[ RadSafe ] If they really want a SNF repository...

[Dan W McCarn]

Hi Jerry:

That was in Utah about 5 or 6 years ago: a Native American tribe had wanted
the income from a temporary storage facility for HL waste.  The 10th Circuit
Court of Appeals heard the case.  The State of Utah wanted to ask for an
exceedingly high fee to allow the temporary site to go forward, and sued to
allow that. Since Utah is not an Agreement State, the NRC was the
responsible licensing authority, and the 10th Circuit Court upheld the NRC's
right to handle licensing.

I don't have the docket number, but if you are interested, I could find it.

As I recall, some years ago there was a community in Utah (maybe Colorado)
that 
actively wanted a low-level radioactive waste site and actually campaigned
for 
it because of the economic benefits it would bring. However,
environmentalists 
and politicians from elsewhere swooped down on them and convinced them of
the 
error of there ways. I wouldn't be surprised if the same fate awaits the 
selected waste site in Canada .

I suspect that anyone who didn't want to live somewhere where they
didn't have to pay income tax could probably find a buyer for their
property.  In fact, I would predict that the construction of up-scale
homes in that county would take a rather large jump.  I would pay money
to watch "social justice" advocates decry poor people being displaced by
wealthy people who want to live near a nuclear waste dump.

And who would decide if we should have a "P" or an "N"?
