"O-Comments: Hello:
I would like to make some comments regarding the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station, Kewaunee, WI.
In the abstract and Executive Summary the wording for-the recommendation as "being not so great" seems possible to have a double meaning. is "not so great" to be considered as negative, or positive? I would like to ask for wording that clarifies the exact' meaning and intentof the sentence.
There is no inside reinforced concrete storage of the spent nuclear fuel that a local Town Board requested after a vote in 1993. For various safety reasons, the spent nuclear fuel rods should be placed inside a storage facility with ample protection from above. Nuclear fuel rods that have been stored since 1974 need to be safely stored, and monitored. Yucca Mountain Storage has failed. The storage issue should not be in anyway or form, "outside the scope of license renewal," no matter what the method of storage is. S'torage safety is one big issue, and any canister that spent fuei assemblies are placed in should be placed inside reinforced concrete structures.The factor of nuclear storage risk, and nuclear storage payments should be increased to the local municipality as nuclear waste increases.
Since a power plant in the State of Vermont has had serious reactor-borne tritium and cobalt-60 contamination to surface and groundwater, I would like to see additional testing and monitoring being implemented on any possible gamma emitting isotopes, gamma emitting. radonuclides, and cancer causing tritium at the testing sites, and the creation of new testing sites to monitor possible contamination in the soil, water, and groundwater at or new the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant.
In the Fall of 2004, Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a White Finding to the Kewaunee plant regarding the containment vessel head and lack of oversight 'df being able to close the hatch quickly. Would this situation ever arise again?
Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives need to be cohtinually researchedwith the Plant Workers for enhanced'.
plant safety. Is this being accomplished since Dominion Re-ources'have owned the facility?
In section 2.2.9 Historic and Archaeological Resources, is the Indian tribe name Oneida being incorrectly spelled Oneota?
In the Section 8.5 Alternatives Considered But Dismissed, Wind lEnergy is now more readily being implemented as base load power. Off-shore Lake Michigan wind energy was not discussed in the statement.
The option of wind energy in the Great Lakes is missing in the impact statement. Iowa ha's 7 times the amount of wind energy that Wisconsin has, Minnesota and Illinois have about 3 times the amount of wind energy. Wind energy from off shore Lake Michigan was discussed in recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel publications.

In the Section 8.5.3 Energy Conservation, no specific mhehtion of electricity rate programs that could have a statewide impact on energy conservation is not mentioned. The local Utility in Waverlylowa has a rate program that uses inverted rates during the summer to attempt to off-set energy consumption due to air conditioning use. The utility charges more after a set amouht as a way to increase revenue, and to stress energy conservation. Wisconsin h'as no utility that users inverted rates to increase revenue, or to encourage energy conservation that could have an impact on electricity use.
In the Section 8.5.7 Biofuels, anaerobic digesters that are currently being used Oh many Wisconsin Farms are missing from the discussion. There are many farmns in the 50 mile radius of the Kewaunee Plant that make use of an anaerobic digester to make electricity along with other products from farm manure waste that livestock, usually dairy cows, produce on Wisconsin Dairy Farm&s One of those farms is in Kewaunee, Pagel's Ponderosa Dairy. Many cooperatives are being set up in Wisconsin to handle area farmers manure waste in the form of Biogas Anaerobic Digesters. This area of alternatives needs to explored and included in the
-Environmental Impact Statement.
These are my questions and comments.
