Subject:
Davis-Besse Relicense Docket ID: NRC-2010-0298 Jan 17, 2011 RFQH_/E.
To Gallagher, Ohioans are concerned about the environment, the rising costs of energy, and the dangers associated with nuclear power! However, that has not stopped First Energy from irresponsibly pursuing to get the Davis-Besse nuclear plant on Lake Erie relicensed to continue operation until 2037.
NO NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IS SAFE AND DAVIS-BESSE IS ONE OF THE WORST!
In 2002 the Davis-Besse plant nearly melted down almost causing a nuclear disaster. Neither First Energy nor the Nuclear Regulatory Commission discovered an enormous rust hole in the reactor head until it was almost too late! According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 2 of the top 5 most dangerous nuclear incidences since 1979 have happened at Davis-Besse.
NUCLEAR ENERGY IS NOT CLEAN OR GREEN ENERGY!
Every'nuclear reactor generates about,20 tons of highly radioactive waste per year, and after 40 years of nuclear power, the U.S. still has not found an acceptable solution for the waste. The waste can cause cancer, birth defects, and even death. Nuclear power uses and pollutes significant amounts of water, while the mining, transportation, and enriching of uranium is carbon intensive which contributes to global warming.
I do not want Davis-Besse to continue generating electricity and want the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to end the operating license for the plant. I care about the environment and support clean energy solutions such as energy efficiency and renewable 'power, and I know that Davis-Besse compromises my safety and the safety of my loved ones. So Please stop the relicense of this very dangerous power power plant it is not worth risking the lives of millions of people for energy when there are safer and cheaper options out there.
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
please say NO to Davis-Besse! Makethem accountable for the lapses, in safety and help protect Ohioans from a potential disaster at Davis-Besse.
