Some Good News -- Public Pressure Yields Results!
GNEP Public Comment Period Extended to 16 March 2009


Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (Santa Fe) reports the following:

The Department of Energy (DOE) originally released the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) draft Environmental Impact Statement in October of 2008 for a 60-day public comment period, which included 13 hearings across the country. At the urging of the public, DOE has extended the comment period 90 days, until March 16, 2009.

GNEP is a Bush administration proposal to expand the use of nuclear energy worldwide, while endeavoring to deal with the proliferation issues and environmental impacts of such a plan. A key component of the initiative involves managing waste disposal through the use of dangerous reprocessing technologies.

The GNEP public comment period is open until March 16, 2009. Questions and requests for additional information or copies of the GNEP document can be directed to Mr. Francis Schwartz, GNEP PEIS Document Manager, Office of Nuclear Energy (NE-5), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington D.C. 20585, or by telephone at 1-866-645-7803 or by fax at 866-489-1891. Comments can also be submitted via the internet at http://www.regulations.gov . Please mark all correspondence "Draft GNEP PEIS Comments."
