rage i oT I Doris Mendiola - relicensing of PNPS From: "Millie Morrison" <millie.morrison @verizon.net> /A /i/e/&)/

relicensing of PNPS As a member of the Duxbury,MA Nuclear Advisory Committee I have several concerns about the relicensing of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. I believe the most important job of the NRC is to protect the health and safety of the public and the environment. I believe the NRC's EIS minimizes the health risks of radiation releases from the plant. I feel the 1990 DPH publication mischaracterized the study of increased cancer incidences in South Eastern Massachusetts. In addition, I believe that our marine aquatic resources are being compromised by the intake design of the PNPS.

I have read Chairman Dale Klein's recommendation that future nuclear power plants should include design improvements to better protect against attack by large aircraft. Don't the citizens in our area deserve as much? Today the PNPS is packed with spent fuel rods in a structure designed before the 9/11 attacks, with off site storage of spent fuel highly unlikely. While the concrete walls may withstand an attack, can you assure us that the ceiling is impenetrable?

In California it has been ruled that the threat of terrorist attack should be considered by the NRC in deciding on the licensing of nuclear facilities. Why don't the citizens of Massachusetts deserve the same consideration and protection? I agree with the Union of Concerned Scientists in their stand on the realistic revision of security regulations.

I hope you will thoughtfully consider the arguments I have presented and take the bold step of refusing to reticence the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.
