You can also support organizations that are working to prevent that future and oppose major provisions of DOE’s renewal application. If you’ve been involved with WIPP before, please make public comments on the draft permit. It means that New Mexico does not have the same rights to say “enough” as Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina, and Nevada did, which prevented those states from being the only repository.ĭOE’s “forever” WIPP is not inevitable. What would a 60-year extension mean to you? It means that waste could continue to be transported through much of New Mexico for decades, putting health, safety and property at risk. J45-Day TID Response On July 12 th, DOE also stated that it objects to any discussion of other repositories in the permit renewal process. Permit Renewal TID On June 27 th, 2022, DOE stated to the Environment Department that it plans to continue to dispose of waste at WIPP until at least 2083. On May 13, 2022, the Environment Department issued a Technical Incompleteness Determination (TID) for the Permit Renewal Application. But DOE has no plans and has taken no action to find and build other regional repositories so that the burdens of nuclear weapons fabrication would be shared across the country. Congress and DOE have always known that WIPP’s limited capacity cannot handle all the nuclear weapons waste. In 1999, the federal Department of Energy (DOE), the owner of WIPP, promised the People of New Mexico that it would clean up all the plutonium contaminated, or transuranic, waste throughout the national nuclear weapons complex in 25-years and close WIPP. Closure includes filling the 2,200-foot deep shafts into the underground facility. The current permit states waste shipments would end in 2024 with closure of the site expected to take ten years, until 2034 or so. One of the big issues is the date WIPP will stop receiving radioactive and hazardous waste generated by the fabrication of plutonium triggers for nuclear weapons for disposal in the underground mine located 26 miles east of Carlsbad, New Mexico. , scroll down to Maentry about the Updated Redline/Strikeout Permit Renewal Application.
