Millstone Power Plant relicensing Kathleen Cunningham Faraone c7 f//37 44 Cosdrew Lane East Hampton, New York 11937 t - 631-324-3581 f-631-324-7439 e-kathyfaraone @yahoo.com Mr. Richard L. Emch Environmental Project Manager U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 2 March 2005

Dear Mr. Emch,

I understand the operators of the Millstone Nuclear Reactors across Long Island Sound in Connecticut are seeking to renew their license. If renewed, these reactors will be up and running for another 20 years, yet there are no emergency plans in place for eastern Long Island in the event of an incident or accident at the facility. I also understand that the DEIS for this relicensing ignores the safety threats to Long Island, New York residents and the environmental impacts of the aging reactors.

I oppose the relicensing of these reactors for the following reasons:

1. The Millstone DEIS is completely silent on impacts to Long Island. A nuclear power plant in Shoreham, Long Island did not come on line because an evacuation plan could not be put in place, particularly for Eastern Long Island.
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 operate with non-updated technology for an additional five years with no consequence.
3. Millstone is responsible for the depletion of native fish species 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.
