TELL THEM:

• To DECIDE NOW to FULLY CLEAN UP the West Valley Nuclear Waste Site
• FULLY REMOVE the WASTE so it cannot spread into the water in the Great Lakes

Brief Background:
The Department of Energy is proposing to clean up only 1% of the radioactive waste, delaying cleanup of the remaining 99% of radioactivity for up to 30 years.
Heavy rain and flooding caused a landslide bringing a nearby Creek closer to the radioactive waste trenches in just one day! Recent Severe Flooding highlights the need for a FULL CLEANUP at West Valley.

An earlier blog post, "Nuclear Waste: Not in MY Drinking Water!", contains multiple News links in support of a full cleanup.
