The Eagle Mountain City Council will vote 12-16-25 on whether to create an "Alternative Energy Overlay Zone" that will include the ability to put nuclear reactors and waste INSIDE the city! We have to stop this now, for the health of our families, crops, and animals! Eagle Mountain and surrounding city residents, if you don't want your air, water, soil, and your body exposed to radiation, please come to the Eagle Mountain City Council meeting this coming Tuesday, 12-16-25, at 7 p.m. and comment. Also, please call AND email Eagle Mountain's mayor and city council members asking them to vote NO, and comment on the specific agenda item 14A. Sign up TWICE to comment at this link. The city already voted yes to annexing extra land that could be for nuclear, but it only adds about 6 miles' distance from homes and schools where a reactor would go. That's not far enough for our children's safety!

Sign up the first time for general comments, and then a 2nd time to comment on the Public Hearing on Item 14A. You can speak for 3 minutes each time. Other cities have kept their city meeting going ALL night when issues like this arose. We need to FIGHT this!

Agenda here.

We have downloaded and captured the reference to nuclear from the 374-pages-long detailed agenda packet. It mentions WASTE. We do not want our city to become a nuclear waste storage site! It says the security will be a fence or wall, that's it! No open space requirements for a reactor. No mention of who pays for the waste management or construction.

You can watch the meeting online if you absolutely cannot come here. 

Remember this study: "...cancer incidence for children < 10 yr of age who live within 30 mi (48 km) of each of 14 nuclear plants in the eastern United States (49 counties with a population > 16.8 million) exceeds the national average. The excess 12.4% risk suggests that 1 in 9 cancers among children who reside near nuclear reactors is linked to radioactive emissions. If cancer incidence in 5 western states is used as a baseline, the ratio is closer to 1 in 5. Incidence is particularly elevated for leukemia. Childhood cancer mortality exceeds the national average in 7 of the 14 study areas."

And the waste is more radioactive from small modular reactors! "...most small modular reactor designs will actually increase the volume of nuclear waste in need of management and disposal, by factors of 2 to 30 for the reactors...The most highly radioactive waste, mainly spent fuel, will have to be isolated in deep-mined geologic repositories for hundreds of thousands of years. At present, the U.S. has no program to develop a geologic repository...remarkably few studies have analyzed the management and disposal of nuclear waste streams from small modular reactors... because of their smaller size, small modular reactors will experience more neutron leakage than conventional reactors. This increased leakage affects the amount and composition of their waste streams...spent nuclear fuel from small modular reactors will be discharged in greater volumes per unit energy extracted and can be far more complex than the spent fuel discharged from existing power plants...overall, small modular designs are inferior to conventional reactors with respect to radioactive waste generation, management requirements, and disposal options...after 10,000 years, the radiotoxicity of plutonium in spent fuels discharged from the three study modules would be at least 50 percent higher than the plutonium in conventional spent fuel per unit energy extracted."
