Dear Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff:
I am writing on behalf of the Science and Environmental Health Network
("SEHN"), a national non-profit organization dedicated to protecting public health and the environment. SEHN urges NRC to approve the petition for rulemaking that would provide more protective radiation standards at older reactors.
Current standards for radiation are not sufficiently protective of human health. In making environmental decisions, SEHN advocates a precautionary stance, including consideration of the most vulnerable populations: fetuses, infants and children; women in their reproductive years; and those with compromised immunity, among others.
SEHN supports the work of the Alliance For A Clean Environment (ACE),
a grass roots environmental group with members in the tri-county area surrounding the Limerick Nuclear Power Plant. We urge the Commission to listen deeply to the knowledge and concerns of the people who live with the Plant in their midst - and experience the devastating health effects of radiation among their families and neighbors. For these families, rulemaking by the NRC is not an academic exercise, but a very matter of life and death.
We thank you for considering our comments, and look forward to your decision.
Sincerely, Ted Schettler, MD, MPH Science Director
