NRC-2013-0063-DRAFT-0 115 Comment on FR Doc # 2013-10792 3 Submitter Information 5(7/,1013 Name: Peter Cohen Address: 201 east 25th street #8F New York, NY, 10010 General Comment In reference to Docket ID number: NRC-2013-0063.

I am concerned about the safety issues at Indian Point that are being ignored by the NRC and putting millions of New Yorkers in grave danger. Especially in light of the disaster that happened in Japan last year.I encourage the NRC to 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.With great concern, Peter Cohen T--/a ' c- -tn-,3 ..,- C (. e;dcL1-fft-c4D https://H fdms.gov/fdms-web-agency/component/contentstreamer?objectd=0900006481 30878e&for...
