VT and NY seek more review of nuke waste storage - NEWS10 ABC: Albany, New York News, Weather, Sports
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Twenty-four anti-nuclear and environmental groups are joining the states of Vermont and New York in calling on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to do a more thorough study of the impacts of storing spent nuclear fuel on the grounds of nuclear power plants.
The groups range from the Vermont-based New England Coalition to Washington-based Beyond Nuclear to California's San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace.
The groups want a more thorough look at risks of fire and leakage at the expanding dry cask storage sites for highly radioactive nuclear waste at reactors around the country.
They want a moratorium on licensing and relicensing of reactors until the risks are resolved.
