Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) adequate measures should be taken regarding emergency response capabilities and training to protect the people of the States through which radioactive waste destined for the New Mexico Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) will be shipped, as well as the people of the State in which it will be disposed; and (2) the Department of Energy should not place any radioactive waste in the WIPP facility until it is determined that brine-infiltration does not present a threat to safe radioactive waste storage.
