A WORLD FOR OUR CHILDREN
THIS WEB PAGE IS BEING WORKED ON FOR
THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A NUCLEAR FUEL
REPROCESSING PLANT AND A URANIUM
ENRICHMENT PLANT.

IT MAY BE A WHILE, BECAUSE I AM USING A
DIFFERENT WEB PUBLISHING PROGRAM. AND
BECAUSE I AM WORKING ON TAKING THESE
CRIMINALS TO COURT. FEB 11, 2009

What will the world of our children and grandchildren be like?  The information within
may be disturbing.

Dennis R. Spurgeon
Vice President and CEO
United States Enrichment
Corporation (USEC Inc.)
Dennis R. Spurgeon wants to
build a large scale uranium
enrichment plant (nuclear
waste reprocessing plant
and nuclear waste burner
reactor) somewhere in the
United States, while holding
his public servant position
that he recently obtained as
an obvious result of many
years of hard work,
dedication,
bribery,
kickbacks,
campaign
contributions
, lobbying, and
distribution of false and
misleading information
from
the nuclear industry.   
What You Need To Know About Leukemia
Dennis Spurgeon has targeted somewhere between 10 and 13 potential
locations in the United States with a plan of making one of them the
unfortunate recipient of his nuclear waste reprocessing plant and nuclear
waste burner reactor.  One of these potential locations is about half way
between Roswell and Tatum in Chaves County, New Mexico.
Dennis Spurgeon was sworn in on April 3, 2006, as the first Assistant
Secretary for Nuclear Energy (NE) at the Department of Energy in more
than a decade. In this capacity, Mr. Spurgeon is the senior nuclear
technology official in the
U.S. Government.
Mr. Spurgeon leads the recently–announced Global Nuclear Energy
Partnership
.  When I first learned about the GNEP, I was told that it was an
effort to create a monopoly on enriched uranium with the United States,
England, and France, which appeared to be perceived by many as an act
of aggression toward approximately 190 countries throughout the world.  
During the past few months, my understanding is that a few more countries
have joined in the GNEP, while others are prohibited. GNEP is part of the
President’s
Advanced Energy Initiative.  
Most recently, Assistant Secretary Spurgeon served as Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Office for United States Encrichment
Corporation (
USEC, Inc.) an international supplier of enriched uranium for
nuclear plants.
Photo Date: January 1988
The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant site encompasses 300 hectares (750
acres) inside a 1,369-hectare (3,422-acre) reservation owned by the
Department of Energy. It is located approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles)
west of the City of Paducah, Kentucky. Construction of the Paducah
Gaseous Diffusion Plant began in 1951. Initial operations began in 1952,
and full operations were initiated by 1955. Since 1991, the plant has only
produced low-enriched uranium for use as fuel in commercial nuclear
power plants.

The Portsmouth
Gaseous Diffusion
Plant (PORTS) is
operated by the U.S.
Department of Energy
(DOE), and uranium
enrichment facilities
involved in the
production of Low
Enriched Uranium
(LEU) are leased to
the United States
Enrichment
Corporation (USEC).
RTS is one of the two
operating uranium
enrichment facilities
owned by DOE. The
other is in Paducah,
Kentucky....
Residents living in the
vicinity of the PORTS
are concerned that
their health has been
adversely impacted by
operations at the
plant. During a
preliminary visit to the
area in September
1992, ATSDR staff
members met area
residents in a town
meeting. Numerous
concerns expressed
during the site visits
and during several
public meetings and
availability sessions
include the following:
1) skin rashes,
resembling
patches of
sunburn;

2) chronic lung
disease,
requiring the use
of oxygen;

3) nodules on
heads and backs
that looked like
cysts or boils;

4) degeneration
of connective and
skeletal tissue
not associated

    with arthritis
or osteoporosis;

5) spotty
discolorations on
teeth;

6) birth
abnormalities,
such as webbed
hands and
ear-folds and

7) excessive
numbers of
cancers in
children and
cancers in   
        
    
general.
There was
general concern
over spills of
uranium
hexafluoride on
site during the
1960s and
1970s. Also,
there were
concerns about
worker exposure
to polychlorinated
biphenyls
(PCBs),
trichloroethylene
(TCE), uranium
hexafluoride
(UF6), asbestos,
and hydrogen
fluoride (HF).
A more extensive
list of collected
community
concerns from
site visits, public
meetings, public
availability
sessions,
newspaper
articles, letters,
phone calls and
meetings with
residents are
addressed in the
Community
Health Concern
Evaluation
section

In 1933 the bottomless lakes area was set
aside as New Mexico's first state park. Lea
Lake is the deepest at 90 feet and is the only
lake where swimming is allowed. During
summer, visitors can rent paddleboats for a
small fee. Devil's Inkwell is 32 ft. deep and is
named for its steep sides and dark water, the
result of algae growth.

The Pecos River flows from its origins in New
Mexico through hot, dry, semi-arid landscapes in
Texas. It is the largest Texas river basin that
flows into the Rio Grande. As such, water use
and hydrologic issues in the Pecos Basin will
profoundly influence the future of the Rio
Grande Basin.

According to Gandy Marley Inc., this facility
would, also, be about 5 miles from the Ogallala
aquifer.
