Monday, July 16, 2012 1:55 PM Rulemaking Comments Comments on PRM-50-104, Docket ID NRC-2012-0046 July 17, 2012 (1:35 pm)OFFICE OF SECRETARY RULEMAKINGS AND ADJUDICATIONS STAFF The on-going events at Fukushima demonstrate that nuclear power disasters can have sustained and far reaching effects. A major concern associated with Fukushima and other nuclear disasters is the evacuation of affected populations.

In the United States, emergency planning for nuclear emergencies has remained largely static since 1980, when regulations pertaining to emergency planning were initially enacted after the Three Mile Island accident.

These plans are outdated and do not adequately protect the health and safety of United States citizens.Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima.

There are a number of nuclear reactors in the US on earthquake fault lines. We need all the evacuation space and planning we can manage The longer our experience with nuclear power goes on, the more we learn about the hazards and that our emergency planning has been inadequate to meet what REALLY happens when these things let go..Sincerely, William Collins Tucson, AZ 85732 US
