Opposition to license renewal of Indian Point

Dear NRC,

We would like to register our opposition to the license renewal of Indian Point, and are concerned with the following environmental impacts outlined by Riverkeeper:

--The slaughter of billions of fish, eggs and alrvae every year that results from Indian Point's outdated cooling water intake system, which uses billions of gallons of Hudson River water every day to keep the plant running.

--The killing of shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon when they are trapped against the cooling water intake screens.

Shortnose sturgeon are listed as an endangered species under the federal Endangered Species Act.

--The continuing leak of radioactive water from the Indian Point 2 spent fuel pool into the groundwater and Hudson River, and the residual contamination caused by the plumes of contaminated groundwater that slowly leach toxic strontium-90 and cesium-137 into the Hudson River.

--The long tern storage of thousands of tons of highly toxic nuclear waste on the banks of the Hudson River, currently housed in poorly maintained spent fuel pools and "dry casks" that are vulnerable to terrorist attack.

We depend on regulatory bodies like yours to make our New York communities safer and more sustainable. Indian Point is too old with too many insurmountable problems to continue with its license. Thank you for your attention and we await your just action.

Sincerely, Dorothy Calvani Dava Weinstein 1
