Comment Deadline for Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment
March 30, 2023 @ 8:00 am - April 14, 2023 @ 5:00 pm
The Department of Energy (DOE) opened public comment for the Bill Gates Molten Chloride Reactor Experimentdraft Environmental Assessment (EA).
Beatrice Brailsford and the OGs of Idaho Nuclear Activism.
Initially DOE gave the public only 14 days to obtain, read, and comment on the EA. The Snake River Alliance, our members, and allies requested DOE extend the public comment period. The day before the comments were due, DOE agreed to provide an additional 14 days.
Fuel to feed this molten chloride nuclear reactor experiment comes from highly enriched uranium feedstock DOE has at Idaho National Lab. The waste streams created stay in Idaho, and put workers and our sole-source freshwater aquifer at risk. No power goes to Idaho homes. Idaho is merely a testbed for Gates’ Wyoming Terrapower project. TerraPower is currently stalled, primarily because Russia is the main source of HALEU sanctions currently prohibit purchase.
