Subject:
Davis-Besse Relicense Docket ID: NRC-2010-0298 Jan 15, 2011 R E C EI.....V FD Carol Gallagher 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 !icense 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.
Thank you for your prompt action on this matter for the sazfety and health of the People of Ohio.
(I have read this petition and agree with it all
Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
please say NO to Davis-Besse! Make them accountable for the lapses in safety and help protect Ohioans from a potential disaster at Davis-Besse.
Sincerely, George M. Williams 309 E Edgewood St Sidney, OH 45365-1603
