Response from "Comment on NRC Documents" Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by Janet Newman (Lanetnewman(*.optonline.net) on Monday, March 02, 2009 at 16:16:29 DocumentTitle: GElS FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS - INDIAN POINT UNIT NOS. 2 & 3 (NUREG - 1437,Supple/ment 38)

Comments: I live within 10 miles of the Indian Point Nuclear Plants and I oppose their license renewal because:

1) They are unsafe for a highly populated area:

the long-term spent fuel storage tanks and dry casks are poorly maintained and vulnerable to terrorist attack.

2) They are killing billions of fish and fish eggs every year including Atlantic Sturgeon and Shortnose Sturgeon, endangered species.
3) They continue to leak radioactive water from Indian Point 2 spent fuel pool into the ground and into the Hudson River.
4) Residual contamination caused slow leaching of toxic strontium-90 and cesium-137 into the Hudson River via plumes of contaminated groundwater.
