relicensing Indian Point
- Hello, I was very happy to attend the meeting for public comments this afternoon. It was very gratifying to see Entergy's supports solely made up of organizations profiting from Entergy's largesse. I wonder if Entergy spent money cleaning up the water leaking into our groundwater from the plant, or perhaps inspecting the domes if that would REALLY make Indian Point a "good neighbor".
I live and am raising my family within the early death zone, 5 miles from the plant. Our energy comes from wind power, not the plant. My experience of Indian Point has been a constant state of resignation.
I became resigned to hear the new "improved" emergency siren installed 30' from my childrens' playset go off every twenty minutes during the "silent testing" periods. I am resigned even now to hearing it go off every morning at 8 AM sharp and several other times throughout the day, every day.
I am resigned that if there were to be an event and the public were endangered, there would be no way for the members of our community to escape contamination from radiation. The infrastructure is just not there.
I am resigned to having fed my children radioactive breast milk. Will this be studied more thoroughly due to the information presented today by the Mothers Milk Project?
I am resigned to hoping my family and I die quickly if an radioactive accident occurs, rather than linger through radiation poisoning.
Please consider the topic of nuclear waste. How is excess waste to be transported from the Indian Point facility? By truck along our highways? By rail along our commuter tracks? How can the NRC in good conscience go forth with a 20 year renewal, knowing the problems the plant has had in the past. Won't problems increase with age?
As someone who really lives here, day in and day out, I can only hold onto the hope that if Indian Point cannot be closed, that it is forced to clean up a shamefully messy operation. All the money spent on influence would go a long way towards that.
