Waste Control Specialists got state licenses in Texas in 2008 and 2009 to dispose of radioactive waste in a dump in Andrews County on the Texas-New Mexico border, adjacent to the giant URENCO USA nuclear enrichment facility at Eunice, N.M. Perry, then Texas governor, appointed the three commissioners of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality who approved the licenses.
The memo was issued the same day the Department of Energy preliminarily proposed to ship all GTCC and GTCC-like waste for permanent disposal at Waste Control Specialists’ facility in Andrews County, Texas. That approach would be formalized in a record of decision to be issued at a later date.
