Indian Point EIS Comments Bo Pham

Dear Bo Pham,

I formally request that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission address the following environmental and public health issues in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Indian Point nuclear power plant:

1: the impacts of a terrorist attack or large-scale accident at Indian Point on the Croton Reservoir, a drinking water supply for New York City and Westchester County residents; 2: the impacts of Indian Point's once-through cooling system on the Hudson River fish populations - including entrainment, impingement, and thermal pollution - using the most current scientific studies; 3: the build-up of high-level radioactive waste at Indian Point and the ongoing radioactive leaks originating from at least two spent fuel pools; 4: the alternatives to Indian Point's nuclear power, using a combination of renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal),

conservation, and clean natural gas, as offered by the 2006 National Academy of Sciences report.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ... my 27-year-old daughter underwent surgery on July 27 and is currently undergoing chemo treatments for a germ cell tumor (only .5% occurrence in women); and my good friend living in Tompkins Cove (directly across the river from Indian Point) has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

What is going on here? Both women, healthy and health conscious, eating organic, regular doctor checkups, etc. -- what is going on? ... Some 8,000 local people participated in the recent walk to support cancer care, research, and cure at FDR Park. This was a LOCAL effort, so the high turnout was particularly disturbing.

In the very deepest part of my being I KNOW THAT NUCLEAR IS NOT THE WAY! Close this plant! Do not license more! Renewable resources (wind, solar, geothermal) may put you out of work, but HEY, what about your kids? What about the future of our earth?

Don't you care?

Sincerely, Barbara Ladd 47 Harrison Street Croton on Hudson, NY 10520
