129 Wittenberg Road Bearsville, NY, 12409 Government Agency Type: Local General Comment I am writing with the hope that the Indian Point nuclear reactors can be decommissioned NOW!

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.

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.

The NRC should also acknowledge that the Indian Point reactors stand on an earthquake fault line and that these ancient reactors would like melt down if an earthquake occurs.

The NRC should also take into consideration that the Indian Point reactors are far TOO OLD! They were not built to last this long, patches and upgrades notwithstanding. They should have been decommissioned years ago.

What will become of the spent nuclear fuel rods that are a clear and present danger to everyone within 50 miles of every reactor in the world? The NRC has NO CLUE!

Ultimately, every nuclear reactor must be shut down and decommissioned as soon as possible. Every one of them is a ticking time bomb. If we have a Fukashima incident here, the entire NRC should be assigned to not only clean up the mess, but LIVE within 10 miles of the problem they have ignored for the sake of preserving the profits of corrupt and fascist corporations like Entergy!
