opposition to renewing the Indian Point License for 20 years I share the concerns Riverkeeper has mentioned and listed below. Therefore I oppose the 20 license renewal for Indian Point.
Arleen K. Ketchum 10 Pratt Street New Rochelle, NY 10801 Riverkeeper is particularly concerned about the following environmental impacts:
- The slaughter of billions of fish, eggs and larvae every year that results from Indian Points outdated cooling water intake system, which uses billions of gallons of Hudson River water every day to keep the plant operating.
- 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.
- The long term 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.
Comments should indicate that you support Riverkeepers environmental impact concerns and opposition to the license renewal of Indian Point.
