WASHINGTON, July 17 -- Public Citizen issued the following statement by Director Adrian Shelley:
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality voted unanimously to allow Waste Control Specialists (WCS), the operator of a nuclear waste dump in Andrews County, Texas, to reduce certain disposal fees from 40 cents per unit of radioactivity to just five cents.
The move would allow WCS to import nuclear waste from across the nation while charging a fraction of the cost.
