Savannah River Site Clean-up Panel in 16-0 Vote Renews Position Against Bringing Commercial Spent Fuel<strong to the Savannah River Site
SRS Citizens Advisory Board (SRS CAB) Continues to Stay Focused on SRS Clean-Up While DOE Chases German Nuclear Waste
It’s good to report that the Savannah River Site Citizens Advisory Board (SRS CAB), a duly embodied federal advisory panel to the US Department of Energy on SRS clean-up, has on July 22 unanimously renewed its “position paper” against bringing domestic commercial spent fuel to SRS for “interim storage.” The vote was in 16 to 0 in favor of renewing the position (which included a slight strengthening of language concerning the fact that SRS has never been studied for “indefinite” storage of spent fuel).

Congratulations to the members of the SRS CAB for letting DOE and special interests know of their concerns about SRS becoming an “indefinite” storage site for highly radioactive spent fuel.
