Subject:

Please discontinue the granting of "Safety Exemptions" for any systems at Entergy's Indian Point reactor in NY State....

Dear Ms. Gallagher,

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Please discontinue the granting of dangerous "Safety Exemptions" for any systems at Entergy's Indian Point reactor in NY State." The NRC should deny the exemption and require Entergy to comply with the regulations, which were written to protect the plant and the public from the very real risk of a fire that could lead to a meltdown at Indian Point.* In the past, the NRC failed to do an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of the risks and impacts of granting the exemption, including looking at alternatives, such as replacing the insulation.

At a minimum the NRC must conduct a full EIS, look at all alternatives and allow time for public comment.* The NRC should hold a public hearing in the vicinity of Indian Point to fully explain its exemption process, and take public input on Entergy's failure to comply with fire safety regulations that were established over 20 years ago.When considering the results of the disasters that have occurred at various older reactor sites around the world it is unconscionably reckless not to assure that ALL precautions are taken at Indian Point. As you are aware, this aging installation on the lower Hudson River is located on a tectonic fault line, just north of NY City directly in the midst of tens of millions of people. Any failure of Indian Point's older, technologically deficient controls and safety systems pose an immediate threat to the northeastern United States.Please reflect on the basic mission of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and take immediate action.Thank You 7C)Co Steve Mantor ) " 56 Coons Road " E "U Coeymans Hollow, NY 12046 ". .--CC: President Barack Obama SUNSI.
