Dear Mr. Crane:
> I understand that AmerGen Energy Company plans to ask the United States
> Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a 20-year license renewal for the
> Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station.This re-licensure request raises
> several significant safety, security and environmental issues that affect
> not only the residents of Ocean County but impact the health and safety of
> our entire State.
> If the NRC were to approve this request, it would enable Oyster Creek to
> continue operations until 2029. Oyster Creek is already the nation's
> oldest operating nuclear power plant, and a successful application for
> license renewal would cause it to become the nation's first practical test
> of nuclear power plant operations beyond a normal 40-year license.
> I do not believe that Oyster Creek is the appropriate test case or Ocean
> County and New Jersey the appropriate venue to see the ramifications of
> allowing a nuclear power plant to operate beyond the traditional life
> duration.The twenty year extension is an unnecessaryrisk to communities
