NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL REVIEW BOARD


Board Meeting: January 26-27, 1999--Las Vegas, Nevada: Department
of Energy's (DOE) Viability Assessment of a Repository at Yucca
Mountain, and Other Issues Related to the Disposal of High Level Waste
at Yucca Mountain

    Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203,

Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, the Nuclear Waste
Technical Review Board (Board) will hold its winter meeting on Tuesday,

January 26, and Wednesday, January 27, 1999 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
meeting, which is open to the public, will begin at 1:00 p.m. on
January 26, and 8:00 a.m. on January 27. The meeting will be held at
the Alexis Park Hotel, 375 East Harmon, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109; (Tel)
702 796-3300, 800 453-8000, (Fax) 702 796-0766.
    On January 26, the meeting will focus on progress on alternative
repository design, scientific and engineering investigations, and
regulatory criteria pertinent to a potential repository at Yucca
Mountain, Nevada. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has been
invited to send a representative to discuss the NRC's draft rule (10
CFR part 63) for disposal of high-level waste at Yucca Mountain. On
January 27, the focus of the meeting will turn to the U.S. Department
of Energy's Viability Assessment (VA). Representatives from the DOE
will make presentations on different aspects of the VA, including
repository design, waste package characteristics, total system
performance assessment, the license application plan, and repository
life-cycle costs. A detailed agenda will be available approximately one

week before the meeting. You can either call for a copy, or visit the
Board's web site at www.nwtrb.gov.
    The Board is making an added effort at this meeting to accommodate
the views of interested parties. Time will be set aside at the end of
both days, and will be extended if necessary, to take public comments.
Those wishing to speak are encouraged to sign the ``Public Comment
Register'' at the check-in table. A time limit may have to be set on
individual remarks, but written comments of any length may be submitted

for the record. In addition, time will be set aside for public comment
in the late morning on January 27. Interested parties also will have
the opportunity to submit questions in writing to the Board. To the
extent time permits, these questions will be answered by one or more
Board members during the meeting. Last, the Board members are extending

an invitation to the public to come meet them and have a cup of coffee.

This informal get together will be held in the meeting room on January
27 from 7:15-7:45 a.m.

    The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board was created by Congress in

the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 to evaluate the
technical and scientific validity of activities undertaken by the DOE
in its program for managing the disposal of the nation's commercial
spent nuclear fuel and defense high-level waste. In the same
legislation, Congress directed the DOE to characterize a site at Yucca
Mountain, Nevada, for its suitability as a potential location for a
permanent repository for disposing of that waste.

Atomic uncertainty

YUCCA Mountain in southeast Nevada, 40 miles
from Las Vegas, is supposed to be the ultimate safe
storage site for highly radioactive waste from the
production of electricity and nuclear weapons.

Much of the waste temporarily buried at the Savannah
River Site is slated to go there.

Now, after 15 years and $6 billion worth of research,
the Energy Department is about to report that
proposed man-made caverns and tunnels deep inside
Yucca Mountain may not be so safe after all.

Its five-volume report, called a Viability Study and
numbering thousands of pages, is only an interim
report. A final report is due in 2001 when the Energy
Department will submit its recommendations to the
president.

Among the doubts and reservations:

* Water moves through the desert mountain faster than
originally believed, posing the possibility that nuclear
contamination could be carried to groundwater and
thence spread over a vast area.

* The peak releases of radioactivity will be so far in
the future -- 200,000 years or more -- that the
reliability of man-made, corrosion-resistant
cannisters to contain the waste cannot be relied on.

It is contemporary time that is running out for the
Energy Department. It was supposed to start accepting
nuclear waste from the nuclear power industry last
February. Yet it is easy to see how confounding site
selection can be.

Yucca Mountain has been at the top of every
government agency's list of storage sites since the
U.S. Geological Survey identified it as a likely
candidate in 1976. It is isolated, already on
government property and annual rainfall is only six
inches.

But the quest for scientific certainty about safety has
lengthened every time a preliminary report has been
issued. In the 1980s, the Environmental Protection
Agency set the maximum containment period for
radioactive waste at 10,000 years.

Scientists later found that the most intensely
radioactive wastes, such as cesium and strontium,
will have decayed in 10,000 years, but plutonium and
other man-made elements will endure for at least
200,000 years.

And even those figures depend on projections that are
only mathematically provable, not scientifically
certain.

Anticipating the final report on Yucca Mountain, due
out in 2001, Energy Secretary William B. Richardson
said that predictions would be stated in probabilities.

"That's all one can offer," he said. "I don't think in
science one can offer certainty."

That change in viewpoint makes the selection of
Yucca Mountain more likely in 2001. The sooner that
spent fuel rods buried at SRS are dug up and hauled
to Nevada, the better ..

U.S. Orders Research On Atomic Waste Site
Nevada Facility Closer to Approval

By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, December 19, 1998; Page A09

Finding "no show-stoppers" that could scuttle the
project, the Clinton administration yesterday moved
closer to approving Nevada's Yucca Mountain as the
first permanent repository for the nation's most
dangerous forms of nuclear waste.

Energy Secretary Bill Richardson released a
five-volume "viability assessment" that commits the
government to continued research on the proposed $19
billion dump, to be built beneath a desert ridge 90 miles
northwest of Las Vegas. A decision on the controversial
site could come as early as 2001.

After 15 years of study, agency officials described the
project as "promising" but said key issues remain
unresolved. Among them is the question of whether the
mountain's cracks and faults could release radiation
within the 10,000-year lifespan of the dump.

"Our pledge is to do a serious, objective study," said
Energy Undersecretary Ernest Moniz, the agency's top
scientist. "We are committed to addressing the issue of
nuclear waste in a way that, to the best of our scientific
knowledge, protects human health now and in the future."

The Yucca Mountain repository is strongly opposed by
Nevada state officials and by many environmentalists,
some of whom criticized yesterday's decision to allow
the project to go forward. Last month, 219 environmental
groups urged the Department of Energy (DOE) to
abandon the site on grounds that it poses unacceptable
risks to future generations.

"It would be outrageous for DOE to make the decision to
go forward with more work at Yucca Mountain when the
evidence in their own study -- a leaky mountain, leaky
containers, and earthquakes -- disqualify the site," said
Ann Mesnikoff of the Sierra Club.

If built, the repository would house 77,000 tons of spent
reactor fuel and other highly radioactive material from
military reactors and commercial nuclear power plants.
Current plans call for a maze of underground chambers
where wastes would be stored in corrosion-resistant
canisters. The total future cost of the project, including
transportation and long-term maintenance, is estimated at
$36 billion.

Several recent studies have questioned whether Yucca
Mountain's geological features could compromise its
ability to isolate the highly radioactive waste in the
future. Moniz said government scientists disagree with
the studies' conclusions but would assign top priority to
resolving all the issues raised. "We don't want to hide
from these problems," he said.

Most of the waste destined for Yucca Mountain is
temporarily stored at more than 100 private and
government sites around the country, despite a
government promise to begin accepting the material by
January of this year.

Because the repository would not open until 2010 at the
earliest, the nuclear industry and its congressional
supporters are pressing the administration to open an
interim storage site in the nearby desert. Industry
officials have sued the Clinton administration over the
delay, and yesterday they urged the Congress to pass
legislation creating an interim dump.

"The viability assessment is now out. It's positive," said
Joe F. Colvin, president of the Nuclear Energy Institute,
a Washington-based trade group. "Congress now needs
to enact the comprehensive legislation that was
supported by overwhelming majorities in both houses of
the 105th Congress."

U.S.: Nevada desert is promising site for nuke waste

December 18, 1998 CNN

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of
Energy said Friday that Yucca Mountain in the Nevada
desert was a "promising" site for becoming the nation's
permanent nuclear waste repository, pending more
research on its safety.

By calling it "promising," the agency rejected pleas from
environmental groups to disqualify Yucca Mountain.
Those groups have cited research showing that
groundwater could be contaminated by radioactive waste
during the thousands of years the nuclear fuel would
remain highly radioactive.

DOE released its first detailed analysis on the potential
waste site in a long-awaited viability assessment. The
agency said that if it were eventually approved, the site
would cost some $19 billion to build and monitor.

"DOE believes that Yucca Mountain remains a promising
site for a geologic repository and that work should
proceed to support a decision in 2001 on whether to
recommend the site to the president for development as a
repository," the DOE said.

For the site to be recommended, the agency said it must
still demonstrate that a repository can be designed and
built at Yucca Mountain that would protect the public and
the environment.

The waste site would become the home for some 70,000
metric tons of spent radioactive fuel rods from nuclear
power plants, and additional waste from production of
nuclear weapons.

Currently, around 38,000 tons of spent fuel is being stored
at more than 70 commercial nuclear power plants across
the country, pending the resolution of a dispute over when
the federal government must remove the waste for storage.

DOE said uncertainties remained about key natural
processes in the Yucca Mountain region, and over
preliminary design plans. To address the outstanding
questions, the agency said environmental impact
assessments would be conducted in the next two years
before the final recommendation in 2001.

The report said the advantages of making Yucca Mountain
the repository site included:

- -Location. The mountain lies 100 miles northwest of Las
Vegas on unpopulated land owned by the federal
government and adjacent to the Nevada Test Site, the
longtime home for more than 900 nuclear weapons tests;

- -Lack of water. DOE said water is the main way
radioactive elements are transported from a repository,
and noted that Yucca Mountain is in a desert, with an
average rainfall of 7 inches;

- -Groundwater. The nearest groundwater is isolated in a
closed basis and does not flow into any any rivers that
reach the ocean.

The DOE said the natural geology and the preliminary
repository design can keep water away from the waste for
thousands of years. Using mathematical models, the
agency said that for 10,000 years after the repository is
closed in around the year 2045, people living near Yucca
Mountain are expected to receive little or no increase in
radiation exposure.

The maximum radiation exposure was expected to occur
after 300,000 years, the report said.

DOE said the preparation of environmental impact
statements in 1999 and 2000 would cost around $1.1
billion, and if approved, the construction and placement
of waste would cost around another $18.7 billion in
constant 1998 dollars.

The first waste would be emplaced in 2010 and the last
waste in 2033, and the site closed 10 years after the last
waste is laid to rest. DOE said the total cost to complete
the program, including transportation of waste and storage
would cost around $36.6 billion. The number does not
include the $5.9 billion that has spent on the program thus
far.

DOE SETTLES WITH 39 GROUPS ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS OVERSIGHT

To settle a lawsuit brought by 39 environmental and
peace organizations, the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) has signed an agreement which will increase
public oversight of contamination problems in the
nation's nuclear weapons complex. The settlement,
delivered to Federal District Court Judge Stanley
Sporkin in Washington, DC Monday, ends nine years of
litigation charging that DOE failed to develop its
"cleanup" plans properly. "From the perspective of
protecting the nation's water, air and land, this
settlement is superior to the Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement DOE originally agreed
to prepare," said David Adelman, a Natural Resources
Defense Council lawyer who represented the plaintiffs.
A key part of the settlement is a new $6.25 million fund
for non-profit groups and tribes to use in monitoring
DOE environmental activities and conducting technical
reviews of the agency's performance. A publicly
accessible database will be created about contaminated
facilities and waste generated or controlled by DOE's
cleanup, defense, science and nuclear energy programs,
including domestic and foreign research reactor spent
fuel. Characteristics such as waste type, volume, and
radioactivity, as well as transfer and disposition plans
will be listed.

U.S. GROUPS JOIN EUROPEAN PROTEST AGAINST UKRAINIAN REACTORS

More than 80 environmental and consumer
organizations Monday sent a letter to President Bill
Clinton and to the U.S. representative at the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
urging them to stop funding for Ukraine's proposed
K2/R4 atomic reactors. 67 of the groups were from the
United States. The letter was part of an international
day of protest against what the groups say is an
"unnecessary and dangerous project." Demonstrations
took place in 30 European cities Monday, the end of a
controversial "public consultation" period intended by
the EBRD to solicit public comment on its participation
in the project. The Clinton administration has supported
construction of the new reactors as the price to pay for
a permanent shutdown of the two remaining operable
Chernobyl atomic reactors. But environmentalists and
critics in Europe, and now the United States, point out
safety shortcomings in these Soviet-designed reactors.

DOE REMOVES 18 TANKS FROM HANFORD DANGER LIST

After years of extensive technical work, which included sampling and
laboratory analysis of the waste from over 110 tanks, the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) has closed the safety issue
associated with potentially explosive
organic compounds in single-shell waste tanks, one of
several safety issues associated with these tanks at
Hanford. The DOE will remove 18 tanks from the site's
organics waste tank watch list of potentially dangerous
tanks. 28 of the 54 original tanks DOE placed on
Hanford's tank waste watch lists will remain on the
watch lists. Eight of the single-shell tanks removed
from the organic complexant watch list will remain on
Hanford's tank waste watch list for flammable gas -
hydrogen. Hanford was established during the World
War II as part of the secret Manhattan Project to
produce plutonium for the United States' nuclear
weapons. Weapons material production stopped in the
late 1980s, and the site is now engaged in the world's
largest environmental cleanup effort to deal with the
legacy of radioactive and hazardous wastes that
resulted from the plutonium production era.

FOUR VIRGINIA HOSPITALS RECEIVE RADIOACTIVE CONTAINERS

An explosion at the Blue Ridge Nuclear Pharmacy in
Roanoak, Virginia Thursday resulted in metal containers
contaminated with radioactivity being sent to four
regional hospitals. While a pharmacist was heating
three 6-milliliter vials of liquid Tc99m cadiolite in a lead
heating block at 100 degrees Centigrade, one of the
vials exploded for unknown reasons contaminating the
entire laboratory. "The pharmacist was not injured. He
cleaned up and decontaminated the laboratory, its
contents and the radiopharmaceutical metal delivery
containers present in the lab," the pharmacy reported
to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Still, later in the
day four hospitals notified Blue Ridge that metal
delivery containers received from Blue Ridge that
morning had "removable contamination in excess of
acceptable limits." The hospitals are Carilion Roanoke
Memorial, Carilion Community, Radford, and Allegany
Regional. Blue Ridge will retrieve and further
decontaminate the containers.

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY COALITION
"WEEKLY UPDATE"
December 20, 1998

The articles provided below were initially compiled by the SUN DAY
Campaign
(ph. 301-270-2258; fax: [phone]) for the 36 member organizations
of the
Sustainable Energy Coalition (list available upon request).

Feel free to distribute this newsletter to others. In addition, please
let us know
of other U.S. organizations, businesses, or government agencies that
would
like to be added to the e-mail list for this publication. This
newsletter is
presently sent to over 550 recipients nationwide.


FEDERAL ENERGY BUDGET AND TAXES

1.) Sustainable Energy Coalition/FY'00 Budget:

In a 2-page letter delivered to President Clinton on December 16,
eighteen
member groups of the Sustainable Energy Coalition urged the White House
"to
submit a budget for FY'2000 that will accelerate the pace of research,
development, and deployment of sustainable energy technologies to the
level
charted by you in the 1998 State of the Union message." The signers
noted
that they "are concerned by reports that the proposed FY'2000 request
for the
U.S. Department of Energy's energy efficiency and renewable energy
programs
standards at a level that is less than the Administration's request for
these
programs for FY'1999." The Administration's FY'99 request for DOE's
energy
efficiency and renewable energy programs totaled $1.16 billion. There
are
reports that the FY'00 request is at least $40 million less. The
Sustainable
Energy Coalition has proposed a budget of $1.4 billion. The letter also
noted
that "coal, oil, and nuclear energy are now increasingly recognized as
costly
anachronisms" and, "in a budget full of tough choices," urged the
President to
phase them out. Let us know if you would like us to fax or e-mail you a
copy of
the letter.

2.) Senator Bingaman/Oil Funding:

In a 4-page December 17 news release, Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)
provided the text of a bi-partisan letter to President Clinton opposing
proposed
cuts in petroleum-related R&D. The letter states, in part: "We are ...
disturbed
by press reports that, in the midst of the current crisis facing the
[domestic oil
production] industry, the Office of Management and Budget has
unilaterally
decided to cut funding for petroleum-related R&D programs in your
fiscal year
(FY) 2000 budget.  We strongly urge maintaining funding for these vital

programs at least at their current levels." Bingaman is a co-chair of
the Alliance
to Save Energy as well as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Energy
Committee. Let us know if you would like us to fax you a copy of the
release.

3.) Polluter Tax Breaks:

Friends of the Earth reports that new information released by the
non-partisan
Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation shows that tax breaks for
polluting
industries are estimated to grow to $17.8 billion over the next five
years. The
report, "Estimates of Federal Tax Expenditures for Fiscal Years
1999-2003"
notes that the oil and gas industries will receive tax breaks totaling
close to
$11 billion with $2.4 billion for the Percentage Depletion Allowance,
$0.3 billion
for Enhanced Oil Recovery, $2.2 billion for Intangible Drilling Costs,
and $6.2
billion for Nonconventional Fuel Production Credit. The report can be
viewed at
<www.foe.org/DLS>.

4.) Sustainable Energy Coalition/Climate Change Tax Package:

Various members of the Sustainable Energy Coalition are putting forth
ideas for
the Administration's climate change tax package. Regarding
transportation,
some are proposing that the current electric vehicle credit (10% of
purchase
price up to $4,000) which will expire shortly, be extended to 2008 and
cover
electric and fuel-cell vehicles as well as hybrids that meet
California's LEV-2
emission standards and are at least 1.5 times as efficient as the class

average. Regarding biomass, the current "closed loop" incentive should
be
extended and broadened to include some form of "open loop" systems and
possibly allocate available monies on an auction basis.  Regarding
housing, a
credit capped at $2,000 should be offered to either builders or buyers
of either
new and existing buildings against 20% of the cost of building upgrades
that
yield efficiency savings of 30% or more.


ELECTRIC UTILITY RESTRUCTURING

1.) Another Nuke Shutdown?:

The December 10 "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" reports that Illinova, Inc.
is
preparing to sell or permanently shut down its 950-MW Clinton nuclear
power
plant located near Clinton, Illinois resulting in a loss the company
claims may
top $1.5 billion. Reportedly, PECO Energy Co. and Entergy Corp. are
potential
buyers for the facility which has a book value of $1.6 billion. Clinton
shut down
in September 1996 because of mechanical problems that Illinova
estimates
would cost $210 million to repair. If sold, the plant's sales price
would likely be
less than $80 million.

2.) Solar Electricity Plant:

A December 10 news release from Sun Power Electric reports that solar
power
began flowing from the first generation facility to produce all its
power from
solar energy for sale in the competitive market. Thus far, Sun Power
has
completed installation of 60 of the 156 photovoltaic panels at Station
#1, which
are located on the roof of the BJ's Wholesale Club in North Dartmouth.
The
entire system is expected to generate 60,000 kilowatt-hours of
electricity
annually, meeting the needs of 10 average homes for 20 years. Sun Power

sells this solar power to AllEnergy as part of its "green" electricity
product "Re-
Gen." Station#1 was partially funded by a grant from DOE's Utility
Photovoltaic
Group TEAM-UP program. For further info, call 508-359-0155.

3.) Congressional Committee Assignments:

House Commerce Chairman Bliley has named Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) as
chairman of the House Energy & Power Subcommittee (which will handle
electric utility restructuring legislation in the 106th Congress),
according to
Barton's office. Also, Rick Kessler (former personal staff of Rep.
Frank Pallone
(D-NJ) and  lobbyist for Princeton) will be joining the minority staff
of Commerce
Committee, handling mostly Energy and Power subcommittee issues.

In addition we have received the following information about Democratic

assignments to the full House committees.  There is still no
subcommittee or
lesser committee information available.  No freshmen were assigned to
these
three major committees.

Appropriations (gained 1 seat):  left committee--Yates (IL), Stokes
(OH), Fazio
(CA), Skaggs (CO), Torres (CA);  joined committee-- Clyburn (SC),
Hinchey
(NY), Royball-Allard (CA), Farr (CA), Jesse Jackson, Jr. (IL),
Kilpatrick (MI),
Boyd (FL)

Commerce (gained 1 seat): left committee--Manton (NY), Furse (OR);
joined
committee--Barrett (WI), Luther (MN), Capps (CA)

Ways and Means:  left committee--Kennelly (CT); joined
committee--Doggett
(TX)

4.) Kucinich Restructuring Bill:

We have received a 20-page section of  the "Electricity Consumer,
Worker, and
Environmental Protection Act of 1998 (H.R.4798) introduced by Rep.
Dennis
Kucinich (D-OH). The section details the bill's provisions for a Public
Benefits
Fund, net metering, and a Renewable Portfolio Standard. Let us know if
you
would like us to fax you a copy.


CLIMATE CHANGE

1.) 1998 Warmest:

The December 18 "Washington Post" reports that the World Meteorological

Organization (WMO) says that the earth's global temperature in 1998
will be
the highest since 1860. In its "Annual Statement on Global Climate,"
WMO
notes that the global mean surface temperature is estimated to be 0.58
degrees Centigrade above the recent long-term average based on the
period
1961-1990. It also noted that the 10 warmest years have all occurred
since
1983, with seven of them since 1990. In addition, from the surface to
seven
kilometers altitude, record temperatures in 1998 were 0.47 degrees
higher than
the average of the last 20 years, making 1998 by far the warmest year.

2.) Republicans/Climate Change:

A December 18 "Inside EPA" article reports that Senate Republicans,
including
Senators Frank Murkowski (R-AK) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE), are considering

offering legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through
increased
reliance on hydropower, nuclear power, and other "clean" technologies
as an
alternative to the Administration's commitment to the Kyoto Protocol.
Such
legislation might include easing the relicensing procedures from
hydropower
dams and nuclear power plants, and increasing research and tax
incentives for
a new generation of ultra-clean fossil fuel technologies. Republicans
are
apparently beginning to conclude they need to have an action agenda on
climate change that goes beyond simply opposing the Kyoto Protocol.


MISCELLANEOUS

1.) New Jersey Energy-Saving Homes:

The December 10 "Newark Star-Ledger" reports that the State of New
Jersey
has agreed to offer up to $10 million in low-interest loans and tax
credits to
developers building energy-efficient homes as part of its Sustainable
Development/Affordable Housing Pilot Project. Residents of these
energy-
efficient homes, which must be 30% more efficient than traditional
homes, can
expect to save an average of $30-$35 per month on their combined
heating,
cooling, and water heater bills. If the program meets its goal of
developing 100
energy-efficient homes, it would result in the homeowners saving enough
on
their energy bills to pump $2-$4 million back into the economy.

2.) Nuclear Waste/Viability Assessment:

More than 100 organizations signed on to a 3-page news release issued
December 18 by Public Citizen and the Nuclear Information and Resource
Service.  It coincided with the release of the Department of Energy's
Viability
Assessment (VA) of Yucca Mountain's suitability as high-level nuclear
waste
repository. The statement charged that the VA snubs necessary public
involvement; nonetheless, scientific data in the VA confirms that the
site
should be disqualified. Let us know if you would like us to fax you a
copy of the
release.

3.) Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy Executive Order:

We have received an updated 11-page version of the Administration's
draft
executive order to mandate expanded use of efficiency and renewables by

federal agencies. Members of the Sustainable Energy Coalition are
presently
drafting comments that will recommend that the executive order direct
federal
facilities to reduce carbon emissions by 20% by 2010, curb energy use
by
30% by 2005, and meet 10% of electricity needs with solar, wind,
geothermal,
biomass, and small hydro (i.e., less than 30 MW) sources by 2005. In
addition,
we have received a 2-page memo sent to the White House by the Alliance
to
Save Energy outlining several recommendations including carbon targets
and
removal of numerous loopholes.  Let us know if you would like us to fax
you a
copy of either document.

4.) Expanding Photovoltaic Markets:

The Renewable Energy Policy Project has released a new 20-page study
"Expanding Markets for Photovoltaics: What To Do Next" which provides a

"ten-point package of recommendations" including aggressive government
procurement of PV, a multi-year PV communications plan, legislation to
facilitate the deployment of distributed PV systems, and integration of
PV's
into the overall development strategy of developing countries. The full
report
should be available at <www.repp.org>.

5.) EPA/Solar Web Page:

The U.S. EPA has announced the creation of "a new webpage on the
environmental benefits of solar energy, including the ways in which air
pollution
can be curtailed by the use of solar power as an energy source." The
new
webpage can be reached through <www.epa.gov/solar> and is found by
clicking "Pollution Prevention Calculator" under Pollution Prevention
Benefits of Renewable Energy.

6.) Correction:

A recent "Weekly Update" reported that a ribbon cutting ceremony marked
the
beginning of construction of the Vansycle Ridge Wind Farm in Oregon.
In fact,
the ceremony marked the beginning of the windfarm generating
electricity.

7.) Happy Holidays:

The "Weekly Update" will not be published on December 27.

Subject: (abolition-usa) New idea on Iraq!

I suspect that one reason the U.S. is reluctant to end the sanctions against
Iraq is the fear that the U.S. will never be able to get the sanctions
restored if Iraq misbehaves in a major way.  To solve that problem, I
propose that the sanctions be suspended for 30 days to test Iraq's
willingness to cooperate with UN inspectors, with the provision that the UN
Security Council would have to vote after 30 days to extend the suspension.
This would ease the plight of the Iraqi people, give Iraq reason to
cooperate, and preserve the option of restoring the sanctions if Iraq
doesn't cooperate, so as to discourage Iraq from obstructing UN inspections
again.  I bet that the U.S. would be more willing to lift the sanctions if
there was a provision for automatically reimposing the sanctions if Iraq
misbehaves.
