I was surprised this Sunday morning when reading the article about Nuclear Waste cleanup at INL that the Snake River Alliance was not credited in any way with the push to have nuclear waste removed from above our aquifer. Nuclear waste disposal at ‘the site’ has been the leading issue for SRA for decades and we were the people’s voice to push for this cleanup. I think the Idaho State Journal would do our community a service to investigate how Pocatello citizens took it upon themselves to hold INL responsible for keeping Southeast Idaho safe from nuclear contamination.
