ATTN: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff Secretary U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff
Dear Secretary ATTN:
Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, What follows is a form letter; I wholeheartedly subscribe to the sentiments expressed therein.
Kindly allow me to add, as a resident who lives near Indian Point, that anyone with the intent to send explosives into Indian Point will find nothing to prevent them.
Anyone who has intent can drive right past the place on the river, or adjacent road, and do so; the view is unimpeded, unobstructed; or take a small plane from the nearby airport for a similar purpose.
DOCKETED USNRC January 19, 2006 (12:14pm)
OFFICE OF SECRETARY RULEMAKINGS AND ADJUDIPATIONS STAFF Kindly stop pretending to protect me and our community and actually do something about it.
PREPARED TEXT:
As a resident concerned about the current security measures required by the NRC for U.S. nuclear power plants, including the Indian Point nuclear power plant located a mere 24 miles north of New York City, I respectfully request that the NRC take into account the following measures as a means to improve security:
The revised Design Basis Threat (DBT) should require that a plant's private guard force is capable of repelling, at a minimum, an attack of the scope, size and sophistication equal to that carried out by Al Qaeda against the United States on September 11, 2001.
In order to fully comply with Section 651 (a) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the NRC should either require that private security forces can protect a plant against an air attack, or formally acknowledge that the credible threat of an air-based attack exceeds the abilities of a private guard force to defend against under the DBT, and immediately request that the federal government assume responsibility for security at all domestic nuclear power plants.
The revised DBT Regulations should require that nuclear power plants situated on navigable waterways be equipped with visible, waterborne barriers, to both deter and protect against "waterborne vehicle bomb attacks" and a waterborne attack by a large armed force.
P (ae_
I SECY - ATTN: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff Page 2 1 The revised DBT regulation should prohibit the corporations which supply the private guard forces at domestic nuclear power plants from staffing both the guard force and the team of "mock terrorists" that participate in Force-On-Force drills at the same plant, in order to avoid a clear conflict of interest.
Sincerely, jeff wanshel 1 spanish cove rd larchmont, New York 10538-3815
