Energia Mia U.)General Comment 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.

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.Nuke Free Texas SUNSI Review Complete Template = ADM -013 E-RIDS= ADM -03 Add= https ://www. fdms.gov/fdms-web-agency/component/contentstreamer?objectld=09000064...
