Public comments on NUREG-1437, Supplement 27

Dear NRC,

6 My wife and I grew up vacationing at Palisades Park. We recently purchased an old cottage and renovated it so our four children, 8 and under, will grow up with the same wonderful experiences at the lake. We understand nuclear power can be a viable option for clean and efficient power, but we strongly oppose the renewal of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant license.

There are far too many identified safety, security, environmental and health issues to overcome specific to the Palisades facility to warrant a license renewal. The age-related degradation, embrittlement of the reactor vessel, radioactive generation and storage issues, as well as the sensitive socio-economic impact of the community are just a few. There are a number of energy efficient alternatives that are more viable for the area. Overlooking the interests of the people and clearly identified health concerns in the interest of plant self-preservation are actions from a bygone era.

We implore you to deny the license renewal for Palisades Nuclear Power Plant, listen to the voices of the people, and take a stand for future generations. This is an opportunity to do what is right and set a course for safe, healthy, efficient and renewable energy, rather than holding on to strings of a proven aged, unsafe and volatile facility. Please do the right thing and deny this application, for our kids and the future generations."
