Fri, Nov 2, 2007 11:25 AM Draft GElS WCGS 2 Nov, 2007 Regarding the Draft-Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 32, regarding Wolf Creek Generating Station.I support the NRC staff's preliminary recommendation that "the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for WCGS are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable." For nearly a decade, I had responsibility for environmental monitoring of the area around Wolf Creek Generating Station. Recent results from KDHE monitoring around the station were quoted in the Draft GELS. Tritium is the only significant isotope found in the environment from the plant and it is present in the cooling lake at levels below the drinking water standard.While the Draft GElS was extensive, perhaps an additional issue of merit in considering the Denial of Renewal Option might be considered:

If the station closes, Coffee County Lake would likely cease to exist and that entire aquatic and shoreline population would be lost. Although evaporative loss would be reduced without the station in operation, the normal input to the lake is probably not sufficient to maintain it. If so, that would increase the negative impacts of denial of renewal.Ronald Fraass rfraass@aol.com Email and AIM finally together.
