COmM [flEE CIJA IRS Prozranis Floyd Ivey P~ublic Info'rmation (jer' WVondeock The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is chartered with overseeing the technical and operational safety of US nuclear power units. This agency is respected worldwide 6or its work in ensuring safe designs and operation. i'he Columbia Generating Station of Energy Northwest is an example of those efforts resulting in sustainable, reliable, dispatchable, and economical electrical energy for regional customers.
Renewing the operating license is supported by the Eastern Washington Section of the American Nuclear Society. This essential resource ensures that the region continues an abundance of base load electrical energy. Lack of renewal would require replacement with higher cost energy sources including a mix of carbon fuel supplies which is currently unnecessary. With reliability and capacity factors for scheduled operation approaching 100%. the Columbia Generating Station is our region's best supplement to hydropower.
Therefore, we fully endorse renewal of the operating license for Columbia Generating Station Membership Roger lhicdc id Rxa, Education 1-harty Uabad Marlenc Olver Richard Stout Topical Meetings Hans Toffer Awards Richard Stout Gerry Woodcock H Iistorian Wanda MLnn Sincerely Gary'L.
