Tell DOE that You Oppose Reprocessing and Storage of Nuclear Waste in Your Community

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a notice in the Federal Register on January 4, 2007 that it intends to prepare a Programatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).  GNEP is a massive program proposed by President Bush to restart reprocessing of nuclear waste in the United States, a polluting, dangerous, and expensive process. 

A PEIS is supposed to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a broad federal plan or action that includes a number of phases or actions. Before preparing a PEIS, DOE is required to request comments from the public about what issues should be part of the analysis. 

For more information about GNEP and PEIS comments, see

• What is the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership?
• What Must Doe Consider In Its Analysis Of The Proposed Global Nuclear Energy Partnership? 

The deadline for comments is June 4, 2007. Comments can be submitted in writing to:

Mr. Timothy A. Frazier
GNEP PEIS Document Manager
Office of Nuclear Energy
U.S. Department of Energy
1000 Independence Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20585-0119
Email: GNEP-PEIS@nuclear.energy.gov
Mark envelopes, faxes, and e-mail: “GNEP PEIS Comments.”
