/7 c2&/3 Name: Joni Mercado /K //&6e Address: 266 Canopus Hollow Road Putnam Valley, NY 10579 er, General Comment The Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant sits atop the Ramapo Fault line. The reactors are very old, built in the early 70's. In 20 years from now, the reactors would be over 60 years old! A lot can change in that amount of time. There presently have been no recent escape-route drills. A human error could cause a dangerous accident.There have been several accidents in the past. There had been a leak into the Hudson River of radioactive material where the rods are stored. The displaced water from the melting glaciers could cause water levels to rise and flood the plant. A similar, unpredictable life-threatening radioactive event could occur liken to the Fukashima disaster.

There isn't a no-fly zone in place to protect it from an airplane attack. If an earthquake should occur, nothing can protect it if the Ramapo Fault should become dangerously active beneath it. The sirens are sometimes in audible where we live. A serious accident could take the lives of millions of people living within the danger zone. For decades we have written and demonstrated for closing the Indian Point Power Plant in Buchanan but our voices, thus far, have fallen on deaf ears. We are not dependent on Entergy for our energy. We can't predict an unexpected disaster.

History has proven that. Please don't put millions of lives at stake, and don't approve 20 more years of this old plant's operation.

Keep in mind many wrong decisions are based on greed for ever-increasing wealth and profit in this competitive society. The Japanese never saw the Fukashima accident coming. Mother Nature's wrath is usually a life-changing, life-taking surprise.

Common sense tells me not to play Russian roulette with our lives. Please decide in favor of closing Entergy's Nuclear Power Plant!SUNSI Review Complete Template = ADM -013 E-RIDS= ADM-03 Add= D.
