Community voices push to repeal Andrews waste license
About 25 residents gathered at Big Daddy’s Grill & Bar to urge repeal of the January license granted to Waste Control Specialists for a hazardous and low level radioactive waste site near Andrews. A letter seeking a hearing on the license drew about two thirds of attendees, while critics warn of potential nuclear waste risks even as a company spokesman says the facility will not handle nuclear fuel rods and aims to begin disposing of waste from various sites by July 2010.
