Rep. Allen Wants Your Help In Preventing A High Level Nuclear Transfer Facility in Tooele County


Please send an email to help prevent a high level nuclear transfer facility near I-80 in Tooele County. If the transfer facility is stopped, we may stop the open air storage of casks containing high level nuclear waste in Utah's west desert. The proposal is reckless and not in the public interest.

The proposed storage site sits just 40 to 50 miles upwind from the heavily populated Wasatch Front and adjacent to an Air Force practice range. Why authorize something that would needlessly endanger so many people * us and our families? The federal government has failed to develop a comprehensive policy for dealing with spent nuclear waste. That needed plan should include consideration of utilizing the spent nuclear rods. Until that is resolved, keep the stuff where it is and don't penalize Utahns. Please write and express your concerns to pam_schuller@blm.gov and do it today!

Your involvement can make a difference.

Rep Sheryl Allen
District 19
