In response to a request by SRS Watch and other public interest groups, the comment period for a plan to dump 10,000 gallons of SRS high-level waste as low-level waste has been extended.
DOE email of Dec. 23, 2019: “In response to requests from reviewers, DOE is extending the public comment period from the original due date of January 9, 2020 to February 10, 2020. DOE will publish a Federal Register Notice announcing this, but processing of the FRN is not likely to occur until the new year.”
“DOE has notified the entities requesting the extension and posted an announcement regarding this extension on its High-Level Radioactive Waste (HLW) Interpretation webpage at https://www.energy.gov/em/program-scope/high-level-radioactive-waste-hlw-interpretation.”
