On the recordJuly 30, 1996
The Department of Energy has indicated that moving this waste will be expensive, however, we are not aware of any fixed price of what it would cost to remove, transport and dispose of this waste. We do not know if a business, operating in the open market, can present a reasonable, competitive bid. We do not know because no bids have been put forth by the Department that would determine the private sector's ability to manage this waste. Hence, the waste remains where it is, the studies continue and the citizens of Tonawanda grow frustrated.
