COULD SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO BE HOME TO ANOTHER NUCLEAR WASTE FACILITY? GOVERNOR MARTINEZ IS ASKING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO CONSIDER A 1-THOUSAND ACRE SITE BETWEEN CARLSBAD AND HOBBS AS A PLACE TO STORE SPENT FUEL RODS FROM NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.
BUT DON HANCOCK WITH THE SOUTHWEST RESEARCH AND INFORMATION CENTER IS URGING CAUTION, TELLING 770 KKOB THE WASTE WOULD BE MUCH MORE RADIOACTIVE THAN THE MATERIAL STORED AT THE WIPP SITE.
