability of Yucca Mountain nor review its official application.
YES Symposium Will
have congressional representation, scientists, engineers and
stakeholders from around the country. Our Breakout sessions will include
an overview of the "Nuclear Waste Policy Act", "Economic
Assessment of Used Nuclear Fuel Management in the United States". "How
an educational program can transform public opinion", "The economic
impact to the grassroots public", The symposium will provide a
viable economic perspective for Yucca Mountain inclusive of a
reprocessing facility. Events such as this symposium have not been
exposed to Nevada's public and our citizens are the element required for "community acceptance" Our mission is to correct this factor.
"YES" will provide more detail for the BUSINESS COMMUNITY
We are in dire need for
funding assistance for this program. PLEASE contribute slightly more
than watching with interest and mail a donation to USNEF PO Box 2867,
Sparks, Nevada, 89432-2867 or online at our website via credit card or PayPal.

Until our next visit, thanks for being there!
