Bill SB687 for ending the unsafe practice of nuclear BSFR dumping
Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 5:21PM 
During the 2009 legislative session, Senator Marrero introduced Senate Bill 687 aimed at ending the process of Bulk Survey for Release. SB687 was assigned to the Senate Committee on Environment, Conservation and Tourism. While SB687 seeks to protect the health and safety of our families, it never even received a hearing--much less a vote!
BSFR - Built in 1958, NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio was one of America’s 10 largest reactors for nuclear research. Now, with more than 80 percent of it dismantled, Ohio is turning to Tennessee to dump their radioactive waste here. It is estimated that about 100 million pounds of nuclear waste will be dumped into ordinary Tennessee landfills.
