Jul 27, 2010
Utah’s decades-long fight to stop the nation’s spent nuclear fuel from being stored in Utah--once thought to be definitively won in 2006--just hit a major setback. The story’s in today’s Salt Lake Tribune, but we wanted to give you some more of the back story, and the practical realties of what this setback means, since HEAL Utah was at the forefront of the fight to stop this proposal (called ‘Private Fuel Storage’ or ‘PFS’). Promises, promises

Now, don’t get us wrong, we appreciate and applaud EnergySolutions’ announcement that the company will no longer seek to bring foreign nuclear waste to Utah, and instead will help other countries manage their nuclear waste over there, where it was created. This sounds like a more responsible business plan to us and we hope it works out for them. (Really, we do.) Delivering a Dose of Truth (Not Radiation) Using Social Media

We need some Andre the Giant to Go With our Dread Pirate Roberts
Nov 19, 2009
We need a little more Andre the Giant to go with our Dread Pirate Roberts in Utah’s clean air, energy, water, and land effort.

So last night the lawyers hired by EnergySolutions squared off against the Radiation Control Board and the public. While it remains to be seen whether Utah will be protected from EnergySolutions' appetite for waste, the board's action is encouraging. Want to catch up on how it went down? First visit our twitter page to review the minute by minute updates posted live from the meeting (if you don't follow us on twitter now is a good time to fix that). |
