| Don't Experiment With Nuke Waste Storage In Southern California |
Southern California Edison plans to upgrade to NUHOMS® 32PTH2
dry cask system to store their highly
radioactive nuclear waste.
This means storing 32 nuclear fuel assemblies in a space original designed for 24 fuel assemblies.. The higher number of fuel assemblies brings higher risk of radiation releases, especially for the hotter and more radioactive high burnup fuel. This is a brand new design that the NRC approved. However, the NRC is accepting public comments until May 15, 2014.
Submit comments at this Federal Register link. Refer to Docket ID NRC-2013-0271 in any correspondence to the NRC about this.

The NRC should not lower safety standards by approving this new canister.
