More N-Storage Is Needed

Summary


The Deseret Morning News editorial position (March 12) is wrong on its two points. Of course jet fighters with "live" bombs flying near the Goshutes' above-ground storage of spent nuclear fuel sounds like a disaster in the making -- until one checks the details. The bombs are not armed or fused until their intended target is approached. And one could always fortify the containers until they are strong enough to withstand any attack with conventional weapons.

The country needs more SNF storage to accommodate hundreds of new nuclear power plants, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, slowing global warming, reducing air pollution and generating fuel for a clean hydrogen economy. Utah should not work diligently to prevent any nuclear waste storage in the state. Rather we should educate the public and our politicians about the existing safety precautions.
