FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS










MARINE TRANSPORTATION OF NUCLEAR WASTE

Nuclear technology has been sold to other nations, particularly to those of the Far East, by the United States, to enable these countries to construct nuclear plants for the production of energy.  The spent fuel, containing plutonium, must be returned to the United States because it is a necessary component for the production of nuclear weapons.  It is mandated by treaty that the plutonium waste be returned to the United States.

An earlier attempt to transport this dangerous material through Puget Sound to the Port of Seattle for transshipment to an inland destination was frustrated when the environmental organizations and labor resisted its entry to this inland sea.

It has been revealed that another attempt is being made to unload ships in the Puget Sound ports.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs is on record that transportation through Puget Sound to marine ports is unacceptable as a hazardous operation on the enclosed waters with the dense populations of its many cities and communities located there.

c: Governor Booth Gardner of Washington and to The Department of Energy, Washington, DC
