1. Why is there a rush to renew the license? It is not due until 2024, approval at the earliest should be 2019. This would allow 5 years for the business plan of PECO to either continue or close the plant and make arrangements for additional power to replace the closed plant.
2. A firm closure plan should be approved before license renewal is accepted. This plan must include what is to be done with the site, where the nuclear waste will be disposed of etc. The disposal area must be at site in operation not some theoretical site like the now defunct Yucca site. The public and our future generation deserves to know what is expected to be done at the site. Radioactive material must not be allowed to remain on the site.
3. The government should conduct a survey of various illness in the vicinity of the nuclear plant prior to any renewal of a license. If this would indicate a danger living near the plant then the license should not be renewed.
4. Developers are required to fund traffic improvements to an area to allow an area to be developed, this should apply to Limerick. The evacuation plan now will not work. When the plant was started there was no traffic out here, now it is grid lock.

Limerick should fund new roads and bridge to alleviate traffic jams in order to have an orderly evacuation.

5. The plant is vulnerable to terrorist attacks. An airport is located next to the facility. A plane could be flown into the reactor building or the emergency power supply for the water circulation system at the same time terrorist could cut all outside power to the plant this would cause a meltdown and render the entire area around and downwind of the area uninhabitable for hundreds of years.
