Nuclear Waste Risk To U.S.

Lowey calls for NRC to release report: "Delaying the release of an independent report on the terrorism risk posed by nuclear waste, including material at Indian Point in Buchanan, could endanger residents, Congresswoman Nita Lowey told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Lowey, a Democrat from Harrison, joined U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., in writing a letter this week to NRC Chairman Nils Diaz, urging him to make public a study on radioactive waste storage at reactor sites nationwide."
