NRC Seeking Public Comment on Environmental Review of TerraPower Construction Permit Application
2024-08-12 | ID
Nuclear Regulatory Commission – News Release
No: 24-045 June 12, 2024
CONTACT: Scott Burnell, 301-415-8200
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking public input on the environmental review process for the construction permit application from TerraPower, which seeks permission to build the company’s Natrium nuclear power plant near Kemmerer, Wyoming.
NRC staff members will be in Kemmerer July 16 to describe the environmental review process and gather comments on the issues that should be addressed in the review. 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.
TerraPower, 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.
The 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.
A copy of the TerraPower construction permit application, including the environmental report, is available at the Lincoln County Library, 519 Emerald St. in Kemmerer.
###
The 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.

Rooftop Solar Hearing in Idaho Falls
2024-06-17 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Boise) | Idaho Falls Activity Center, South Room, 1575 N Skyline Dr, Idaho Falls, ID, 83402
Rocky Mountain Power Threatens Idaho’s Solar Power!
Public Hearing: Voice your concerns and tell the Idaho PUC to Reject Rocky Mountain Power’s Solar Study!
Rocky Mountain Power is pushing a plan to slash compensation rates for rooftop solar owners. 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:

Rocky Mountain Power wants the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to approve a misleading “value of solar study.”
Based 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.
This 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.

Atomic Bamboozle
2023-10-22 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Boise) | ID
Atomic Bamboozle is a film you can’t miss.
Join us at the Flicks in Boise for the movie, panel discussion and Q&A with film director Jan Haaken and more!
Students with valid student ID are free. General admission is $10 available at the Flicks.
As 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).
ATOMIC 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.
The 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.
Tickets available at the Flicks!

Summer 2023 Board Meeting: Consent-Based Siting
2023-08-30 08:00 - 16:00 (America/Boise) | Snake River Event Center, 780 Lindsay Blvd, Idaho Falls, ID, 83402, United States
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.

The 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.
The 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. The Board meeting 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 meeting will be available on the Board’s website approximately one week before the meeting.

Nuclear Fuel Chain Part 3: Transportation
2023-06-27 18:00 - 19:15 (America/Boise) | ID
Radioactive waste specialist Kevin Kamps joins us to discuss the transportation of nuclear materials through communities on our nation’s roads, rails, and barges. 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.
The 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.
Kevin Kamps
Kevin 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.

Enrichment? HALEU? Virtual Scoping Meetings Announced
2023-06-21 20:00 - 21:00, 2023-06-21 18:00 - 19:00, 2023-06-21 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Boise) | ID
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.
Enriching 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
There will be three virtual meetings on June 21st, at 6pm, 8pm, and 10pm ET (4pm, 6pm, 8pm MT) . Register HERE.
DOE 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.”
From the Notice of Intent…
The 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.

Comment Deadline for Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment
2023-03-30 08:00 - 2023-04-14 17:00 (America/Boise) | ID
The Department of Energy (DOE) opened public comment for the Bill Gates Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment draft 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.
Learn more and read the EA HERE! Comments are due April 14th.

Pat Marida
We are honored to have with us two experts on the topic, Pat Marida and Terry Lodge.
Pat Marida
Pat has been an antinuclear activist since the 1980s, when she was a volunteer staff person and Board Member of the Ohio Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. For 25 years she held various volunteer positions in the Sierra Club, including serving on the Executive Committee of the Ohio Sierra Club and chairing the Central Ohio Sierra Club for 9 years. She helped found the Ohio Sierra Club Nuclear Free Committee in 2010 and served as its chair through 2020. She is currently a coordinator with the Ohio Nuclear Free Network, having helped start that organization two years ago. She is a retired pharmacist living in Columbus, Ohio.
Terry Lodge
Terry Lodge
Terry is a longtime environmental and civil rights lawyer in Toledo, Ohio who in a career of 43+ years has represented grassroots activists and protesters opposing nuclear power and nuclear weapons, mountaintop removal, fracking and its radioactive waste, war and discrimination in employment. He values the free speech, association and protest rights of activists above every other constitutional right and worries about the privatized censorship of dissent on corporate social media as well as the “money equals megaphone” problem amplified by the Citizens’ United court decision.
Terry currently represents scores of activists formally opposing the construction of two “interim” irradiated nuclear fuel dumps, one in Texas and one in New Mexico, and is pressing a lawsuit over the nuclear weapons implications of manufacturing high assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) at a Department of Energy plant site in southeastern Ohio. He’s also assisting a small but tough group of activists in Erwin, Tennessee who’re outing a local factory’s public health-threatening radiation leaks and nuclear weapons connections in an NRC license amendment case.
