The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board was created by Congress in the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 to evaluate the technical and scientific validity of activities undertaken by the DOE in its program for managing the disposal of the nation's commercial spent nuclear fuel and defense high-level waste. In the same legislation, Congress directed the DOE to characterize a site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for its suitability as a potential location for a permanent repository for disposing of that waste.

Much of the waste temporarily buried at the Savannah River Site is slated to go there. Now, after 15 years and $6 billion worth of research, the Energy Department is about to report that proposed man-made caverns and tunnels deep inside Yucca Mountain may not be so safe after all. Its five-volume report, called a Viability Study and numbering thousands of pages, is only an interim report. A final report is due in 2001 when the Energy Department will submit its recommendations to the president. Among the doubts and reservations: * Water moves through the desert mountain faster than originally believed, posing the possibility that nuclear contamination could be carried to groundwater and thence spread over a vast area. * The peak releases of radioactivity will be so far in the future -- 200,000 years or more -- that the reliability of man-made, corrosion-resistant cannisters to contain the waste cannot be relied on. It is contemporary time that is running out for the Energy Department. It was supposed to start accepting nuclear waste from the nuclear power industry last February. Yet it is easy to see how confounding site selection can be. Yucca Mountain has been at the top of every government agency's list of storage sites since the U.S. Geological Survey identified it as a likely candidate in 1976. It is isolated, already on government property and annual rainfall is only six inches. But the quest for scientific certainty about safety has lengthened every time a preliminary report has been issued. In the 1980s, the Environmental Protection Agency set the maximum containment period for radioactive waste at 10,000 years. Scientists later found that the most intensely radioactive wastes, such as cesium and strontium, will have decayed in 10,000 years, but plutonium and other man-made elements will endure for at least 200,000 years. And even those figures depend on projections that are only mathematically provable, not scientifically certain. Anticipating the final report on Yucca Mountain, due out in 2001, Energy Secretary William B. Richardson said that predictions would be stated in probabilities. "That's all one can offer," he said. "I don't think in science one can offer certainty." That change in viewpoint makes the selection of Yucca Mountain more likely in 2001. The sooner that spent fuel rods buried at SRS are dug up and hauled to Nevada, the better .. - --------------------- 2. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1998-12/19/118l-121998-idx.html U.S. Orders Research On Atomic Waste Site Nevada Facility Closer to Approval By Joby Warrick Washington Post Staff Writers Saturday, December 19, 1998; Page A09 Finding "no show-stoppers" that could scuttle the project, the Clinton administration yesterday moved closer to approving Nevada's Yucca Mountain as the first permanent repository for the nation's most dangerous forms of nuclear waste. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson released a five-volume "viability assessment" that commits the government to continued research on the proposed $19 billion dump, to be built beneath a desert ridge 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. A decision on the controversial site could come as early as 2001. After 15 years of study, agency officials described the project as "promising" but said key issues remain unresolved. Among them is the question of whether the mountain's cracks and faults could release radiation within the 10,000-year lifespan of the dump. "Our pledge is to do a serious, objective study," said Energy Undersecretary Ernest Moniz, the agency's top scientist. "We are committed to addressing the issue of nuclear waste in a way that, to the best of our scientific knowledge, protects human health now and in the future." The Yucca Mountain repository is strongly opposed by Nevada state officials and by many environmentalists, some of whom criticized yesterday's decision to allow the project to go forward. Last month, 219 environmental groups urged the Department of Energy (DOE) to abandon the site on grounds that it poses unacceptable risks to future generations. "It would be outrageous for DOE to make the decision to go forward with more work at Yucca Mountain when the evidence in their own study -- a leaky mountain, leaky containers, and earthquakes -- disqualify the site," said Ann Mesnikoff of the Sierra Club. If built, the repository would house 77,000 tons of spent reactor fuel and other highly radioactive material from military reactors and commercial nuclear power plants. Current plans call for a maze of underground chambers where wastes would be stored in corrosion-resistant canisters. The total future cost of the project, including transportation and long-term maintenance, is estimated at $36 billion. Several recent studies have questioned whether Yucca Mountain's geological features could compromise its ability to isolate the highly radioactive waste in the future. Moniz said government scientists disagree with the studies' conclusions but would assign top priority to resolving all the issues raised. "We don't want to hide from these problems," he said. Most of the waste destined for Yucca Mountain is temporarily stored at more than 100 private and government sites around the country, despite a government promise to begin accepting the material by January of this year. Because the repository would not open until 2010 at the earliest, the nuclear industry and its congressional supporters are pressing the administration to open an interim storage site in the nearby desert. Industry officials have sued the Clinton administration over the delay, and yesterday they urged the Congress to pass legislation creating an interim dump. "The viability assessment is now out. It's positive," said Joe F. Colvin, president of the Nuclear Energy Institute, a Washington-based trade group. "Congress now needs to enact the comprehensive legislation that was supported by overwhelming majorities in both houses of the 105th Congress." - --------------------- 3. http://cnn.com/US/9812/18/environment.nuclear.reut/ U.S.: Nevada desert is promising site for nuke waste December 18, 1998 CNN WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Energy said Friday that Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert was a "promising" site for becoming the nation's permanent nuclear waste repository, pending more research on its safety. By calling it "promising," the agency rejected pleas from environmental groups to disqualify Yucca Mountain. Those groups have cited research showing that groundwater could be contaminated by radioactive waste during the thousands of years the nuclear fuel would remain highly radioactive. DOE released its first detailed analysis on the potential waste site in a long-awaited viability assessment. The agency said that if it were eventually approved, the site would cost some $19 billion to build and monitor. "DOE believes that Yucca Mountain remains a promising site for a geologic repository and that work should proceed to support a decision in 2001 on whether to recommend the site to the president for development as a repository," the DOE said. For the site to be recommended, the agency said it must still demonstrate that a repository can be designed and built at Yucca Mountain that would protect the public and the environment. The waste site would become the home for some 70,000 metric tons of spent radioactive fuel rods from nuclear power plants, and additional waste from production of nuclear weapons. Currently, around 38,000 tons of spent fuel is being stored at more than 70 commercial nuclear power plants across the country, pending the resolution of a dispute over when the federal government must remove the waste for storage. DOE said uncertainties remained about key natural processes in the Yucca Mountain region, and over preliminary design plans. To address the outstanding questions, the agency said environmental impact assessments would be conducted in the next two years before the final recommendation in 2001. The report said the advantages of making Yucca Mountain the repository site included: - -Location. The mountain lies 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas on unpopulated land owned by the federal government and adjacent to the Nevada Test Site, the longtime home for more than 900 nuclear weapons tests; - -Lack of water. DOE said water is the main way radioactive elements are transported from a repository, and noted that Yucca Mountain is in a desert, with an average rainfall of 7 inches; - -Groundwater. The nearest groundwater is isolated in a closed basis and does not flow into any any rivers that reach the ocean. The DOE said the natural geology and the preliminary repository design can keep water away from the waste for thousands of years. Using mathematical models, the agency said that for 10,000 years after the repository is closed in around the year 2045, people living near Yucca Mountain are expected to receive little or no increase in radiation exposure. The maximum radiation exposure was expected to occur after 300,000 years, the report said. DOE said the preparation of environmental impact statements in 1999 and 2000 would cost around $1.1 billion, and if approved, the construction and placement of waste would cost around another $18.7 billion in constant 1998 dollars. The first waste would be emplaced in 2010 and the last waste in 2033, and the site closed 10 years after the last waste is laid to rest. DOE said the total cost to complete the program, including transportation of waste and storage would cost around $36.6 billion. The number does not include the $5.9 billion that has spent on the program thus far. - --------------------- 4. http://ens.lycos.com/ens/dec98/1998L-12-15-09.html AmeriScan: December 15, 1998 DOE SETTLES WITH 39 GROUPS ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS OVERSIGHT To settle a lawsuit brought by 39 environmental and peace organizations, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has signed an agreement which will increase public oversight of contamination problems in the nation's nuclear weapons complex. The settlement, delivered to Federal District Court Judge Stanley Sporkin in Washington, DC Monday, ends nine years of litigation charging that DOE failed to develop its "cleanup" plans properly. "From the perspective of protecting the nation's water, air and land, this settlement is superior to the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement DOE originally agreed to prepare," said David Adelman, a Natural Resources Defense Council lawyer who represented the plaintiffs. A key part of the settlement is a new $6.25 million fund for non-profit groups and tribes to use in monitoring DOE environmental activities and conducting technical reviews of the agency's performance. A publicly accessible database will be created about contaminated facilities and waste generated or controlled by DOE's cleanup, defense, science and nuclear energy programs, including domestic and foreign research reactor spent fuel. Characteristics such as waste type, volume, and radioactivity, as well as transfer and disposition plans will be listed. * * * U.S. GROUPS JOIN EUROPEAN PROTEST AGAINST UKRAINIAN REACTORS More than 80 environmental and consumer organizations Monday sent a letter to President Bill Clinton and to the U.S. representative at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) urging them to stop funding for Ukraine's proposed K2/R4 atomic reactors. 67 of the groups were from the United States. The letter was part of an international day of protest against what the groups say is an "unnecessary and dangerous project." Demonstrations took place in 30 European cities Monday, the end of a controversial "public consultation" period intended by the EBRD to solicit public comment on its participation in the project. The Clinton administration has supported construction of the new reactors as the price to pay for a permanent shutdown of the two remaining operable Chernobyl atomic reactors. But environmentalists and critics in Europe, and now the United States, point out safety shortcomings in these Soviet-designed reactors. - ---------------------------- 5. http://ens.lycos.com/ens/dec98/1998L-12-18-09.html AmeriScan: December 18, 1998 DOE REMOVES 18 TANKS FROM HANFORD DANGER LIST After years of extensive technical work, which included sampling and laboratory analysis of the waste from over 110 tanks, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has closed the safety issue associated with potentially explosive organic compounds in single-shell waste tanks, one of several safety issues associated with these tanks at Hanford. The DOE will remove 18 tanks from the site's organics waste tank watch list of potentially dangerous tanks. 28 of the 54 original tanks DOE placed on Hanford's tank waste watch lists will remain on the watch lists. Eight of the single-shell tanks removed from the organic complexant watch list will remain on Hanford's tank waste watch list for flammable gas - hydrogen. Hanford was established during the World War II as part of the secret Manhattan Project to produce plutonium for the United States' nuclear weapons. Weapons material production stopped in the late 1980s, and the site is now engaged in the world's largest environmental cleanup effort to deal with the legacy of radioactive and hazardous wastes that resulted from the plutonium production era. * * * FOUR VIRGINIA HOSPITALS RECEIVE RADIOACTIVE CONTAINERS An explosion at the Blue Ridge Nuclear Pharmacy in Roanoak, Virginia Thursday resulted in metal containers contaminated with radioactivity being sent to four regional hospitals. While a pharmacist was heating three 6-milliliter vials of liquid Tc99m cadiolite in a lead heating block at 100 degrees Centigrade, one of the vials exploded for unknown reasons contaminating the entire laboratory. "The pharmacist was not injured. He cleaned up and decontaminated the laboratory, its contents and the radiopharmaceutical metal delivery containers present in the lab," the pharmacy reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Still, later in the day four hospitals notified Blue Ridge that metal delivery containers received from Blue Ridge that morning had "removable contamination in excess of acceptable limits." The hospitals are Carilion Roanoke Memorial, Carilion Community, Radford, and Allegany Regional. Blue Ridge will retrieve and further decontaminate the containers. _______________________________________________________________________ * NucNews - to subscribe: prop1@prop1.org - http://prop1.org * Please forward -- help educate! _______________________________________________________________________ - - To unsubscribe to abolition-usa, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe abolition-usa" in the body of the message.

Feel free to distribute this newsletter to others. In addition, please let us know of other U.S. organizations, businesses, or government agencies that would like to be added to the e-mail list for this publication. This newsletter is presently sent to over 550 recipients nationwide. FEDERAL ENERGY BUDGET AND TAXES 1.) Sustainable Energy Coalition/FY'00 Budget: In a 2-page letter delivered to President Clinton on December 16, eighteen member groups of the Sustainable Energy Coalition urged the White House "to submit a budget for FY'2000 that will accelerate the pace of research, development, and deployment of sustainable energy technologies to the level charted by you in the 1998 State of the Union message." The signers noted that they "are concerned by reports that the proposed FY'2000 request for the U.S. Department of Energy's energy efficiency and renewable energy programs standards at a level that is less than the Administration's request for these programs for FY'1999." The Administration's FY'99 request for DOE's energy efficiency and renewable energy programs totaled $1.16 billion. There are reports that the FY'00 request is at least $40 million less. The Sustainable Energy Coalition has proposed a budget of $1.4 billion. The letter also noted that "coal, oil, and nuclear energy are now increasingly recognized as costly anachronisms" and, "in a budget full of tough choices," urged the President to phase them out. Let us know if you would like us to fax or e-mail you a copy of the letter. 2.) Senator Bingaman/Oil Funding: In a 4-page December 17 news release, Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) provided the text of a bi-partisan letter to President Clinton opposing proposed cuts in petroleum-related R&D. The letter states, in part: "We are ... disturbed by press reports that, in the midst of the current crisis facing the [domestic oil production] industry, the Office of Management and Budget has unilaterally decided to cut funding for petroleum-related R&D programs in your fiscal year (FY) 2000 budget. We strongly urge maintaining funding for these vital programs at least at their current levels." Bingaman is a co-chair of the Alliance to Save Energy as well as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Energy Committee. Let us know if you would like us to fax you a copy of the release. 3.) Polluter Tax Breaks: Friends of the Earth reports that new information released by the non-partisan Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation shows that tax breaks for polluting industries are estimated to grow to $17.8 billion over the next five years. The report, "Estimates of Federal Tax Expenditures for Fiscal Years 1999-2003" notes that the oil and gas industries will receive tax breaks totaling close to $11 billion with $2.4 billion for the Percentage Depletion Allowance, $0.3 billion for Enhanced Oil Recovery, $2.2 billion for Intangible Drilling Costs, and $6.2 billion for Nonconventional Fuel Production Credit. The report can be viewed at . 4.) Sustainable Energy Coalition/Climate Change Tax Package: Various members of the Sustainable Energy Coalition are putting forth ideas for the Administration's climate change tax package. Regarding transportation, some are proposing that the current electric vehicle credit (10% of purchase price up to $4,000) which will expire shortly, be extended to 2008 and cover electric and fuel-cell vehicles as well as hybrids that meet California's LEV-2 emission standards and are at least 1.5 times as efficient as the class average. Regarding biomass, the current "closed loop" incentive should be extended and broadened to include some form of "open loop" systems and possibly allocate available monies on an auction basis. Regarding housing, a credit capped at $2,000 should be offered to either builders or buyers of either new and existing buildings against 20% of the cost of building upgrades that yield efficiency savings of 30% or more. ELECTRIC UTILITY RESTRUCTURING 1.) Another Nuke Shutdown?: The December 10 "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" reports that Illinova, Inc. is preparing to sell or permanently shut down its 950-MW Clinton nuclear power plant located near Clinton, Illinois resulting in a loss the company claims may top $1.5 billion. Reportedly, PECO Energy Co. and Entergy Corp. are potential buyers for the facility which has a book value of $1.6 billion. Clinton shut down in September 1996 because of mechanical problems that Illinova estimates would cost $210 million to repair. If sold, the plant's sales price would likely be less than $80 million. 2.) Solar Electricity Plant: A December 10 news release from Sun Power Electric reports that solar power began flowing from the first generation facility to produce all its power from solar energy for sale in the competitive market. Thus far, Sun Power has completed installation of 60 of the 156 photovoltaic panels at Station #1, which are located on the roof of the BJ's Wholesale Club in North Dartmouth. The entire system is expected to generate 60,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting the needs of 10 average homes for 20 years. Sun Power sells this solar power to AllEnergy as part of its "green" electricity product "Re- Gen." Station#1 was partially funded by a grant from DOE's Utility Photovoltaic Group TEAM-UP program. For further info, call 508-359-0155. 3.) Congressional Committee Assignments: House Commerce Chairman Bliley has named Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) as chairman of the House Energy & Power Subcommittee (which will handle electric utility restructuring legislation in the 106th Congress), according to Barton's office. Also, Rick Kessler (former personal staff of Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and lobbyist for Princeton) will be joining the minority staff of Commerce Committee, handling mostly Energy and Power subcommittee issues. In addition we have received the following information about Democratic assignments to the full House committees. There is still no subcommittee or lesser committee information available. No freshmen were assigned to these three major committees. Appropriations (gained 1 seat): left committee--Yates (IL), Stokes (OH), Fazio (CA), Skaggs (CO), Torres (CA); joined committee-- Clyburn (SC), Hinchey (NY), Royball-Allard (CA), Farr (CA), Jesse Jackson, Jr. (IL), Kilpatrick (MI), Boyd (FL) Commerce (gained 1 seat): left committee--Manton (NY), Furse (OR); joined committee--Barrett (WI), Luther (MN), Capps (CA) Ways and Means: left committee--Kennelly (CT); joined committee--Doggett (TX) 4.) Kucinich Restructuring Bill: We have received a 20-page section of the "Electricity Consumer, Worker, and Environmental Protection Act of 1998 (H.R.4798) introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH). The section details the bill's provisions for a Public Benefits Fund, net metering, and a Renewable Portfolio Standard. Let us know if you would like us to fax you a copy. CLIMATE CHANGE 1.) 1998 Warmest: The December 18 "Washington Post" reports that the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says that the earth's global temperature in 1998 will be the highest since 1860. In its "Annual Statement on Global Climate," WMO notes that the global mean surface temperature is estimated to be 0.58 degrees Centigrade above the recent long-term average based on the period 1961-1990. It also noted that the 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1983, with seven of them since 1990. In addition, from the surface to seven kilometers altitude, record temperatures in 1998 were 0.47 degrees higher than the average of the last 20 years, making 1998 by far the warmest year. 2.) Republicans/Climate Change: A December 18 "Inside EPA" article reports that Senate Republicans, including Senators Frank Murkowski (R-AK) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE), are considering offering legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through increased reliance on hydropower, nuclear power, and other "clean" technologies as an alternative to the Administration's commitment to the Kyoto Protocol. Such legislation might include easing the relicensing procedures from hydropower dams and nuclear power plants, and increasing research and tax incentives for a new generation of ultra-clean fossil fuel technologies. Republicans are apparently beginning to conclude they need to have an action agenda on climate change that goes beyond simply opposing the Kyoto Protocol. MISCELLANEOUS 1.) New Jersey Energy-Saving Homes: The December 10 "Newark Star-Ledger" reports that the State of New Jersey has agreed to offer up to $10 million in low-interest loans and tax credits to developers building energy-efficient homes as part of its Sustainable Development/Affordable Housing Pilot Project. Residents of these energy- efficient homes, which must be 30% more efficient than traditional homes, can expect to save an average of $30-$35 per month on their combined heating, cooling, and water heater bills. If the program meets its goal of developing 100 energy-efficient homes, it would result in the homeowners saving enough on their energy bills to pump $2-$4 million back into the economy. 2.) Nuclear Waste/Viability Assessment: More than 100 organizations signed on to a 3-page news release issued December 18 by Public Citizen and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service. It coincided with the release of the Department of Energy's Viability Assessment (VA) of Yucca Mountain's suitability as high-level nuclear waste repository. The statement charged that the VA snubs necessary public involvement; nonetheless, scientific data in the VA confirms that the site should be disqualified. Let us know if you would like us to fax you a copy of the release. 3.) Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy Executive Order: We have received an updated 11-page version of the Administration's draft executive order to mandate expanded use of efficiency and renewables by federal agencies. Members of the Sustainable Energy Coalition are presently drafting comments that will recommend that the executive order direct federal facilities to reduce carbon emissions by 20% by 2010, curb energy use by 30% by 2005, and meet 10% of electricity needs with solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and small hydro (i.e., less than 30 MW) sources by 2005. In addition, we have received a 2-page memo sent to the White House by the Alliance to Save Energy outlining several recommendations including carbon targets and removal of numerous loopholes. Let us know if you would like us to fax you a copy of either document. 4.) Expanding Photovoltaic Markets: The Renewable Energy Policy Project has released a new 20-page study "Expanding Markets for Photovoltaics: What To Do Next" which provides a "ten-point package of recommendations" including aggressive government procurement of PV, a multi-year PV communications plan, legislation to facilitate the deployment of distributed PV systems, and integration of PV's into the overall development strategy of developing countries. The full report should be available at . 5.) EPA/Solar Web Page: The U.S. EPA has announced the creation of "a new webpage on the environmental benefits of solar energy, including the ways in which air pollution can be curtailed by the use of solar power as an energy source." The new webpage can be reached through and is found by clicking "Pollution Prevention Calculator" under Pollution Prevention Benefits of Renewable Energy. 6.) Correction: A recent "Weekly Update" reported that a ribbon cutting ceremony marked the beginning of construction of the Vansycle Ridge Wind Farm in Oregon. In fact, the ceremony marked the beginning of the windfarm generating electricity. 7.) Happy Holidays: The "Weekly Update" will not be published on December 27. ## END ## - - To unsubscribe to abolition-usa, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe abolition-usa" in the body of the message.

I suspect that one reason the U.S. is reluctant to end the sanctions against Iraq is the fear that the U.S. will never be able to get the sanctions restored if Iraq misbehaves in a major way. To solve that problem, I propose that the sanctions be suspended for 30 days to test Iraq's willingness to cooperate with UN inspectors, with the provision that the UN Security Council would have to vote after 30 days to extend the suspension. This would ease the plight of the Iraqi people, give Iraq reason to cooperate, and preserve the option of restoring the sanctions if Iraq doesn't cooperate, so as to discourage Iraq from obstructing UN inspections again. I bet that the U.S. would be more willing to lift the sanctions if there was a provision for automatically reimposing the sanctions if Iraq misbehaves. - - To unsubscribe to abolition-usa, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe abolition-usa" in the body of the message.
