PR 51 Rulemaking Comments (73FR59547)

Subject:

Waste Confidence Rule I would like to express my concern about the Waste Confidence Rule that the NRC wishes to extend. How can there be confidence that Yucca Mtn will open up or there will be a solution to the radioactive waste problem? There has been much effort put into solving this problem without any results.This confidence rule should be scrapped and the NRC should look at the issues that rise at each plant individually. Our local plant VT Yankee is storing most of its waste in an above ground pools which are vulnerable to terrorist attacks. They are beginning to store some in dry casks, but they are located on the flood plain of the Connecticut River. This is not a good solution and as long as the confidence rule is in place the NRC and plant owners will not have to deal with these radioactive waste problems.

Thank you, Sally Newton vrt&+Aes-KSCO(-( 0 1 SECY(-6 OL
