Friday, April 01, 2011 5:35 PM Gallagher, Carol Public comment for Document ID: NRC-2010-0375-0003)lication is inadequate because it: D/7 2Q ,z~/~J$Z/6 The license renewal app" Fails to adequately address the Applicant's capacity to deal with fires and explosions that cause a loss of large areas of the plant. The mitigative strategies for addressing fires and explosions are inadequate to address the consequences of events such as the impacts of large commercial aircraft crashing into the reactors or related facilities.

  • Fails to describe the means that would be used to determine radiation exposures to fire and explosion responders.
  • Fails to describe the means that would be used to protect fire and explosion responders from excessive radiation exposures.
  • Fails to determine the projected decline in demand for electricity attributable to adoption of energy efficient building code in Texas. According to a study by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, building codes that increase energy efficiency may result in an energy savings of approximately 2362 MW by 2023. Such savings would nearly offset the net electrical output of 2500 MW from STP Units 1 & 2.The applicant for license renewal is STPNOC -the South Texas Nuclear Operating Company. The Matagorda County nuclear reactors are owned by NRG South Texas LP, CPS Energy and the City of Austin (of which I am a resident).

Austin gets 16% of its power from the two units.These comments were also submitted online.Carol Geiger Public Citizen -Texas Office 1303 San Antonio St Austin, TX 78701 512-477-1155"It's not that easy being green...7F C)NO Fn Cl)..But green's the color of Spring And green can be cool and friendly-like And green can be big like an ocean, or important Like a mountain, or tall like a tree"-Kermit the Frog 35 V,52--e~1
