Salt Lake Metropolis Generally Cloudy 42˚ Weather | Traffic By Amy Joi O'Donoghue, Deseret News SALT LAKE Town — Rep. Jim Matheson, D- Utah, joined by Utah gubernatorial candidate Peter Corroon, said Utah needs to remain vigilant and resist any efforts to store blended nuclear waste within its borders. The two spoke out Sunday at a press conference on the east steps of the Utah Capitol, where they stressed the need for aggressive policies to stop the waste from coming to Utah. "It is up to the state to stop it,Office 2010 Professional Plus," Matheson said. "We need a united effort. Peter Corroon as governor is going to be the voice to make sure this doesn't happen." Corroon,Windows 7 Pro Key, the Democratic challenger to Herbert, said the current governor was "asleep at the wheel" when it came to the shipment of depleted uranium that came to Energy?Solutions' Clive facility. Depleted uranium, which is the byproduct of the uranium enrichment process,Office 2007 Pro, has been policy concern of both state regulators and Herbert, both of whom have issued statements saying they're opposed to its storage here. However, 5,000 barrels have been shipped to Clive while the state undergoes a review of a site performance assessment regarding storage requirements. Herbert did fly to Washington,Office Pro 2010, D.C., and met with U.S. Department of Energy officials over the issue,Windows 7 sale, effectively getting the last of the shipments put on hold. But Corroon said he acted too little to late. "He let one get past the goalie last time." Herbert's spokeswoman, Angie Welling, said Sunday the governor acted decisively to negotiate an agreement with the federal agency that directly resulted in the remaining trainloads of material being diverted elsewhere. That action produced results rather than Herbert "engaging in ineffectual politicking and public hand-wringing." She also added that if standards cannot be met to ensure the health and safety of the public, the depleted uranium that has arrived in Utah will be moved elsewhere, according to an agreement brokered with federal regulators. The call for vigilance comes on the heels of a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission decision issued last week that said states should retain flexibility when they have ability to store so-called blended waste. The ruling of non-action is the result of the commission conceding it is at last a year or two away from completing its own rule-making on storage requirements. Matheson said the resulting uncertainty should be a clear signal that no waste should be accepted in the interim. "None of this stuff is benign," he said. EnergySolutions has sought to store blended waste at Clive, asserting the mix of concentrations still fit into the lowest-level of radioactive waste and meets its licensing and regulatory requirements imposed by regulators. e-mail: amyjoi@desnews.com
