2.206 Petition Formal Petition for Enforcement Action
Dear Secretary:
As is allowed within the confines of the fatally flawed 10 CFR Rules and Regulations, there is a means by which affected stakeholders living in the host community of a failing nuclear reactor can seek enforcement action against a license who is operating outside the rules established to protect human health and safety. I am formally filing this 2.206 Petition seeking enforcement action against Entergy Corporation, Indian Point 1, Indian Point 2, and Indian Point 3. I make the following allegations, state that is it my belief that your licensee is in violation of 10 CFR Rules and Regulations.
- 1. Entergy is required for each of its licenses at Indian Point to give adequate assurances that they have funds of a adequate nature to properly decommission their nuclear reactors, and return them unrestricted use in the host community. By their own admission, they have admitted their secured decommissioning funds for their Vermont Yankee site in Montpelier have taken a hit of over $40 Million dollars just in the past few months as a result of the Great Stock Market Crash of 2008 that has seen the stock market lose $35 percent of its value.
The NRC's rules are quite specific, and though it may be unfortunate for Entergy that they placed our decommissioning funds in dangerous market investments, it does not excuse them from their legal and regulatory obligations. There have already been doubts raised about the adequacy of Entergy's decommissioning funds for the Indian Point facility. As a result of the Stock Market crash, it is reasonable to, assume their decommissioning funds for Indian Point have suffered a horrific hit, leaving inadequate funds in the account, putting them in VIOLATION of NRC's 10 CFR rules and regulations of no less than $200 Million Dollars.
I therefore move the NRC to take the following enforcement actions:
A. Order Entergy to take an immediate accounting of Indian Point Decommissioning funds, and report said funds shortcomings to the NRC in a period not too exceed 14 business days.
B. Order Entergy to deposit adequate funds to cover short falls within 30 business days after completion of the initial audit.
C. Suspend ALL OPERATIONS at Indian Point until such time as they are in full compliance with NRC Rules and Regulations as relate to Decommission Funds and their adequacy.
This ends first Allegation.
- 2. Entergy is wrongfully trying to seek Relief from Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No.2 which requested relief for not achieving 100% coverage during volumetric examination of certain welds during the third 10-year inservice inspection interval, which ended on March 1,2007. They are requesting this relief not because it places undue hardship on their company and staff, but to HIDE unsafe conditions with Reactor 2, failing welds, and a failing Reactor Vessel Head. This allegation is further supported by the FACT that Entergy has order new reactor vessel-heads for both IP2 and IP3 with scheduled replacements planned for 2011 and 2013 respectively.
They are deliberately risking human health and the environment to keep these two reactors up and operational despite failing welds and failing conditions of the reactor vessel heads in Violation of 10 CFR Rules and Regulations. This can be further proved by removing the asbestos insulation and doing a FULL INSPECTION of the reactor vessel heads, as well as certain welds that I have reason to believe are failing.
In short, Entergy's Indian Point Reactors Vessel Heads and certain butt and overlap welds are failing, patches giving out, and they are trying to dance around regulations, seek relief from the regulations in a dangerous attempt to operate the reactors at peek performance for an extra 3 and 5 years respectfully until the Reactor Vessel Head replacements can be accomplished... problem is, they are taking this risk outside of the safe operating requirement spelled out in 10 CFR Rules 1 EDO -- G20080693
and Regulations, and are trying to get away with this GAMBLE by seeking a wink and a hod RELIEF from the very rules they are VIOLATING AT THIS MOMENT.
- 1. As a result of these violations, we seek enforcement action that would shut down both IP2"and IP3 until a full and complete examination of the reactor vessel heads and reactor internals can be completed by NRC Staff.
- 2. Seek enforcement action that would preclude a start up of the reactors until A) NRC has determined that the reactor vessel heads and reactor internals are safe and within the safe operating limits of 10 CFR Rules and Regulations (with granting relief and/or exemptions). or
- 3. Reactors remain in cold storage until such time as reactor vessel head replacement/refurbishment tasks have been fully implemented and signed off on by NRC staff after inspection.
Because my health and safety is at risk as a result of these violations of,10 CFR rules and regulations, I further asked that this 2.206 petition seeking enforcement action be expedited and fast tracked for enforcement action due to the horrific and imminent danger the citizens of Peekskill are now facing, as the risk of Reactor Vessel Head Failure is very real and very imminent.
