OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — Critics had some harsh words for the U.S. Department of Energy on Tuesday regarding a draft environmental impact statement prepared for a proposed program meant to safely, securely and sustainably expand the use of nuclear energy.
DOE has prepared the statement for what is known as the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, and officials had a public hearing on the program at the New Hope Center at the Y-12 National Security Complex.

This morning, Tri-Valley CAREs filed a lawsuit in federal district court in San Francisco against the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The suit alleges numerous violations of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the nation's key open government law enacted to ensure public access to federal government records.

Gerald Pollet, JD; Executive Director (cell: 206-819-9015)
For Release: November 25, 2008
The northwest's leading watchdog organization on Hanford Nuclear Reservation cleanup is applauding Governor Christine Gregoire and Attorney General Rob McKenna for the lawsuit they will file tomorrow to force more and faster cleanup at Hanford.
"Filing this lawsuit is the only way to get this deadly waste out of the tanks before they leak," says Gerald Pollet, executive director of Heart of America Northwest. "Contrary to what the critics are saying, this is not going to slow down cleanup, it is going to speed up cleanup. And whatever the outcome of the lawsuit, we're certain it will prompt emptying of the tanks sooner than the 140 years that the current administration envisions."
"Negotiations have gone on for more than two years while the contamination has spread and DOE has gotten it's way. The only thing that will move cleanup forward on an acceptable timetable is going to court," Pollet said
He noted that evidence also continues to mount that leaks from Hanford's high level nuclear waste tanks is spreading much more rapidly than the energy department claimed was possible while they have spent years slowing down cleanup and dragging their feet

Alliance for Nuclear Accountability
Testimony by Susan Gordon

Global Nuclear Energy Partnership PEIS
The
Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) is a network of more than 36
local, regional and national organizations representing the concerns of
communities in the shadows of the U.S. nuclear weapons sites and
radioactive waste dumps. Many of our member organizations are in areas
targeted for reprocessing facilities and are gravely concerned that
their communities will become nuclear waste dumps just like West
Valley, New York, Pocatello, Idaho, Richland, Washington, and Aiken,
South Carolina.

The Final Complex Transformation Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement is a disappointment to tens of thousands of people who commented on the Draft C-Trans SPEIS, not simply because the Final C-Trans SPEIS indicates a preferred alternative different from the one they advocated, but because they will find, in Volume 3, Part 2, that many of the concerns they raised are dismissed in ways that range from disingenuous to dishonest.
