[Ti Organization: Energia Mia Fri C/D General Comment I am commenting on the proposed re-licensing of Units 1 & 2 at the South Texas Nuclear Project (STP)
Docket ID NRC-2010-0375. These reactors should not be re-licensed at this time because of the following concerns.
I. Units 1 & 2, which are 24 and 25 years old, are licensed to run for 40 years - until 2027-28. We should wait 14 years until 2027 and determine what shape they are in at that time before considering re-license.
Already the reactors are showing signs of age that should concern anyone wishing to avoid accidents at nuclear power plants:
- a. Fire in the reactor 2 main transformer on Jan. 8, 2013
- b. Replacement of the control rod drive mechanisms in both reactors deviate from standard measurements sufficiently that many of them are permanently stuck and unusable
- c. Unit 2 was off-line for 5 winter months, indicating it is no longer reliable
- 2. The expense of old, aging nuclear reactors is too costly to maintain, especially when the marketplace shows clear signs of embracing renewable generation sources and energy efficiency technologies. If the reactors manage to function until 2027, fine. At that time they should be replaced with what's new and affordable in the energy market. Committing to extending their licenses now is not fiscally responsible.
- 3. The South Texas Project is on a list of nuclear plants with a high risk of flooding-related failures. A leaked July 2011 Nuclear Regulatory Commission report labeled "not for public release" deals with flood risk to plants across the country if dams break upstream. The very fact that the agency charged with regulating nuclear plants would label a report of significant import to the public it serves as "not for public release," shows that agency as not a reliable one to decide re-licensing issues. Since the STP is considered at risk for flooding, it should not be re-licensed at this time.
- 4. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has recently ruled as invalid the "waste confidence rule,"
