Appendix A EXECUTIVJ; SUM.MAl:tY In cvalooting the impact of de(;ommissioning Entergy Nuclear lndi.m Point 2, LLC and Entergy Nudtmr Indian Point 3,. LLC, the potential emissions incereases associated witll replaceement electricity generation smm:es need to be evaluated. TRC eyaluated several different scenarios to determine the imptu:t <!M the ltir tJUality in New York State &ld the local area. Replacem~nt sources examined included e:<>hting fossil genemting stations located in the enlire swte of New York, the Hudson Valley and New York City. Tu prov-ide con<<:::>:t fbr interpreting the proje~tcd emissions increases, the increases. fbr each replacement scenario are expressed liS percent increases relative to regional ancl stntewlde emissions, and the health and welfare efte<:ts associated. with each pollutant and the groups most susceptible to them have been tabulated.
\Vhen evaluating the emission increase from :murc:e~ located throughout the stare, it was neces:sary to dev~lop a "gen~rutk1n fuel mix." This consisted of the ;mt!cipttted mix of ¢oal, gas, oil etc. expected fi}r the replacement ge.nera!ion sources during the years 2002 through :W05.
Dat~ from the current New York State Energy Plan, dared J.:k.c:ember 2001, ser>.,es as the basis for the existing and pr~jected fu.ture generation fud mix applied in the analysis Indian Point Units 2 and 3 have an aw~rage nct maximum capacity of9S::t7 and 989 Megawlltls (M\V), res~-ctivuly, based on. information provide<! tn the Independent System Operator (ISO). Based on a 90% capacity laetnr, the anmml generating capacity of these two units is 15,552,767 Megnwatt*h<Wri< (1\1\~lh),. which represents <~:pproximately 10% of the statc*s total genem:titm. The first set of calculations pro~'*nted a->..~umes that !he demand is met by increased operation of existing New York State fossil stalion)), e;tl that a generation mix of c.mll, oil. and natural gas in the years 2002 through 2005 replaces the generating c.1pad1y of Units 2 and 3. To c:stablish a baseline, emi~s.ioM cstimat~~s for lhc existing unit:> arc bl!$ed ou a combination of data fl:mn th~;: US Environmental Protection Agent.')' {EPA) utility Eml:>sions & Generotitm Resource lntegmtt:tl Database 2000 (EORID2000l. Verniofl 2.0 and !he US EPA Document AP-42 emissi!)n fimtors ror stalicmary souree.s. When more than one emission f..'lctor *was available. !he lower emission t'ol.<:tor was d:ws.en. ll1is approach represems a COnli-ervat:i ve estimate of the potentiul increase. Since it is reasonable to a>>sm:ne that the .maji~rity of lost Oltlp<tt would be made up by increased gcnerati<m of unit-> nearest to !he New York City I Westchester load pooket, replacement by the fum- hug~ fl)ssi! ptJw*er smtk*ns i:n the Hudson Valley (Bowline Point, Lovett, Dmtskammer <md Rosetm(l and tile existing unils in New York City was a.!w studied. For each ofthese plants. 1 December 2010 A-763 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00003
Appendix A baseline emissions and generation were obtained from !he EGR!D1000 dat;tba..<:e. Data klr lhe mo:st recent ye.ar included in this datnbase (1998}wlls utilized in !his study. The !lrsi. task in d1is set (Jf t.*.ak:u!ations assumed replacement by the four large plan~ in the Hudson Valley: HowHne Paint, Lovett, Danskammer, and Ra;;etott- 1besc plants util.i;~.e boilers that arc fired* with coal, No. 6 n..."'Sidual oil and v.atural gas,. These plant:; currently !)p:rate .at capacity factors ranging from 32% to 58%. These tour stations would need to operate at over 90% eapadty factor in order to mnke up the ](!.!lt generJ.tion from lndhm Poinl. .2 nnd 3. II. has boon determined that the~ plant.<; are already operating more during !he ozone season (May through September) based on the EGR1D2000 data; thus. the increJJ.sed demand during the oz..onc season cannot be mel by these four sUttions alone, The l'lcXt s1tunt:km that >vas evaluated was the .wp!ncemcnt by the 14 existing power plants ln the five boroughs of New York City. The replacement de:rmmd is approximately 33% of the available generution from the New York City plants. In order to det~'Tminc the generation and emissions increases, it was assumed that the total fuel and plant mix ih:.nli these pl&:it>< w(luld re-main constant, eX:cept for the plants t!tat could uQt meet this illl;rease, Sin~;e the cw:rertt generation for all of these fllcililicl:> combined is rcm.ghly equal to that of Indian {'oint 2 and 3, the emi$_"lion rates in New York City would nearly d:<1ubk in ~1rdertn make up !.he kwt genera.tion.
]ne final scenario of .reph:tccment by existing sources that was evall.lllted wa..'> the replacement by a combination of the four Hud1>on Valky plants and the planl:s located in New York City. for the pUf'JJOSt::S of this evaluation, it wa..'> a~sumed that half of fue mHke-ut~ generation would come fi:om the f;:_,ut H1.1dson Valley Plants and !he other half wot~ld come from the plants in New York Ci!y, with the i.ncrel:l.>>e determim:d by assuming thnt lhe total fuel a.nd plant m.ix from these IWo sets of plants w"Ould remain cvnsmnt, ex\:ept 1hr the plants thilt tould not meet this increase.
The increa.'>!:s [Tom each of tht! above-described scenarios were rompan.'<i w the current

Appendix A 1 2 3 MR. KLINE: Good evening and thank you for this 4 opportunity to address you tonight. My name is Tom Kline. I'm 5 the business manager of Boilermakers Local 5. I 1 i ve in the 6 Hudson Valley. I have worked at Indian Point many times. 7 Because of the good jobs that it creates, I stand in support of 8 Indian Points re-licensing. There's no question that these are 9 tough times for New York's working families. Businesses are 10 raising consumer costs and cutting employee benefits just to 92-a-EC/ SO/SR 11 stay afloat. Economic uncertainty continues to plague our local 12 banks and unemployment is now at its highest level in nearly 13 fifteen years. New Yorkers also face an uncertain energy 14 future. ConEdison reported last year that electricity usage 15 increased 23% between 1997 and 2007. Our existing power supply 16 is not equipped to handle the state's increasing demands for 17 electricity. The danger of blackouts increase with each passing 18 day. 19 Many of our lawmakers, such as President Obama, have 20 wisely focused on energy infrastructure investments to stimulate 21 our economy. Updating our electricity transmission 22 infrastructure and implementing a new comprehensive Power Plant 92-b-EC/ 23 Siting Law in New York will certainly create new jobs and so 24 facilitate needed economic investment. Despite all this, New 25 York still cannot meet its long term energy needs without Indian NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-832 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00072
Appendix A 1 Point. Without Indian Point producing 2000 Mw of the emission 2 free electricity, the atmosphere in the New York City region 3 will further degrade as fossil fuel burning power plants are 92-c-AL/ 4 built to replace the enormous levels of power that Indian Point AQ 5 currently produces. Specifically, the replacement power would 6 generate 14 million tons of C02 each year. Indian Point is also 7 a source for jobs and investment with hundreds of my fellow 8 union members supporting their families through the work of the 9 energy facility. In these tough economic times, this fact 10 cannot be overstated. Working families deserve opportunity to 92-d-SO/ SR 11 build on their quality of life, not see it interrupted by short-12 sighted narrow interests. Using common sense, I am confident 13 that you will agree that Indian Point is the right choice for 14 New York's future. Thank you. 15 December 2010 A-833 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00073

Appendix A 1 2 MR. KNUBEL: Yeah, my name is Jim Knubel. I am an 3 adviser on the border of New York AREA. I'm also the former 4 chief nuclear officer for Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick plant 5 before the sale to Entergy and I transitioned over to Entergy as 6 a vice president there. I only have three major points. First, 7 I'd like to commend the NRC for, I guess, resisting all of the 94-a-LR 8 pressure to bend the rules, not follow the rules, change the 9 template, change the regulations, change the requirements. 10 Instead, I think you guys did a very good job of following the 11 rules as they were laid out and as you've used successfully on 12 other planets and come to right conclusion. 13 Second, specifically, I am a little confused in 14 Section 4.6 on endangered species, when you have a conclusion in 15 there that the impact on the short-nosed sturgeon may be small 94-b-AE 16 to large, but there's been a 400% increase in the population 17 over the three decades. So, to me that's inconsistent and does 18 not make any sense and needs to be rectified in the final EIS. 19 The last thing that I' 11 mention tonight is that on the no 20 act ion statement in Sect ion 8. 2, the draft EIS failed to 21 reference or mention a study that was done by the National 22 Academy of Sciences in 2006 at a cost of $1 billion to the 94-c-AL/ EC 23 taxpayers to look at alternatives to Indian Point. It's 24 interesting because the conclusion of that report said that even NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-838 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00078
Appendix A 1 with Indian Point, the southeast region here of New York is 2 going to struggle with electrical reliability and supply issues. 3 And without it, it was possible that the region could survive, 4 but only if eight specific things were done to overcome 5 substantial political, interestingly, financial and 6 institutional barriers to building new plants. You might want 94-c-AL/ EC 7 to guess how many of those have been addressed in the three contd. 8 years since the report has been written? The answer is zero. 9 OK, so for those people who think it's easy to replace Indian 10 Point, I think it's important that the factors from this study 11 and other studies be factored into Section 8.2. Thank your very 12 much. 13 14 December 2010 A-839 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00079

Appendix A 1 2 MS. KAPSHAW: Hi, I'm Kaitlyn Kapshaw. I'm a student 3 at Ramapo College. I'm not here to tell you how wonderful or 4 how horrible Indian Point Nuclear Center is. I 'm here to te 11 5 you that several of the students and I read through the impact 6 statement that they provided and we had several issues that we 7 felt needed to be addressed or weren't fully explored. It said 8 that humans are not exposed to toxins from the plant because we 97-a-EJ/ 9 do not drink the water from the Hudson River. However, we could HH 10 be affected by drinking the water or eating the fish from it. 11 How can one say that the minimal toxicity that Indian Point lets 12 out is normal? What studies have been done regarding the poorer 13 population of the people in this area who need to fish from the 14 Hudson River to survive? People may not be exposed to toxins by 15 drinking the water, but they are exposed by eating the fish who 16 1 ive in the water. 17 There are also three endangered species: the Indiana 18 bat, the bog turtle and the New England cottontail, which were 19 identified by the Fish and Wildlife Services as having the 20 possibility of living at or near the Indian Point site. 21 However, it states in the EIS that the wildlife in the forested 97-b-TS 22 area within Indian Point has not even been surveyed. So we 23 don't even know if they exist there. The wetlands that are 24 adjacent to the Indian Point site have not been evaluated with December 2010 A-847 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00087
Appendix A 1 regard to the bog turtle either. The Indiana bat may reside in 2 the forest as it states in the EIS, that it's a possibility in 3 the summer months that it lives there, but we don't know because 4 no studies have been done. We feel that if there are endangered 97-b-TS contd. 5 species that have the possibility of being in this area, we need 6 to discover if they're there and what impacts Indian Point would 7 have on them and on their life. 8 It has also been shown that excessive amounts of 9 nutrients or an increase in temperature in the waterways can 10 create sudden blooms of phytoplankton or algae in the Hudson 11 River. We need to find out whether algae or phytoplankton 12 blooms are occurring in this area due to the Indian Point 13 cooling system, which withdraws water from the Hudson River and 14 returns it at a warmer temperature than it was withdrawn. We 15 need to find out if this is having an effect on the environment 16 of the area because periodically, decomposition of large algae 97-c-AQ/ WA 17 blooms diminish the dissolved oxygen in the water and blocks out 18 the sunlight of the river. This decomposition can be correlated 19 to fish die-offs that occur and we need to find out whether 20 Indian Point contributes to an excess of algae blooms, which in 21 turn is linked to fish die-offs. We also feel that the loss of 22 fish is not fully discussed and examined. Loss of fish directly 23 affects the delicate phytoplankton food chain. The fish 24 population helps keep the phytoplankton at an acceptable level NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-848 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00088
Appendix A 1 and with fewer predators, outbreaks of phytoplankton might 2 occur. There's no consideration for the effects of the 3 decreasing aquatic fauna population. Marine webs are an 97-c-AQ/ WA 4 extremely complex and delicate system and altering any level of contd. 5 it could be detrimental to another level. 6 In addition, the increase in water temperature from 7 the cooling systems can cause phytoplankton to distort and 8 rupture. We feel that the studies of the impingement of fish 9 seems to occur only up to 1990, which is especially distressing 10 considering that the short-nosed sturgeon, which is an 11 endangered species known to be living in the Hudson River near 97-d-AE 12 Indian Point has been impinged at Indian Point in the past. 13 Considering it is an endangered species, it's known to be in the 14 area and it has been impinged in the past, we feel that current 15 research should be done to discover what effects Indian Point is 16 having on its current population. The last research was done 17 over 18 years ago. Another issue that we found was that the 18 MELCOR Accident Consequence Code System version 2.0 is a program 19 with many flaws, but it is cited, referenced and relied upon in 20 the Appendix G. of the Indian Point GEIS. 21 The MACCS is a simulation that takes many factors into 97-e-PA 22 consideration and produces datapoints about how many people will 23 pass away within immediate impact, latent impact, as well as the 24 financial reparations and cumulative costs of catastrophe, such December 2010 A-849 NUREG-1437, Supplement 8 OAGI0001367D 00089
Appendix A 1 as relocation costs, farm and crop reimbursement, etc. The model 2 is weak with regard to the methodology for determination of 3 direction-independent 95th percentile dose to the off-site 4 individual and may be used to conservatively evaluate the 95th 5 percentile direction-independent dose to receptors equidistant 97-e-PA 6 to the source. The atmospheric model included in the code does contd. 7 not model the impact of terrain effects on atmospheric 8 dispersion nor can it except more than one weather spatial 9 location. The MACCS-2 is not well-suited for modeling 10 dispersion close to the source, less than 100 meters or long-11 distance dispersion, which is beyond 15 to 20 meters. 12 MR. RAKOVAN: Miss, if you could please finish up. 13 MS. KAPSHAW: Okay. Basically, being so close to New 14 York City we feel that the model needs to be a better model to 15 use. So, all right, sorry. Bye. 16 17 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-850 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00090

Appendix A 1 2 MR. KREMER: Thank you very much. Again, we'd like to 3 thank the commission for holding these hearings. On behalf of 4 the New York Affordable Reliable Energy Alliance, I'm here as 5 chair to voice the views of our hundred members plus for the 6 continued operation of Indian Point Energy Center. We represent 7 business groups, labor unions, an array of community 99-a-SR 8 organizations throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City. I 9 served in the New York State legislature for 23 years. I was 10 the author of the original Power Plant Siting law, which there 11 is none today, because it lapsed some years ago. According to 12 the NRC, this hearing is designed to give members of the public 13 the issue to raise environmental issues that you should 14 consider. There is a lot of factors that you re going to take 15 into account, but I think one of them clearly is air quality. 16 To understand the gravity of the air quality situation in this 17 region, one need only look at the United States Environmental 18 Protection Agency scorecard on air quality. 19 The following areas in New York State are in violation 99-b-AQ/ HH 20 of federal ozone standards, as well as federal standards for 21 particulate matter: the five boroughs of New York City, Long 22 Island, three counties of the lower Hudson Valley, including 23 Westchester, Putnam and Rockland. Dutchess and Orange County 24 are also in violation of federal ozone standards. The American NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-854 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00094
Appendix A 1 Lung Association's 2007 report shows New York's air quality 2 continuing to worsen with the New York area continuing to be a 3 dangerous place to breathe the air for thousands and thousands 4 of asthma sufferers along with others who are respiratory 5 illnesses. 6 The fact of the matter is that without Indian Point, 7 our air quality would continue to erode and more people would 99-b-AQ/ 8 suffer. The continued licensing of the Indian Point Energy HH contd. 9 Center may be the difference between dark skies or cleaner air 10 for the entire downstate regions. New York's air quality in 11 this area is now considered one of the worst in the nation. If 12 you eliminate a non-polluting plant like Indian Point and 13 replace it with many new fossil fuel burning facilities, it 14 could be the tipping point to an environmental disaster. 15 We understand that one of the alternatives that you 16 talked about in your preliminary study is, can we replace Indian 17 Point with power generated from wind or solar panels. These 18 renewable forms of energy are certainly an important aspect of 19 our energy portfolio. But let's think of it. They are not 99-c-AL/ 20 base-load power sources. In other words, they don't generate EC 21 electricity 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Solar gives us 22 electricity when the sun is out. Not in this region. Wind 23 power plants are the standard base-load sources of electricity, 24 but this is not a region where the wind constantly blows. For December 2010 A-855 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00095
Appendix A 1 example, the mass transit system of New York City or hospitals 2 and emergency rooms and sporting arenas cannot wait for the 99-c-AL/ 3 to blow or the sun to shine. They need power on demand and EC contd. 4 need it now and Indian Point provides that for them. 5 The thing that makes nuclear the best form of base-6 load power is the fact that it doesn't emit harmful pollutants 7 like nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide. So we would urge you in 99-d-AL/ 8 your consideration of factors as to whether the environmental AQ 9 impact of Indian Point Energy Center is: We need the 2000 10 megawatts. There's no rational environmental alternative. We 11 need this plant for another 20 years. 12 13 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-856 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00096

3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-858 December 2010 OAGI0001367D_00098
Appendix A 1 MS. LEE: I seem to be in a minority today because my 2 group does not receive funding from Entergy. However, I did 3 represent Wall Street and the tobacco industry for 20 years, so 4 I'm very well aware of how easy it is to buy support. I would 5 like to devote my points simply to what the purpose of this 6 meeting is, which is the EIS report, the draft report. I ' 11 7 make four main points. I' 11 make them quickly. 8 First of all, the no action alternative analysis is 9 inadequate, incomplete and cursory. The principle data relied 10 upon by Entergy is from Entergy, which is a self-serving 11 environmental report and from some hand cherry picked reports 12 from the Department of Energy. It's completely ignores, not 13 just hundreds, but thousands of reports that have come out in 102-a-AL 14 recent years from major universities as well as from the United 15 States National Renewables Laboratories about the numerous 16 alternatives to Indian Point which would be available, which 17 would put us truly on the path of a clean sustainable energy 18 future. Which I'm sorry, but giving money to coal and to 19 nuc 1ear does not do. 20 Number two, the draft EIS completely ignores the 21 impact of global warning upon the Hudson River ecosystem 102-b-AE/ Gl 22 particularly the affects of warming and the interaction of that 23 warming with the fish and other aquatic populations. 24 December 2010 A-859 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00099
Appendix A 1 Number three, the report ignores potential, and I 2 would argue almost inevitable, long-term impact of spent-fuel 3 kept on premises. The evidence supports the conclusion that the 4 Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant site will become a permanent 5 high-level nuclear waste dump on the banks of the Hudson River 102-c-RW/ SF 6 and it is absolutely egregious omission of duty on the part of 7 the NRC staff not to even examine this issue or to give it any 8 kind of consideration whatsoever. That it in fact suggests very 9 strongly that this draft report is nothing else but a 10 rubberstamp for this re-licensing. 11 And number four, my final point, is that the fact that 12 the environmental impact ignores, again completely ignores, the 13 possibility and the impact of an accident and what the real 102-d-OW/ 14 effects of an accident, including the NRC's own studies, as well PA/ST 15 as ignoring that possible effects on the environment and public 16 health of another terrorist attack, particularly in light of the 17 events of 9/11, absolutely unethical. Thank you. 18 19 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-860 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00100

Appendix A 1 2 MS. LEIFER: I guess what I want to say is when we talk 3 about any of these topics, there's jobs, there's pollution, 4 there's a need for energy. I think we have to see it as a very 5 big picture. The United States has 1/5 of the world's 6 population. And it uses 25% of the world's energy. What I want 7 to suggest to you tonight is that conservation, in many ways, 8 could be the way that we save enough energy to have the cleanest 9 possible energy, so that we don't have asthma and we don't have 103-a-AL/ UF 10 cancer because the energy from the Indian Point power is not 11 pollution free. Yes, it does not at the plant make carbon 12 dioxide. But when you mine the yellowcake in Navajo country and 13 change it to nuclear rods, you use a tremendous amount of coal 14 C02 energy. 15 When you get the nuclear rods to Indian Point and 16 dispose of them, we have no really good way of disposing them. 17 We are sitting on a mountain of polluted nuclear waste that can 18 last for 100,000 years, a million years, we do not know how to 103-b-RW/ SF 19 deal with it. For us sit here and think that, OK another 20 20 years of piling it up will be a good idea, is something I think 21 we should think very hard about. I think conservation would be 22 the major thing that New York State can do for its energy 103-c-AL/ 23 crisis. I think that the jobs that are at Indian Point can be UF 24 changed to other kinds of jobs that produce energy. We ' re December 2010 A-863 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00103
Appendix A 1 certainly going to need those kind of people. So, I'm not 2 looking to lose jobs for any of these good people, but I am 3 saying that you do not produce on-site carbon dioxide, but you 1 03-c-AL/ UF 4 do produce on-site a tremendous amount of nuclear waste. You do contd. 5 not have a solution for it. Thank you. 6 7 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-864 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00104

Appendix A 1 2 MR. LUDWIGSON: Good evening. I'm Steve Ludwigson. I 3 am the vice-president for Boilermakers Local-5. I thank you for 4 the opportunity tonight to address you. I stand in support of 5 Indian Point Energy Center's re-licensing. Indian Point produces 1 05-a-SO/ 2000 Mw of low-cost electricity in the lower Hudson Valley. In SR 6 7 the process, it employs hundreds of local people and good paying 8 jobs. A study by the Nuclear Energy Institute found that Indian 9 Point is responsible for more than $700 million in annual 10 regional economic activity. The electricity produced is clean, 11 carbon free electricity. This helps in New York's efforts to 12 curtail greenhouse gas emissions. Replacing Indian Point's 13 clean base-load power in densely populated downstate New York 14 would require using fossil fuels and negatively affect those 15 goals. Previous reports by New York Independent System Operator 16 noted that southeastern New York will need up to 2000 Mw of new 17 electricity by as soon as 2012, just to satisfy growing demand 105-b-AL/ EC 18 for electricity. According to economic and environmental 19 studies by the Bloomberg administration, projections indicate 20 the population of New York City will grow by one million people 21 by the year 2030. With this growth and the growth of 22 surrounding municipalities will come an ever increasing demand 23 for electricity. The Article-10 Power Plant Siting Law expired 24 on December 31, 2002. So the source of where the power will NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-866 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00106
Appendix A 1 come from is still in question. 2 Indian Point has been a good neighbor and a financial 3 boom for its employees and the Hudson Valley. It safely and 4 cleanly produces a product America depends more for each day. 5 Until a means are in place to meet the electric capacity of the 1 05-c-EC/ SR 6 projected growth, including the reinstatement of Article-10 7 Power Plant Siting Law, it would be both detrimental and foolish 8 not to re-license Indian Point Energy Center. Indian Point 9 Energy Center is safe, secure and vital to New York. Thank you. 10 11 December 2010 A-867 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00107

Appendix A 1 2 MR. MARZULLO: Good evening. My name is Dominic 3 Marzullo and I am proud to have worked with the men and women of 4 Indian Point as a designer for over 30 years. At the present 5 time, I am a business agent representing the diligent, hard 6 workers and union members. Knowing the benefits of Indian Point 7 on our community, I fully support license renewal. Indian Point 8 produces 2000 Mw of clean, emission free electricity and is a 9 critical economic engine for the lower Hudson Valley responsible 1 08-a-EC/ 10 for more than $700 million in annual regional economic activity. SO/SR 11 The New York State Independent System Operator noted that the 12 closure of Indian Point's reactors would result in an immediate 13 violation of the reliability standards. Given that on a typical 14 day Indian Point provides up to 30% of the power used in New 15 York City and the surrounding region. It is critical to keep 16 Indian Point online. In these tough economic times, I also know 17 the consequences for closing Indian Point would have to our 18 community. This would include job losses of over 100,000 19 workers and lost wages amounting in the billions. Finally, any 20 potential alternatives laid out to replace Indian Point do not 21 match the commonsense test. Windmills and solar panels simply 108-b-AL/ 22 cannot replace the base-load power produced by the plant. Even GI/SR 23 if it could, Westchester residents would not allow them in their 24 backyards. As tonight's hearing also focuses on the December 2010 A-877 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00117
Appendix A 1 environment, please note that it would also take up to five 2 fossil fuel burning plants to equal the power generated by 3 Indian Point. This is bad for our air, our water and our 108-b-AL/ 4 quality of life that we all enjoy as New Yorkers. Indian Point GI/SR contd. 5 is a good neighbor, a good steward of our environment and I urge 6 you to support Indian Point in it's re-licensing. Thank you 7 very much. 8 9 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-878 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00118
Appendix A 1 2 MR. MATTIS: Good afternoon. My name is John Mattis 3 and I've been a proud resident of the town of Cortland for 36 4 years. I'm also the chairman of the town's Zoning Board of 5 Appeals. But more importantly, I'm a member of the town's 6 Economic Challenge Committee. The committee is responsible for 7 assisting small business owners, promoting economic development 109-a-SO 8 issues and ensuring economics are part of the town's future 9 planning process. As an advocate for those small-business 10 owners, I can tell you that closing Indian Point would be a 11 devastating action for them. As well as the residents of 12 Cortland, like me, who depend on these local businesses for many 13 goods and services as well as feeding the tax base, which 14 includes the school district. Businesses and residents alike 15 depend upon Indian Point for its low-cost reliable energy, the 16 jobs provided by the site, the taxes paid by Entergy, the 109-b-EC/ EP 17 support of our community programs, as well as the emergency 18 planning technical expertise we have received being a close 19 neighbor of the site. 20 We hear many negatives about Indian Point in the 21 media. But we never hear the positives associated with the 109-c-SE/ 22 site, which is a shame. Entergy and the workers at Indian Point so 23 have been good neighbors to all of us. And in difficult times, 24 as we are facing now, neighbors stick together. This community December 2010 A-879 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00119
Appendix A 1 will not survive without Indian Point. Look across the river at 2 Rockland County, if you want to see what happens to a 3 neighborhood, to a school district, when a power plant leaves 4 you. It's devastating. Your taxes increase dramatically and 5 the higher your taxes move, the more hard-working residents will 109-c-SE/ 6 take flight and leave the area, leaving those behind with an so contd. 7 even greater financial burden to carry. There a lot of people 8 here today who do not live here and yet they're telling us how 9 to live our lives. For years, they have spoken of the 10 devastation Indian Point would cause. Yet, it is some of their 11 very greedy Wall Street donors who have destroyed this region. 12 In closing, I' 11 say to those of you who oppose the 13 re-licensing of this plant, if you are successful, God forbid, 14 and this plant is not re-licensed, I invite you to move here. 109-d-SO/ 15 Move in this area so that you can share in our economic SR 16 devastation. So you can share in our runaway taxes. So you can 17 share in our regional brownouts and our regional blackouts. 18 Thank you . 19 20 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-880 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00120

Appendix A 1 2 DR. MCCANN: Good afternoon. My name is Dr. Daniel and 3 I'm the superintendent of schools for the Hendrick Hudson School 4 District. The district encompasses many of the communities 5 surrounding Indian Point. Including Buchanan, Verplanck, 6 Krugers, Montrose, Cortland Manor, Croton and part of the city 7 of Peekskill. Many of these residents were students themselves 8 of the Hendrick Hudson school's and they send their children, if 9 not their grandchildren, to our school's. We strive for 10 excellence by ensuring every student receives a quality 11 education and that includes providing a balanced view of the 12 world. Encompassing all opinions and ideas, in such a way, or I 13 should say, that has not always been a case in a debate over the 14 future of Indian Point. In fact, Indian Point's story is a rich 15 part of the region's history and certainly a large part of its 16 growth and success as a thriving community. The site remains a 17 considerable component in the economic expansion of the area 111-a-SO 18 because Indian Point provides a firm financial foundation upon 19 which we maintain and continuously evolve a well respected 20 school district, a homeowner's main yardstick for measuring the 21 current viability and future value of a home. Those men and 22 women who tolled on the construction of the two Indian Point 23 plants remain in the area and laid down roots. 24 Today, area residents are operating the site, guardin~ 111-b-SO/ SR NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-882 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00122

Appendix A 1 MR. MCCORMICK: I'm John McCormick and I'm speaking for 2 the Center for Environment Commerce and Energy where I'm a 3 volunteer consultant. When people ask, well what does the 4 Center represent, we like to say we're speaking for asthmatic 5 children. I want to thank the NRC for this opportunity make the 6 presentation and I want to compliment Lance, you certainly do 7 run a tight ship, sir. I want to focus specifically on the 8 Environmental Impact Statement at page 8-16 in lines 9-17. I' 11 9 read just a small portion of it. Replacement power required 10 during a 42-week outage could increase air quality effects 11 depending upon the location and characteristics of generation 12 units to replace Indian Point's 2 and 3. 13 Now of course, that 42-week outage is related to the 14 outage required if Indian Point was required to put in cooling 15 towers or -- to change its cooling system. But, I use that 42-112-a-AL/ AQ/EC 16 week outage as a subtext for the much larger question, which is 17 permanent outage if in fact NRC does not grant there-licensing 18 of Units 2 and 3. One of the advantages I have in speaking 19 later in the program is that I get to agree with everyone who 20 supports re-licensing. Now, it's really a question of what is 21 available in the city of New York to provide New York's power on 22 any given time. If you took all the capacity that New York City 23 has available to keep its lights on, you're talking about 12,600 24 Mw. That includes Indian Points 2 and 3. So, if you take that December 2010 A-885 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00125
Appendix A 1 out, you're looking at 10,500 Mw. The impact statement doesn't 2 really look at the very specifics of what would be the energy 112-a-AL/ 3 demand on a peak hour. So, I looked at 2007. August 8th, in AQ/EC contd. 4 fact. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the peak load for New 5 York City or Zone J, as the New York ISO calls it, was about 6 11,000 Mw. 7 So again, if you took Indian Point off-line, New York 8 City couldn't meet its own supply of electricity. But, if you 9 put everything online, equipment that was running at two o'clock 10 on August gth, you're looking at power plants that are 30 and 40 11 years old, they're small peaking units. But, they all burn 12 natural gas. So, we're seeing an increase of oxides of nitrogen 13 at a peak time during which is probably an air inversion and we 14 see deteriorating air quality. 15 So, it's a combination then of the ozone coming from 112-b-AL/ 16 the plants that would run if Indian Point was also supplying AQ/EC 17 energy and that's about five tons of oxides of nitrogen at two 18 o'clock in the afternoon. Now, you add the additional oxides of 19 nitrogen from units that would have to come online to replace 20 Indian Point's 2 and 3 and you're looking at almost 10 tons the 21 oxides of nitrogen at two o'clock in the afternoon at a peak 22 period. This is what is the problem, there is not the capacity 23 to replace Indian Point's 2 and 3 and if you ran everything that 24 you had, you still wouldn't meet load, but you're increasing the NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-886 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00126
Appendix A 1 nox emissions. Therefore, you're exacerbating the ozone problem 2 and you're hurting the children who are asthmatic and certainly 3 the elderly as well. Thank you for your time. I ' 11 just 4 conclude by saying that this impact statement is incomplete if 5 it doesn't really take apart what is the demand at a peak hour? 6 What kind of increased air pollution at that peak hour on a 7 typical day in say July or August. Thank you. 8 9 December 2010 A-887 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00127

For instance, in a study by Synapse Energy Economics. Inc., dat.ed November 3, 2003 and entitled, The Impact of convettlng tlw Cooliog systems at lndian Point Units 2 and 3 on Electrical System Reliability (attached herelo as Exhibrt D), Synapse finds that New York etectricity generators. 112-f-AL/AQ particularly in~dty generators, have excess capacity which would supp!an'l-contd. capacity losses at Indian Poin! if Indian Point were brough1 offiine. Similarly, in an August 2002 study by the TRC Environmental Group entitled, Entergy Nuclear Indian Poinl2. t.t..Cand Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, u. c Emissions Avoidence Sfud.v (the "TRC Report"), TRG concluded that "it is rea-sonable to assume that the majorlty of lost output [{if 1nclian Point were bmughl offline)! would be m.:tde up by increased generation of unils neare'St to the New York CityMieslchester load pocket." ln<:reas:ing Air Pollution Without Indian PQint The TRC F{eport further found lhat, if Indian Point is brought offline, !he air quality in New York would decrease dramat.1calfy.

Appendix A Draft SPOES Pe~mlt Hinders IP Non-Air-Polluting Electricity Several condif1ons of the DEC's Draft SPDES Permit for Indian Point 2 and 3 significantly limit Indian Point's ability to generate electricity for the Slale of New York. For example, Special Condition 28 of tt1e Draft Permit requires the constn.mtion of cooling towers. NYSDEC issued a draft SPDES permit for IP1. IP2, and !P3 in 2.003 that, among other condltions, requires the design and, if appropriate, the insta11ation of dosed-cycle ..cooling systems for IP2 and IP3 jf the slte seeks and receives from NRC license rf:mewals for IP2 and :IP3. The Genter understands that. under conservative estirnat~s. *t would lake approximately 10 months of Indian Point being offline for .a closed-cycle cooling 112-h-AL/RG systern to he installed The Center further understands that the costs ofinstaliing cooling to-.vers are sufficiently prohibitive so that lnd~an Poinfs owners may elect to shutdown the p!i?mts ralher than invest in the retrofit E.i!her w{ly, the results will be d?vast.ating in terms of the po!lutiorHelated heaith effects wheJ'l New York's non-clean burning plants scramble to replace the power lost by Indian
.. Poult 2 and 3. For this reason. the Center ob;ec:ts to aoy provision of the Draft SPDES Permit for Indian Polnt 2. and 3 that imposes any significant limit on the facilities' abilil'y io generate c!ean-burnln9 electricity.
Conclusion The Center supports the 20-year Ucense Renewal for the Indian Point nuclear power plant locaied in Buchanan, New York. We :suppori this renewal because the facility ls a positive stwcture for mitigating ground level air pollution, 112-i-SR global warming and environmental injwstice 7 1 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-894 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00134
Appendix A 1 2 MR. MCDONALD: My name is Norris McDonald. I'm the 3 founder and president of the Center for Environment, Commerce 4 and Energy. Also our outreach arm, the African-American 5 Environmentalists Association. We obviously support the renewal 6 of the license. We're an environmental organization and we 7 support it. But let me also admit one thing here. We also love 8 Indian Point. I love Indian Point. I love more than that, and 9 as a matter of fact for the record, I would 1 ike for the NRC to 113-a-SR 10 consider putting love into the record for this power plant. 11 Love indeed. Not only do we love the nuclear power plant that 12 is Indian Point, we also love green jobs. You're probably 13 hearing a lot about green jobs now. Well, we already have green 14 jobs at Indian Point. We already have numerous green jobs at 15 Indian Point. So, we love Indian Point. We love the green 16 jobs. We love and we want license renewal. Very specifically, 17 though, the report is excellent too. Love this report. Great 18 reading. I suggest you thumb through it and read it often. As 19 far as the fish analysis, we think that was on the point. The 20 environmental benefits of fishing in the Hudson River are great. 21 There's no harm to the fish from the nuclear power plant. 113-b-AE/ AL/EJ 22 As a matter of fact, poison run off and other issues 23 are definitely more detrimental to the Hudson River than Indian 24 Point. When the issue of the cooling tower comes up, we have December 2010 A-895 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00135
Appendix A
,
1 national issues that we re addressing, 316(b) and some other 2 issues that will come up. Well, we really have pay attention to 3 that because basically, if cooling towers have to be built, 4 that's basically a no-action alternative, in our opinion. When 5 it comes to the alternatives, the report did an excellent job of 113-b-AE/ AL/EJ 6 putting together the analysis of the alternatives: the contd. 7 renewables, the wind, even conservation, supercritical boilers. 8 You might even want to take a look at ultra-supercritical 9 boilers. But, no matter what you look at, and the four boilers 10 that they recommended for that, still could not replace the 11 capacity of Indian Point. So, that's something you want to 12 look at. We have a concern about the lack of environmental 13 justice in the generic GEIS, the generic portion. It's not 14 included, so there's not a framework, in our opinion, an 113-c-EJ/ 15 excellent guidance for addressing environmental justice. We GE 16 would hope the NRC would reconsider that. We know some of the 17 history of the atomic licensing safety board. But because 18 there's not a guidance at the generic level, then we think that 19 maybe that leads to an inadequacy at the specific EIS components 20 and for the record we have a lot of that information included 21 here. The percentages of smog components that impact 22 communities in the inner cities. You know the asthma incidences 113-d-AQ/ GL/SR 23 of that. Another interesting component in the report was the 24 global warming section. We really liked that section and the NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-896 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00136
Appendix A 1 effects it would have on the river. Really dangerous impacts. 2 Increasing rising river level. Increasing temperature. We have 3 the same concerns there that we have in the inner cities when 4 cooking up a hotter smog from global warming. So, global 5 warming is a huge issue and in our opinion, the global warming 113-d-AQ/ GL/SR 6 threats to the Hudson River are much greater than any possible contd. 7 threat that Indian Point can have. In these times, we should 8 never talk about closing anything. So, we love Indian Point. 9 We love your green jobs.

Additionally, Indian Point provtdes reliable energy withoul contributing pollutants that exacerbate asthma, In order to reduc the levels of impingement and entrainment of Hudson Rwer fish, the Department of Environmental Conservation's ("DEC") Draft SPDES Permit could substantialfy limlt the ability of lndtan Point 2 and 3 to generate electricity, and may even lead to the closure of the faciJi!ies, Any substantial reduction in the amount of electricity generated by ,Indian Point 2 ano 3 will spark demand fur replacement electridty frorn nea(by power plants. As 113-g-AE/AL/AQ production at these fossil-fuel plants increases, the air quality in and around these plants will further deteriorate, causing a spike in the incidences of respiratory and r.:ardiQVascular dise'ases in the communities where these plants are based.

This is a group of people that made Christmas happen 14 for 2000 poor families across the state of New York. 114-a-SE 15 Now everyone can stand up here and talk about the 16 environmental issues, that's not my place to comment.

I'm the president of New York Teamsters Joint Council-5 16. The Teamsters Joint Council-16, along with its 120,000 6 working men and women in the greater New York area, strongly 7 supports the of the Indian Point Energy Center. Our members 8 work at Indian Point and live in the surrounding neighborhoods 9 with their families of Indian Point. Teamsters Joint Council-16 10 believe that this plant is 100% safe. Re-licensing Indian Point 11 Energy Center is the right move for New York's union workers. 12 Outside of it being the backbone of the downstate regions clean 115-a-SA/ SE/SO 13 and affordable electricity supply, Indian Point employs 14 thousands of highly skilled workers, including hundreds of 15 unionized workers. In addition to scientists, physicists, 16 security and maintenance personnel employed at the plant, there 17 are hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the region who 18 rely on the Indian Point's continued operation for their 19 survival and financial survival. At a time when New Yorkers are 20 struggling and experts predict that the loss of 220,000 jobs in 21 the state over the next two years, now is not the time to drive 22 working men and women to the unemployment lines. 23 Indian Point remaining open and operational is also a 24 necessary component to creating a prosperous green energy 115-b-SO 25 economy. Through our years of work, the Teamsters Joint NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-910 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00150 Appendix A 1 Council-16 and other unions have shown unwavering dedication to 2 building a socially, economically and environmentally just New 3 York City. We have worked to accomplish this by building new 4 power plants. The construction of which creates new jobs, 5 drives the cost of energy down and pumps millions of dollars 6 into local economies. 7 As the government now looks for ways to stimulate our 8 sagging economy, we should encourage considerable investments in 9 new power plants and other clean energy technology. New Yorkers 10 are now faced with a harsh reality. Governor Patterson and 11 state leaders have reached a deal that would cut $1.6 billion in 12 spending from critical priorities, including healthcare, 13 education, human services and economic development. In New York 115-b-SO contd. 14 City, where the collapse of the financial sector has caused a $4 15 billion shortfall, workers are faced with budget cuts totaling 16 hundreds of millions and reduced services and fare hikes on mass 17 transit. In light of these depression like numbers, the 18 Teamsters believe we should be protecting the jobs provided and 19 created by Indian Point, not eliminating them. Thank you for 20 allowing me the opportunity to address this public forum on the 21 concerns of union workers across New York City. The labor 22 community believes that closing down a vital source of clean and 23 affordable energy like Indian Point will jeopardize jobs and 24 drain millions from local governments. It is the hope of December 2010 A-911 NUREG-1437, Supplement 8 OAGI0001367D 00151 Appendix A 1 unionized men and women across the region that we work together 2 to produce a solution that not only protects jobs and encourages 115-b-SO 3 investment, but also ensures a continuous supply of clean, safe contd. 4 and affordable energy for all of New Yorkers. Thank you. 5 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-912 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00152 Appendix A 1 2 3 JOINT COUNCIL No. 16 INTERNATIONAl BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS

MIRANDA: Good afternoon, my name is Rick Miranda 3 and as president and CEO of the Brooklyn Hispanic Chamber of 4 Commerce, I rise today in support of the Indian Point Energy 5 Center. Simply put, re-licensing Indian Point Energy Center is 6 the right move for Brooklyn businesses. Our current economic 116-a-SO/ SR 7 downturn, poses a difficult challenge for business owners. 8 Brooklyn's unemployment rate of 7.4% outpaces Manhattan, Queens 9 and Staten Island and is at its highest level in five years. 10 Revenues for half of Brooklyn's businesses were flat or down 11 last year when compared to 2007. 12 Today, research shows more small business owners sense 13 a bleak outlook for 2009 with roughly half saying they've been 14 adversely affected by the sour credit markets. In 1 ight of 15 these depression type numbers, the last hurdle we should place 16 in front the business owners is the real possibility of higher 17 energy prices. A recent survey ranked energy prices second 18 behind providing affordable health insurance as the most severe 116-b-EC/ 19 problem Brooklyn businesses are facing. And make no mistake so 20 about it, closing Indian Point Energy Center would lead to 21 drastic spikes in energy prices for Brooklyn business owners. 22 New York currently has the highest energy prices in 23 the nation and independent reports have concluded that those 24 prices could increase by over $10,000 a year for businesses if December 2010 A-915 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00155 Appendix A 1 Indian Point is closed. Business owner's should be spending to 2 expand their markets, not to satisfy a volatile energy market. 3 In these uncertain times, we cannot foster a welcoming business 4 climate, where mom and pop stores, young entrepreneurs and 5 family-run businesses are forced to spend precious dollars just 116-b-EC/ 6 to turn the lights on. Unstable energy prices also jeopardize so contd. 7 our organization's mission of advancing the civic, commercial 8 and industrial interest of Brooklyn's Hispanic business owners. 9 Creating an environment where Hispanic business owners can 10 succeed is a key goal of our organization and therefore we must 11 prevent the further energy cost increase. 12 Recognizing these goals, it is essential that the 13 Indian Point Energy Center be re-licensed. We are grateful for 14 the opportunity to address this public forum. We are hopeful 15 that the concerns of the Hispanic business owners in Brooklyn 16 are granted their rightful voice at the decision-making place. 116-c-LR/ SR 17 We urge cooperation by all parties who are served by Indian 18 Point. It is our hope that we could all work together toward a 19 solution that provides reliable stream of clean energy power for 20 all New Yorkers. Thank you very much. 21 22 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-916 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00156 Appendix A 1 2 '*.: .*. v _...;.* ;-:

___ ..------ *._,. 3 4 5 6 7 8 December 2010 A-917 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00157 Appendix A 1 2 MS. MONTAGUE: Good afternoon. Again, my name is 3 Virginia Montague and I'm president of the New York Coalition of 4 100 Black Women. I'm here not necessarily as a representative 5 speaking on behalf of the organization, but in our name its 6 black women. We are advocates for black women, their children 7 and their families. I am also here to give rise, to give voice 8 to those who have woefully, we believe, under-represented in 9 this ongoing debate and that is the children and families of 10 Harlem. On behalf of these two Harlem constituencies, and 11 children and families throughout New York City, communities of 12 color, I stand here today in support of re-licensing Indian 13 Point Energy Center. I would like to first put a face on these 14 consumers of this energy. 15 We've already experienced a lifetime of bad 16 environmental decisions and cannot withstand additional threats 17 to our health and safety. Harlem is already home to one-third 118-a-AQ/ EJ/SR 18 of Manhattan's eight bus depots, one of the two sewage treatment 19 plants and both a garbage truck depot and parking lot. There 20 are seven local truck routes from 96th St. to 125th St. alone. 21 An estimated 25% of the thousands of trucks running through 22 Harlem each day violate state emission standards. In addition, 23 in nearby Bronx and Queens, there's an extremely high 24 concentration of fossil fuel burning power plants, which pollute NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-918 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00158 Appendix A 1 our neighborhoods with carbon dioxide and other pollutants. 2 As this debate has taken shape, these neighborhoods 3 have received no reassurance that any power plant built to 4 replace Indian Point, will not once again end up in or near our 5 neighborhood. These environmental policies of the past have 6 already taken a severe toll and Harlem has had one of the 7 highest asthma rates in the country with one in four children 8 suffering from the disease. 9 In addition, asthma causes more hospitalization among 118-a-AQ/ EJ/SR 10 Harlem children than any other disease and is among the leading contd. 11 cause of missed school days. The picture becomes even more 12 bleaker when we realize that asthma is also one of the leading 13 causes of death among our children. It is clear that continuing 14 down a path where public policy places further air polluting 15 power plants in our neighborhoods cannot and will not be 16 allowed. Although the youth of Harlem faces a myriad of 17 challenges, we must also remember that single women with 18 children in Harlem also deserve a voice in this debate. The 19 impact of higher priced fuel and energy has pushed poor families 20 led by single women with children to the brink. Harlem families 21 are spending and increased amount of their income to keep pace 118-b-EC/ 22 with rising energy costs. EJ/SR 23 Whether it's through high home heating oil bills, 24 which this year estimated to reach $2000 a year, to electricity December 2010 A-919 NUREG-1437, Supplement OAGI0001367D 00159 Appendix A 1 bills, which this year jumped 58% over last year. We find more 2 poor families are having to choose between which bills to pay 3 and have little left over for educating their children, health 4 care or even savings accounts. It is not just in the form of 5 increased heating oil and electric bills that poor families pay 6 for high energy costs, these families are hit once again at the 7 supermarket, the laundromat and even transit. But when subway 118-b-EC/ EJ/SR 8 and bus fares increase, in communities where 38% of the families contd. 9 live below, the energy cost remains stable. So we believe 10 shutting down Indian Point Energy Center without viable and 11 reliable energy production already in place will cause energy 12 prices to soar and place these already at risk families into 13 further jeopardy. Again, we do indeed support the re-licensing 14 of this energy plant. 15 16 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-920 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00160 Appendix A 1 2 3 ML090680019 4 ML091680294 5 6 Westchester VJl1l1:~n: !v\. 5\'10l.'H!C-:l- [L County Assocl<.nk;p 9-;'(!f.i(i{fflt 7 8 9 ../-.?,/..:? / ~/(.} ~/ / 10 Mr S3J::uel J.

MOONEY: My name is Bill Mooney, President of the Westchester 2 County Association and I come to you today in support of the 3 Indian Point re-licensing by the NRC. Focusing on the long-term 4 region needs of our region, the issue of energy is one of the 119-g-EC/ SO/SR 5 most identified issues most often identified by our members. 6 The availability of affordable, reliable base-load power is 7 critical to creating jobs, stimulating investment and growing 8 our economy. Indian Point does that obviously. Not only does 119-h-AQ 9 Indian Point produce over 2000 Mw of reliable base-load power, 10 but it produces it in an emissions-free manner. It's also 11 responsible for an economic impact approaching three quarters 119-i-SO 12 $1 billion, a huge economic engine. And also responsible for 13 more the 1000 jobs. In these tight economic times, those facts 14 speak clearly for themselves. Indian Point operator Entergy is 15 also an important presence in our community. Donating millions 16 of dollars to schools, health care facilities and other worthy 17 causes. Indian Point is also important steward of the 18 environment helping New York with the distinction of having one 119-j-SE/ 19 of a lowest per capita carbon emissions count in the region. SR 20 In the nation, as a matter of fact. As you continue your 21 deliberations, I ask you to look at the facts carefully when 22 evaluating. Using a sober and reasonable approach, I'm sure 23 you' 11 agree that Indian Point remains a critical component of 24 the region's energy supply, which provides the economic and NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-922 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00162 Appendix A 1 environmental benefits that our region deserves. Thank you for} 119-j-SE/ SR contd. 2 the opportunity in sharing my thoughts. 3 4 December 2010 A-923 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00163 Appendix A 1 2 DR. MOORE: Thanks very much for the opportunity to 3 present on behalf of New York area this evening. My name is 4 Patrick Moore. I'm a cofounder of Greenpeace. Former leader of 5 Greenpeace and Chair of the Greenpeace Greenspirit Strategies, 6 Ltd. and adviser to New York Affordable Reliable Electricity 7 Alliance. I'd just like to make three key points to start. 8 First, nuclear energy is reliable and affordable. This is 9 proven through 50 years of history that it has been a reliable 10 source of power that has given 24/7 electricity to people in the 11 United States and has done so at a reasonable cost. Nuclear 12 power is safe. Again, in 50 years of history, no member of the 120-a-EC/ 13 public has ever been harmed by a nuclear power plant in the SA 14 United States. Even Three-Mile Island, which is always 15 mentioned as a terrible accident, was a bad mechanical failure. 16 But nobody was damaged because the radiation was contained 17 within the containment dome that was built by engineers to do 18 that in the event of an accident. In addition, it's safe to 19 work in a nuclear plant not to just live near one. 20 A study of 54,000 nuclear workers by Columbia 21 University published in 2004 showed that they have fewer cancers 120-b-HH 22 and live longer than their counterparts in the general 23 population. This is just a plain fact. That's a lot of workers 24 who are working in nuclear plants every day of their lives. NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-924 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00164 Appendix A 1 Nuclear energy has strong environmental benefits and that's 2 really the main reason why I'm associated with this project. To 3 make sure that we continue to build nuclear power because it is 4 good for the environment compared to the alternatives, 5 especially compared to fossil fuels, which are making our air 6 dirty and giving us health problems. That is why the American 7 Lung Association supports nuclear energy. The American Lung 8 Association is concerned about air you're breathing. They're 9 totally focused our health. They support nuclear power because 10 they know it's superior to burning fossil fuels. It would take 11 at least five large natural gas plants, and I mean large plants, 120-c-AL/ AQ/EC 12 to replace Indian Point. Nobody would fool themselves into 13 thinking that if Indian Point was shut down, you don't need to 14 replace the power. That power is running the subways in New 15 York. It's running the trains that go into the City every day 16 w i t h peop 1e in mass t r ans i t . It's running the hospitals. It's 17 running the apartment buildings. It's running people's lives 18 and keeping them with heat and keeping them with cooling. You 19 cannot just shut that down unless you replace it with something. 20 Whenever I'm asked, well if Indian Point was shut down, what do 21 you replace it? I always say that's simple, another nuclear 22 plant. Because that would be the best thing to build. 23 Not long ago, Robert Kennedy Jr. of Riverkeeper was 24 talking about the work he's done over the years on bringing back 120-d-OS December 2010 A-925 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00165 Appendix A 1 the health of the Hudson River. He was talking about how back 2 in 1966 this river was dead for 20 mile stretches because of 120-d-OS 3 chemicals from the chemical industries. That the environmental contd 4 movement, I give him some credit for being in that, helped 5 it up. Then he said, very recently, quote today it's the 6 richest body of water in the North Atlantic region producing 7 more pounds of fish per acre than any other waterway in the 8 Atlantic Ocean north of the equator unquote. Now, just for 9 convenience sake, he's decided to forget that he said that even 10 though it's the truth, the Hudson River has been brought back to 11 health, and now he's accusing Indian Point of killing the fish 12 in the river. A bi 11 ion fish per year. Well, they say a 13 billion fish when they really are talking about fish eggs. 120-e-AE 14 There's a big difference between a fish egg and a fish. That 15 plant has a screen on it to prevent fish of any size from coming 16 into it and being harmed. It's true that fish eggs can go in 17 through the intake. If there's a billion fish eggs going 18 through Indian Point every year, imagine how many fish eggs 19 there are in that river. It's only taking a very small portion 20 of the river inside to keep it cool. So this is a totally 21 misleading and phony allegation about the plant killing fish. 22 The fish in the river are healthy. 23 As a matter of fact, there's more striped-bass in 24 there than there has been since they started measuring them. 120-f-AE NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-926 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00166 Appendix A 1 That's one of the reasons why some of the other fish are going 2 down the numbers because the striped-bass are eating them. In 3 addition, there's an over-fishing problem out in the ocean for 4 some of these fish that come in from the sea to spawn. The 5 fisheries people have said that very clearly, that there's an 120-f-AE contd. 6 over-fishing problem. If Riverkeeper is really concerned about 7 the health of the Hudson River, they should focus on trying to 8 stop the over-fishing that's going on if they think there are 9 some fish stocks which are damaged rather than using Indian 10 Point as a scapegoat. Because it's not causing any problem for 11 the fish out in the river. 12 MR. RAKOVAN: Sir, if you could complete, please. 13 DR. MOORE: I should probably stop now. I have a lot 14 to say here. 15 MR. RAKOVAN: We can take it all in written form if 16 you ' d 1 i ke . 17 DR. MOORE: It is. It's in written form if anybody 18 wou 1d 1 i ke a copy of t hi s .

MUSEGAAS: Well, I think I need to start out by 3 saying that this is probably the first time in my memory that 4 Fred Dacimo and I have agreed on something regarding Indian 5 Point and that is we agree with Fred that the impacts on fish 6 that was concluded by the NRC, that the impacts on bluefish are 7 large. We think that's wrong as well. So, interesting day 8 indeed for the Indian Point case. On the other hand, we think 9 that the rest of the impacts on numerous other Hudson River fish 123-a-AE 10 species are actually large and so basically we believe the 11 reverse is true. We think they got wrong in the bluefish 12 because the impacts are not proven and they got it wrong on the 13 rest of the fish species that are of concern because we think 14 the impacts are out there and are proven. I ' 1 1 j us t give a 15 couple of brief comments on the fish and on nuclear waste 16 concerns and then we will be filing detailed written comments in 17 the middle of March that will go into much more detail on these 18 issues. 19 As far as the impacts of the once-through cooling 20 system at Indian Point on Hudson River fish species, Indian 21 Point's once antiquated once-through cooling system kills 22 billions of fish eggs and larvae every year through entrainment 123-b-AE 23 and impingement. This contributes to the overall decline of 24 Hudson River fish species. Riverkeeper commissioned a report of December 2010 A-935 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00175 Appendix A 1 fish biologists last year in the summer that found that 10 out 2 of 13 Hudson River signature species were in decline. We found, 3 and I think the state of New York, the Natural Resources Defense 123-b-AE 4 Council, other environment organizations, all have found that contd. 5 Indian Point's once-through cooling system contributes to these 6 declines. Entergy's biologists and apparently NRC's biologists 7 seemed to be to be the only ones that disagree with this. In 8 terms of that, I'd 1 ike to backtrack a 1 i ttle and just also say 9 we disagree with the NRC's preliminary findings that the range 10 of environmental impacts would not preclude license renewal. 11 Wee find it hard to understand since when you're looking at the 12 fish impacts for example, the NRC admits that they're not sure 123-c-AE 13 what the impact are that they could range from small to large. 14 This is 1 ike saying the weather forecast for tomorrow is, it's 15 going to rain or maybe not. Or the range of impacts, on a scale 16 of 1 to 10, and it could be 1 and it could be 10. To us that is 17 not a conclusion that's an inconclusive statement that doesn't 18 really help us determine what the environmental impacts of this 19 plan are on the Hudson River. So, we disagree with that. I ' 11 20 move on, I know my time is short. 21 As far as spent fuel nuclear waste storage at Indian 22 Point, the NRC continues to rely on an outdated generic 23 environmental study that is 13 years old. Has not been updated 123-d-GE/ SF 24 in 13 years, this is from 1996. It does not deal with NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-936 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00176 Appendix A 1 groundwater leaks. Does not deal with spent-fuel pools leaking 2 and refuses to assess any impacts or potential impacts of either 3 accidents or sabotage or terrorist attack on spent-fuel pools or 123-d-GE/ SF 4 dry cask storage. That is unacceptable to us. We disagree with contd. 5 that. We think there should be a site-specific assessment of 6 environmental impacts caused by this nuclear waste storage. 7 There are 1500 tons of nuclear waste on this site right now. 8 There will be another 1000 tons produced at the site if the 9 plant is re-licensed. There is nowhere to put this waste. 10 There's nowhere to store it. It's going to pile up on the 11 Hudson River. It's going to sit there in leaking spent-fuel 123-e-RW/ 12 pools and sit there in dry casks that are lined up by the side SF 13 of the hill like bowling pins. You can see it from the Hudson 14 if you're on a boat. We don't think that's safe. We don't 15 think it's wise. It looks like they may be almost out of time. 16 Our concerns about spent-fuel are well recorded. We've been 17 talking about this issue for years. We would encourage the NRC 18 to, if they are planning on updating the GEIS, we think that 19 should happen sooner rather than later. The fact that they 123-f-GE 20 continue to rely on an outdated GEIS is just simply, basically 21 r i d i cu 1ous . 22 Just one note -- I want to note on the restoration 23 alternatives that Drew talked about as one of the alternatives 123-g-AL 24 to once-through cooling. Indian Point is located in the December 2010 A-937 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00177 Appendix A 1 jurisdiction of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, the federal 2 court system. The Riverkeeper 2 case, which was decided in the 3 Second Circuit basically found that to comply with the Clean 4 Water Act and to comply with Section 316(b), which has to do 5 with cooling water systems at power plants, you are no longer 123-g-AL contd. 6 allowed to use restoration measures or mitigation measures to 7 offset the impacts of the cooling system. So, I'd be interested 8 to hear more information about that as to how they think that is 9 a viable alternative since it is potentially illegal in New York 10 to propose that type of solution. Thank you. 11 12 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-938 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00178 Appendix A 1 2 3 T(.~ \~/h~:m1 ~ t ~*.;1~:y cc~n({~t'fL, \iy ~~~m~: i:-*. ~*'l:d~~',:n \1~.-sl~R~J::_ ! ;Jn; ;J.n.

NICKLAS: Good evening. Thank you for having me. My name is 2 Donald Nicklas. I'm a Local 7 Carpenter. I have no doubt that 3 obviously everybody who's come here tonight before you has 4 spoken from their heart and firmly believe everything that 5 they've told you. Although I am definitely an advocate for the 127 -a-SA/ SR 6 re-licensing of IP-2 and 3 reactor sites, you know, I do believe 7 some of the things they're saying. Sure, we can do better with 8 our spent fuel. But having worked at the reactor before, I can 9 assure you that I personally feel completely safe. I would 10 actually take a trip there for my family to see it if that were 11 actually allowed. 12 One of the things that has not been mentioned tonight 13 is no Nuclear Regulatory Commission, no Army Corps of Engineers 14 nor any other committee that can be brought together to 15 determine any kind of environmental impact when it's, as it 16 relates to the production of energy for our needs, is going to 127 -b-EC/ 17 come back and submit any kind of publishing that has a zero so 18 impact. Let us not be naive. Anything that we do to produce 19 any kind of energy that we need from now into the future is 20 going to have some sort of impact. So we have to look at the 21 big picture and say which is the lesser of the evils. 22 Personally I feel nuclear energy is the lesser of the evils. 23 we want to talk about leaching of waste into our drinking water, 127-c-AL/ SR 24 nobody has come up here and talked about the effects of methyl NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-942 December 2010 OAGI0001367D 00182 Appendix A 1 butyl ethylene in our drinking water. If anyone doesn't know 2 what I'm talking about, that's in all of our gasoline. Leaching 3 from every gas station into all of our drinking water supplies. 4 Nobody has come up here and mentioned that once. Everybody 5 wants to sit up here and bash Indian Point and no one wants to 6 talk about where we stop and get our gasoline. I don't 7 understand that. I know that everybody's very passionate about 127-c-AL/ SR 8 this issue. I'm pretty passionate about it to. I'm currently contd. 9 laid off and I'm going back to work next week at Indian Point. 10 So I'm thankful, and sure, maybe I am a little biased because 11 I'm going to be employed once again there at the reactor for the 12 refueling outage. But, you've got to understand this is 13 definitely the future of our energy. I know a lot of you don't 14 agree with that. I do. I appreciate you listening to what I 15 have to say. Thank you. 16 17 December 2010 A-943 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 OAGI0001367D 00183 Appendix A 1 2 3 FOR THE LlC:F.ii'<JSE HENEWAL OP !NDlAN POINT UNrr:.; 2. -~"JD 3, BucH:r'""'AN, NE'N Yoi-!.~ submitt;o.d to thu l)nited St<1.te~ Nudea1' Regubtoq: Commission 4 NUREG-1437, Supplement 38 A-944 December 2010 OAGI0001367D_00184 Appendix A NEW YORKSfATii DlU'ART.M.ElVf 01' ENVU<:OJ~MF."'"'Al, CONSE.RVA'HON COM.Ml;:,"\l'lS ON THE NRC ~TAf'F'S DRA!l'f'SI.lYf'LIJMf'NTI\L ENVH<ONMENTAl-1'-'iP/>CTSTATI:l\.fF.~\Il fOR TH.E UCL"JS£ R.ENEW.>\L Of LiVDlAN POi ~'.iT UNiT$ 2.

- 11. ABSTRACT (200 words or less)
This supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) has been prepared in response to an application submitted to the NRC by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy), Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC {all applicants will be jointly referred to as Entergy) to renew the operating licenses for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 {IP2 and IP3) for an additional 20 years under 10 CFR Part 54, "Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants." This SEIS includes the NRC staff's analysis which considers and weighs the environmental impacts of the proposed action, the environmental impacts of alternatives to the proposed action, and mitigation measures available for reducing or avoiding adverse impacts. It also includes the NRC staff's recommendation regarding the proposed action.
The NRC staff's recommendation is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewals for IP2 and IP3 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on {1) the analysis and findings in the GElS, {2) the environmental report and other information submitted by Entergy, {3) consultation with other Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies, (4) the NRC staff's own independent review, and {5) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and in response to the draft SEIS.
