M R R - E E - ~ ~ ~ 09: 40 p.a4 January 21,2004 Honorable Nils J. Dim Chaim;an U.S. Nuclear Rqplatory Comrnissiop Wa~hingto~~,DC 20555.
Dear Mr. Diaz,
Please find enclosed 12 letters from concerned citizens 'in the New York Metropolitan Area calling for $he cIosure.of Indian Point's two nuclear reactors. We hope that you take the time to read the personal thoughts that were shared..
Riverkeeper, dorig. with 'an incre+ing amount of familes, cobunities,' and gqvemment, business, cjvic and en+ironmental leaders throughout the tri-state area, remains deeply
- concerned about the Ask Indian Point poses to'our. region. As you know, Riverkeeper has not been, nor are we now, an anti-nuclear group as such,. Gth~ugh we have taken Indian Point to task in the past for its fish kips and other detrimental cooling water impacts.
However, a catastrophic release. of radiationltorn IP, caused by a temrist attack or nuclear accident, would likely aevastate the Hudson River ecology and contaminate, perhaps'permanently, the New York City/Westchester.water supply - precisely the two resources we seek to protect.
Indian Point has bedome &risk to our region3 residents, e-wnorny and 'enviroyent. This -
is a risk we are not prepared to take, With Indian Point shutdown, the ecologi'Cal inkpity of the Hudson will be more secure, as will.our water supply and the 'twent$-million people wh6 live within fifty miles of the plant.
Sincerely, 3
Alex Mtthieissen Hudson Riverkeeper

Dear Dr. Dim.
As you know, the Nuclear Control Institute aiid other experts on nuclear safety warned that an attack on Indian Point nuclear power plant could breach either of the two reactors or the fuel storage pool, causing lethal contamination of everything within 50 miles of the site.
the current evacuation plan is completely unworkable.
Further, the Wilt report, commissioned by Governor Pataki, concludes that Dr. Diaz, our safety and that of our cluldren is at stake! I implore you to take immediate action on the decommissioning and closure of Indian Point.

Dear Dr. Diaz,
As you know, your agency and independent nuclear safety experts alike have acknowledged that a successfd attack on a plant like Indian Point could lead to a catastrophic release of radiation causing tens of thousands of acute and long-term cancer deaths as far away as 500 miles or mote.
The NRC policy states that a nuclear power plant should not be able to operate without a workable emergency plan, Further, the Witt report, commissioned by Governor Paw. concludes that the current evacuation plan is unworkable, Therefore, I move chat the NRC withdraw Indian Point's operating permit immediately.
