Comnfentlf.s at Peach Bottom - July 31,2002 I received the Draft Report for Comment of the Generic of Nuclear Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal Units 2 Plants regarding Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, and 3. This is not a reader friendly document and I had trouble locating points of interest.
There was no mention of my question regarding an evacuation I found accident.
plan for the Amish in the event of a nuclear of the plant no mention of my request that past performance sleeping be taken into account, including control room operators the danger on the job. There was no mention of my concern of of spent radioactive fuel being stored on site.
with There was no mention of my comments about the problems August the emergency warning sirens. In an NRC document dated 15, 2001, it is noted, "...two former contract technicians and deliberately falsified siren testing maintenance recordsall that performed inadequate siren tests while professing one activities on siren records were properly done; and (2) to bypass of those technicians knowingly installed jumper -iAres which failure detection circuitry on at least 10 siren boxes if would demonstrate the sirens were working properly, even they were not." renew It is my opinion that the NRC had already decided to plant when they received the license of the Peach Bottom Power the application. The only reason meetings are held is to meet a requirement. Sam Gejdenson, the former chairman of the House Interior Subcommittee on oversight, said about the NRC, "On has acted as if it were a number of occasions, the commission the advocate for, and not the regulator of, the nuclear industry." the I continue to be concerned about an earthquake given as erroniously spelled proximity of the Martic (not "Martick" in the draft) fault line. According to a Lancaster New Era a Peach article on July 1, 1994, corrosive cracks found inside an accident Bottom reactor "...could cause a meltdown during today."
or earthquake, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said expected to
"...cracks in the York County nuclear reactor are grow and will have to be monitored, the NRC said." "...NRC a meltdown officials also warn that the cracks could lead to I could if they shift during an accident or natural disaster."
find no mention of this in the draft report for comment.
I would still like to know how many accidental releases began of radiation have occurred at Peach Bottom since it and operations. I would like to know the type of radiation The draft report does not address the amount of each release.

I would like to have data on cancer cases, birth defects and stillbirths in a ten mile radius of the plant and compare this information to the national average. The draft report does not address this in detail.

associated with the shutdown and decommissioning of Peach area However if a power plant were to operate around the same number using renewable resources, such a plant would need a large the of employees who would probably be just as involved in community as the current Peach Bottom employees.
I do not agree with the conclusion of the draft report which would notes the impact of renewing the license of Peach Bottom quality, have a small impact on land use, ecology, water use and air quality and waste. I do not agree the use of renewable resources at the same site would have a greater impact on the environment than the current plant.
Since the Peach Bottom Plant is located on the edge of the great east coast megalopolis, an accident could have a devastating effect on millions of people. We need to shut down and decommission the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station before a horrible accident occurs.
