Response from "Comment on NRC Documents" Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by Fernando De Hoyos (fernandodehovos.l0(@gmail.com) on Friday, September 14, 2012 at 12:15:13 DocumentTitle: Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants:

Supplement 38 Regarding Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 - Draft Report for Comment NUREG-1437, Supplement 38, Volume 4, Draft Report).

Comments: To the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, My name is Fernando De Hoyos and I live in Manhattan, which is 35 miles from the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan, NY. I am writing to ask you not to approve Entergy's bid to re-license Indian Point's two nearly 40-year old nuclear power reactors when their operating licenses expire in 2013 and 2015.

Our area does not need the 2,000 megawatts of electricity Indian Point produces. Documents show that this energy is now being used only as a backup to current need, with most production being sold out of market. There are already conservation plans, energy upgrades, and new sources planned to join the area's grid well in advance of 2015, which a new report by NYS's Independent Systems Operator confirms will more than make up for Indian Point's production. For a cleaner, more sustainable future, NYS should continue to look toward renewable energy, which will create thousands of new jobs. A 2011 Columbia University study recently showed the great potential NYC has for solar rooftops to contribute to this effort.

There are so many other reasons this plant should be closed: more dangerous and poorly contained spent fuel than at Fukushima; an evacuation plan called "inadequate" by a 2003 report commissioned by then Gov. Pataki; billions of fish and larvae killed each year in the plant's water cooling process; inadequate fire safety and public address systems; and so many more. Please consider all these facts and do not approve Entergy's re-licensing bid for Indian Point.

Sincerely, Fernando De Hoyos organization:
