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. \nFuel 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. \nLearn more and read the EA HERE! Comments are due April 14th.

HALEU? Virtual Scoping Meetings Announced DESCRIPTION:The DOE has issued a notice of intent for a High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) Availability Program by launching the scoping process for an environmental impact statement. \nEnriching uranium to make HALEU poses serious nuclear weapons proliferation risks and puts us in danger. The fuel would be enriched to bomb grade or near bomb grade—20% uranium 235\, supposedly for nuclear power\, but easily shifted to weapons \nThere will be three virtual meetings on June 21st\, at 6pm\, 8pm\, and 10pm ET (4pm\, 6pm\, 8pm MT) . Register HERE. \nDOE will “provide information on the NEPA process and proposed action\, gather oral comments on the scope of the draft EIS\, and enhance opportunities for public participation.” \nFrom the Notice of Intent… \nThe development of a commercial HALEU fuel cycle would involve: (1) uranium ore production ( e.g.\, in situ-recovery)\, (2) conversion of the uranium ore into enrichment feed (converting the uranium ore into hexafluoride suitable for enrichment)\, (3) enrichment to HALEU (in particular\, HALEU enriched to at least 19.75 and less than 20 weight percent U–235)\, (4) deconversion (conversion of the uranium hexafluoride into forms suitable for fuel fabrication)\, (5) transportation services for HALEU ( e.g.\, from the enrichment site to the deconversion site)\, and (6) storage capability. The EIS will evaluate implementation of the Proposed Action of facilitating the commercialization of HALEU production and DOE’s acquisition of HALEU\, including the direct and reasonably foreseeable indirect effects of that acquisition.

If a temporary storage facility is opened in New Mexico\, how will all the nation’s commercial nuclear reactors send their waste? After the East Palestine derailment disaster\, could a similar accident occur with a nuclear waste shipment? We have a lot of questions. Join us if you do too. \nThe Nuclear Fuel Chain lectures seek to expose the environmental injustices\, costs\, and dangers in each link along the nuclear fuel chain. Nuclear energy is not carbon-free; it’s a false solution. We’ll explore all the links in the fuel chain and how each endangers our water\, land\, and bodies. \nKevin Kamps \nKevin Kamps works with Beyond Nuclear and lives in Takoma Park\, Maryland. He has extensive knowledge about radioactive waste generation and storage risks at reactor sites and transportation through communities across the country. Before Beyond Nuclear\, Kevin was the Radioactive waste specialist for Nuclear Information and Resource Service. Kevin has traveled to Chernobyl in Ukraine and founded a Michigan chapter of the international Chernobyl Children’s Project\, which brings child victims of the Chernobyl accident to the United States for medical help. He has also worked with radiation victims in the U.S. and Canada\, including those living near uranium mines and downwind from the Nevada Nuclear Weapons Test Site. \nRegister for the virtual webinar here and bring your questions!

The Board’s objectives for the workshop are to obtain information that may be applicable to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) efforts to develop one or more federal  interim storage facilities for commercial spent nuclear fuel\, using a consent-based siting process and to enhance the Board’s evaluation of the scientific and technical validity of DOE’s activities. \nThe workshop will be held in conjunction with the Board’s Summer Meeting\, which will be held on Wednesday\, August 30\, 2023. The Board will issue a separate press release on that public meeting. \nThe hybrid (in-person/virtual) workshop will begin at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) and is scheduled to adjourn at approximately 5:00 p.m. MDT. The Board workshop will be held at Snake River Event Center\, 780 Lindsay Blvd\, Idaho Falls\, ID 83402\, which is located at the Shilo Inns Idaho Falls. The event center telephone number is (208) 497-0611 and the hotel telephone number is (208) 523-0088. Details for joining and viewing the workshop will be available on the Board’s website approximately one week before the workshop. \nThe workshop will include introductory comments by the Board and DOE. Planned presentations include descriptions of the siting experiences regarding geologic repositories and a monitored retrievable storage facility in the United States and geologic repositories in Canada\, Switzerland\, and Sweden. These presentations will be followed by a facilitated panel discussion. DOE will describe how it is incorporating best practices and lessons learned from international and domestic siting efforts\, and from environmental justice efforts in its consent- based siting activities. The workshop will close with a facilitated panel discussion on all the workshop topics. \nAfter the workshop is adjourned there will be an open house to enable discussions among all participants and attendees. \nSnake River URL:https://snakeriveralliance.org/event/international-workshop-on-siting-of-radioactive-waste-facilities/ LOCATION:Snake River Event Center\, 780 Lindsay Blvd\, Idaho Falls\, ID\, 83402\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20230830T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20230830T160000 DTSTAMP:20260414T151441 CREATED:20230802T234215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230803T011843Z UID:10000053-1693382400-1693411200@snakeriveralliance.org SUMMARY:Summer 2023 Board Meeting: Consent-Based Siting DESCRIPTION:Topic: The meeting will focus on U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) efforts on consent-based siting and will also address DOE research and development activities related to high burnup commercial spent nuclear fuel and advanced reactor waste disposition. \n \n\n\n\nThe U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (Board) will hold a public meeting in Idaho Falls\, Idaho on Wednesday\, August 30\, 2023\, to discuss the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) consent-based siting process activities related to its mission of developing one or more federal interim storage facilities for commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) as soon as practicable\, and its research and development (R&D) activities related to high burnup SNF and advanced reactor waste disposition. DOE will provide an update on its consent-based siting activities\, give an overview of environmental justice in consent-based siting\, and describe how it is incorporating social science and digital tools during the consent-based siting process. DOE will present an update on its R&D activities related to high burnup SNF. DOE also will describe its advanced reactor waste disposition R&D efforts both in terms of determining from a technical perspective how it can accept the SNF and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) for transportation and disposal and in developing and implementing an R&D plan to address technical gaps related to storage\, transportation\, and disposal of advanced reactor SNF and HLW. The public meeting will be preceded by a one-day international workshop on the Siting of Radioactive Waste Facilities. A separate press release will be issued on that workshop. \nThe hybrid (in-person/virtual) meeting will begin at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) and is scheduled to adjourn at approximately 4:00 p.m. MDT.

CAN was instrumental in the closure of reactors in MA\, VT and CT. Katz designed the community health study with the MA Department of Health\, organized local community participation and secured pro bono support from Harvard School of Public Health\, USGS\, Clark University\, and John Snow Institute to investigate the epidemic of disease in her community brought on by long term exposure to radioactive releases from a nuclear power reactor. She has coordinated environmental justice tours to Utah\, Nevada\, Washington\, DC and South Carolina\, three Action Camps\, and a national People’s Summits on Nuclear Waste.  Katz won a Giraffe Award for “sticking her neck out” to protect New England reactor communities.  The House of Representative from the Commonwealth of MA cited her for outstanding leadership and service in the public health field. Katz is an author who published In The Valley of the Shadow\, a picture book on the grief process for those left behind. \nRegistration is required HERE.

General admission is $10 available at the Flicks. \nAs political pressure mounts in the US to meet net zero carbon goals\, the nuclear power industry makes its case for a nuclear “renaissance.” In place of the highly costly nuclear towers that have been shut down across many regions of the country\, investors began in the early 21st century to promote small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). \nATOMIC BAMBOOZLE follows anti-nuclear activists and attorneys from the Columbia River region as they draw lessons from the decades-long fight to shut down the Trojan Nuclear Power plant in Oregon and reflect on current promotional campaigns by the nuclear industry and US Department of Energy.  As the industry mounts its “renaissance” with small reactors\, these anti-nuclear activists forge alliances with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and climate activist Cathy Sampson-Kruse (Wallulupum member of the Umatilla) who calls out the nuclear industry and politicians who are using the climate crisis to push for loosening laws restricting nuclear power generation. \nThe  arc of the film is anchored by physicist and professor M. V. Ramana\, a global leader and recognized scholar on nuclear power. He traces the history of nuclear power generation from the 1950s to the present and takes up the four main areas of concern and controversy: costs\, accidents\, waste and proliferation. \nTickets available at the Flicks!

This plan mirrors one they successfully lobbied for in Utah\, and aims to follow in Idaho Power’s footsteps to get the PUC to approve a bad “value of solar study.” This could significantly increase the bills for Idaho residents with solar. While attacking solar and energy democracy\, RMP wants to expand\, gas\, continue burning coal\, and sprinkle that with dangerous\, expensive nuclear energy!  Here’s the dirty deal: \n\nRocky Mountain Power wants the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to approve a misleading “value of solar study.”\nBased on this potentially flawed study\, they’ll then seek to reduce the amount homeowners are paid for the clean\, renewable energy their solar panels generate.\nThis is bad news for Idaho’s environment and your wallet. Over 2\,000 residents in the Rocky Mountain Power service area already enjoy the benefits of solar\, and this move could discourage others from following suit.\n\nThanks to the Idaho Sierra Club for the graphic\, info\, and comment portal! \nPlease share with your networks in eastern Idaho.

Details for the day’s agenda are being finalized and will be available by June 25 on the TerraPower application page and the NRC’s Public Meeting Schedule. \nTerraPower\, through its subsidiary US SFR Owner\, filed the application in March\, requesting a permit to build the sodium-cooled\, advanced reactor design on a site near an existing coal-fired power plant. The 345-megawatt electric Natrium plant includes an energy storage system to temporarily boost output up to 500 MWe\, when needed. If the NRC ultimately issues the permit\, TerraPower would need to submit a separate operating license application. \nThe NRC offers several methods for filing comments on the environmental review before the Aug. 12 deadline\, as outlined in a Federal Register notice. Comments can also be submitted via regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2024-0078\, via email to TerraPowerEnvironmental@nrc.gov or via mail to Office of Administration\, Mail Stop TWFN-7-A60M\, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission\, Washington\, DC 20555-0001. \nA copy of the TerraPower construction permit application\, including the environmental report\, is available at the Lincoln County Library\, 519 Emerald St. in Kemmerer. \n### \nThe Snake River Alliance will work with our allies analyzing the Environmental Review and provide key points for you to use in your comments at a later time.

Concealed by government secrecy\, the plant’s fires\, leaks\, and illicit dumping of nuclear waste contaminated the Denver area with long-lived radioactive toxins. \nA major—and highly visible—plutonium fire sparked a decade of mass protests\, culminating in an unprecedented FBI raid that ultimately shuttered the plant. \nAfter a multi-billion-dollar cap-and-cover effort\, the Rocky Flats site was transitioned into a national wildlife refuge. “The Most Dangerous Buildings in America” lie under six feet of soil at the heart of the refuge\, concealing a landscape still saturated with radioactive contamination. While state and federal officials claim the area is safe\, many community members and experts strongly disagree. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Today\, the radioactive legacy of Rocky Flats is invisible to the naked eye. New housing developments are engulfing areas known to be contaminated with radioactive plutonium. Thousands of former Rocky Flats workers have suffered devastating health issues from radiation exposure. Community members are investigating a potential link between Rocky Flats and troubling health reports in downwind neighborhoods. Ongoing lawsuits\, deception\, health concerns\, and persistent contamination issues continue to plague Rocky Flats\, yet the public is largely unaware of its past and its long-lived radioactive effects. \nThrough powerful testimonials and extraordinary archival media\, Half-Life of Memory exposes Rocky Flats’ dark past and enduring impact\, prompting critical reflection on the implications of the nation’s renewed nuclear weapons buildup.

Light refreshments (coffee\, fruit\, and muffins) will be provided—please RSVP so we can plan accordingly. \nCarpooling: Need a ride or able to offer one? Let us know on the RSVP form\, and we’ll help coordinate. \nThis vigil is a small but meaningful act of remembrance and resistance. We hope you’ll join us. \nRSVP or Questions? Reply to this email or contact Leigh at lford@snakeriveralliance.org URL:https://snakeriveralliance.org/event/sunrise-vigil-honoring-hiroshima-nagasaki/ LOCATION:Dry Creek Trail\, Bogus Basin Road CATEGORIES:Community Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://snakeriveralliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Sunrise-Vigil-for-Hiroshima-and-Nagasaki.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
