Nuclear Dump Opponents Rally

Nuclear Dump Opponents Rally - (AUSTIN) -- Plans to construct a 
low-level nuclear waste dump in west Texas are drawing protests 
as the U-S Senate gets ready to vote on the plan. U-S Senator 
Paul Wellstone of Minnesota led a demonstration on the steps of 
the state capitol by opponents of the plan. The Senate votes this 
week on a measure that would provide 55-Million dollars in federal 
funding for a dump to store radioactive waste from a nuclear plant 
serving Vermont and Maine. It would be built near the poor, mostly 
Mexican-American community of Sierra Blanca. Opponents say it's 
an example of environmental racism.
