Dear US Nuclear Regulatory Commission:

I am writing to you regarding the extension of the Braidwood Nuclear Generation Station license. I strongly support the extension of the license. The Station is a crucial anchor for both economic development and employment in my Senate District area.

The Braidwood station employs over 800 people in high paying-skilled jobs. The Station contributes hundreds of millions directly into our local economy, supporting local vendors and employing scores of trade union members on regular maintenance projects.

Furthermore, Braidwood is the backbone of our electricity generation in Illinois and in the Midwest. It produces large amounts of energy safely, consistently and cost-effectively. This helps keep Illinois' manufacturing, technology and service industries competitive in global markets and also helps attract new businesses to our area. The plant is also an important component to ensure better air quality in Northern Illinois.

Therefore, I strongly urge your Commission to extend the license under Docket ID NRC-2013-0169.

Sincerely, Sue Rezin State Senator CC:
