USNEF Press Release, on the Heller, Reid. Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act.

For your review:

USNEF Press Release, on the Heller, Reid.  Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act.

USNEF also filed an FOIA request to the DOE for any and all emails, meetings, video teleconferences, teleconferences, and letters or other related communications between the DOE and DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency). This agency visited the Yucca Mountain facility recently and is conducting a dialogue on alternative uses for the Yucca Mountain facility.

We want to learn who has initiated this dialogue. If initiated by political sources who oppose the Yucca Mountain approved designated site for America’s spent nuclear waste, this would suggest a conflict of interest. Additionally, the DOE as mandated by law is currently required to complete the Yucca Mountain Application Study. Thus, any such dialogue supports a conflict of interest between these agencies and any political maneuvering.

Our governmental agencies and National Laboratories are established and designed to serve America’s public. Interagency and/or political management of these institutions does not SERVE or was intended by the public. Politics is for the oversight of “our agencies” NOT manipulation of them.
