Comments on Indian Point Relicencing The re licencing of Indian point needs to consider the following environmental impacts which have or could have a devastating effect on our environment:
-Operation of an ageing nuclear power facility beyond its intended life span within a highly populated area. The environmental impact statement needs to include and look at potential dangers from emissions/accident and include modelling to determine the possible outcome.
-The storage of nuclear waste materials above ground on the banks of the Hudson River-the impact and threat associated with this and the impact in the event of a release/ accident in the storage facility. Direct terrorism or sabotage must be included in the analysis. The cost of this storage and maintenance of this material over its' lifetime needs to be included in the economic analysis.
-A constant histroy of leaking of radioactive water from Indian Point into our groundwater and into the Hudson River. The true costs of these emissions to public health with proper studies on children in the surrounding comunities must be included.
-Inadequate inspection of underground pipework which is old and beyonds its' useful service life.
-A constant history of leaching toxic strontium 90 and cesium 137 into the River - the potential that the hudson river will be used as a water source for Rockland COunty with this nuclear plant emitted radioactive substances into the river.
-killing of short nose sturgeon (endangered species) and Atlantic Sturgeon
-the slaughter of billions of fish, eggs, and larvae as a result of Indian Point's outdated cooling water intake system which uses billions of gallons of Hudson River water daily - there is an alternative to this and this must be stopped.
This re licencing must be denied on the basis that the true cost of operating this plant in its' current location is way beyond any financil benefit. If a new nuclear facility was being planned for this populated are it would not be even entertained as the dangers are too high. We must look at this plant in the same way.
