3. My home lies within 35 miles of the site in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee in Hamilton County where Tennessee Valley Authority operates two nuclear power plants and for which the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has received a license renewal application for an additional 20-year period of operation.
4. The design of the Sequoyah reactors has a particular weakness in its construction which reduces its ability to withstand accidents. Only nine such reactors have ever been completed in the United States. Aging of the plant may only increase the danger.
5. Based on historical experience with nuclear reactors, I believe that these facilities are inherently dangerous. An accident at these nuclear reactors so close to my home could pose a grave risk to my property, health and safety. In particular, I am concerned that if an accident involving release of radioactive material were to occur, I could be killed or become very ill.
6. Therefore, I have authorized Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League to represent my interests in this proceeding as to whether good cause exists for the renewal of the operating licenses to the Tennessee Valley Authority.
