Texas Residents Concerned with Plan to Store High-Level Waste in Andrews

摘要

Waste Control Specialists (WCS) is looking to store high-level nuclear waste in Andrews County. On December ninth, WCS in conjunction with Eddy-Lea Energy Alliance, hosted a meeting to present the plan before the Eunice City Council and over 40 city residents in attendance. Some residents are voicing their concern with bringing high-level radioactive waste to the area but officials say it will pose no danger. Andrews is currently used as an interim and disposal site to store and dispose of low-level radioactive waste but some residents are opposed to bringing high-level waste to the area because of the potential dangers that could result from this.
