Brick, NJ – Hundreds of nuclear waste shipments would cross through New Jersey if Congress moves forward with pending legislation to revive a plan for the country’s first nuclear waste repository in Nevada moves forward through Congress. On Tuesday, GRAMMES and Clean Water Action released maps of the likely routes radioactive shipments would use, joining dozens of environmental and clean energy groups across the country simultaneously releasing maps of their local areas. The groups urge citizens to weigh in with Congress about the dangers.

 According to the map, highly radioactive waste fuel from the Oyster Creek and Salem/Hope Creek atomic power plants would pass through 11 New Jersey Counties on highways and railways. Each shipment would contain several times more radioactive material than the Hiroshima bomb blast released, with 20 to 50 tons of irradiated fuel assemblies in each canister.
