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

[Steven Dapra]

Sept. 23

         "P" or "N" could be decided by a majority vote of the 
residents within (perhaps) ten miles of the proposed site.  This is 
assuming that the geology and hydrology and general physical 
requirements of the proposed site were suitable, such as suitable 
roads, or the cooperation of the local taxpayers in financing 
construction of roads.  The same would go for a railhead.
