NRC Radio Broadcast 3 - NRC Questions and Answers in Navajo (Diné) language
Channel: NRCgov
Date: 27/04/2021

This is the third of three NRC broadcasts in Navajo (Diné) language about a proposal to excavate mine wastes from the site of the former Northeast Church Rock Mine and place those wastes for permanent disposal in a repository on top of an existing uranium mill tailings impoundment at the nearby United Nuclear Mill Site.  In this broadcast, we’ll answer many of the questions we have heard from the public and the local community over the last few months.  Some of these questions relate to the NRC’s draft EIS or to our safety review and others pertain to areas that fall under the authority of the  U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

For questions about the draft EIS or to get copies, contact environmental project manager. Ashley Waldron, at Ashley.Waldron@nrc.gov or 301-415-7317.
