Indian Point EIS Comments Bo Pham

Dear Bo Pham,

Indian Point is a dangerous and badly run power plant. It will take courage on the part of public officials and decision-makers like yourself to take a real look at the risks and dangers of operating this nuclear plant in such a populated place. But I urge you to do so.

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.

Sincerely, Eddie Scher 84 Bellewood Ave Suite 100
