EPA Letter & Memo
The following article provides an important analysis, by a British scholar who visited New Mexico last year. As the birthplace of the Atomic Age and nuclear weapons, New Mexico’s past, present, and future has and continues to seriously impact people and communities.
Future nuclear weapons and the waste their production will generate, are the main reason for "Forever WIPP.” WIPP is currently the only national, geological repository for military nuclear waste.The author states: "A new weapons buildup means more nuclear waste when the US government has not adequately funded the vast clean-up from the last arms buildup, not just in New Mexico but all over the country and beyond."
