NRC-2010-0029-DRAFT-0025 Comment on FR Doc # 2011-22415 Submitter Information 7-Name: Gary Petersen Address: 7130 W. Grandridge Blvd, Ste. A Kennewick, WA, 99336 rn "n Organization:

TRIDEC (Tri-City Development Council) ,o General Comment I suggest that the NRC develop some mechanism for "weighting" public comments.

Those closest to the plant receive the highest weight, and the further away from the plant, the lower the weight.I live within 10 miles of Columbia Generating Station, and have every confidence that the plant is safe and sound. The City of Richland also gets its municipal water (drinking water) from the Columbia River, down-river from Columbia Generating Station.Why should someone who lives in Seattle, not down-river, not down-wind, and certainly with a huge mountain range between the plant and them, have the same voice weight, as me and my family?I have been everywhere within the Columbia Generating Station, having worked for Washington Public Power Supply System when the plant was being constructed and started operation.

I raised two daughters, again within 10 miles of the plant.There is no question in my mind at all that the plant is safe to operate, that the plant staff is well trained to operate the plant safely, and the license should be renewed.
