Millstone I wish to voice my opposition to the Millstone Nuclear power plant /14910/7

1. The Millstone draft Environmental Impact Statement is completely silent on impacts to Long Island. This gross omission by the NRC is reason to deny re licensing on this basis alone. Meaning if and when there is a nuclear event (and there was one on January 14, 2005), they do not have to notify Long Island who is just 10 miles south of the Millstone along the Long Island Sound. Shoreham did not come on line because we couldn't put an evacuation plan in place. Millstone is our II Shoreham!!
2. Millstone has been operating with an expired Clean Water Act discharge permit since 1997. The Clean Water Act mandates permit holders to obtain five-year permits so that every five years they will have to demonstrate that they have implemented best available technology to reduce or eliminate pollution if they want their permits renewed.

Millstone has been able to get away with operating with non-updated technology an extra five years.

The Connecticut Coalition Against Millstone believes this is a flagrant violation of federal law. (In Connecticut, the Department of Environmental Protection is delegated by the federal EPA to implement the Clean Water Act and hence is the permitting agency. DEP has routinely issued "emergency authorizations" of indefinite duration which violate the permit conditions and which allow for increased pollution by toxic chemicals. This is a scandal! Meaning the NRC and Millstone are above the law and play by their own rules.

3. Millstone is responsible for driving the native fisheries stock to near-extinction through the operations of its intake structures. All these assaults on the environment would end if (a) Millstone were shut down or (b) if Millstone converted to closed cooling system. This important issue certainly affects Long Island because of the dispersion of toxic and radioactive waste byproducts by tidal and wave action.
