New Mexico Waiting on DOE Response to Interim Storage Concerns

摘要

The Department of Energy has yet to write New Mexico back after the state sent a letter opposing a proposed commercial interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel within its borders, the state’s senior senator said this week. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) told RadWaste Monitor after a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee meeting Thursday he and a coalition of New Mexico lawmakers haven’t “gotten anything official” from energy secretary Jennifer Granholm in response to their July 2 letter opposing the proposed Holtec International interim storage facility.
