Docket: NRC-2012-0246 Consideration of Environmental Impacts on Temporary Storage of Spent Fuel After Cessation of Reactor Operation Comment On:

NRC-2012-0246-0456 Waste Confidence - Continued Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel; Extension of Comment Period Document:

NRC-2012-0246-DRAFT-1112 Comment on FR Doc # 2013-26726 Submitter Information Name: Grace van Thillo Address: San Clemente, CA, 92672 Email: gracea@earthlink.net General Comment We are grateful that the City Council of San Clemente with its 60,000+ residents; and encouraging nearby Emergency Zone cities, did Approve and Pass their Resolution No. 13-53 requesting that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; D.O.E. and responsible agencies prioritize San Onofre nuclear plants radioactive waste storage and removal, when safe to do so.

The Generic Environmental Impact Statement is inappropriate and should be rejected across the nation; as each nuclear reactor has specific geographic, geologic and population realities. San Onofres unique realities - its sensitive earthquake/tsunami zones; dense surrounding populations; major transportation corridors; and the Department of Navys essential installation of USMC, Camp Pendleton, make such a "generic' statement impossible!

Plus, with our emerging understanding of high burn-up fuel WASTE with its long-term onsite storage and transporting challenges; and "the Department of Energy reports that burnups "as low as 30 GWd/MTU can present performance issues including cladding embrittlement under accident conditions as well as normal

operations," DEMAND specific research and solutions. http://sanonofresafety.org/nuclear-waste/ and http://sti.srs.gov/fulltext/SRNL-STI-2011-00228.pdf NRC Chairman, Allison Macfarlane, recently expressed in an interview - "I encourage countries embarking on nuclear power to make sure that they have a plan for disposal, before they turn on a reactor!"

So eve r-mindful of ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, the D.O.E. or our state MUST locate a suitable remote repository for this waste when its SAFE to transport away from San Onofre. Likewise, to carry out San Clemente's SAFETY MANDATE, with the decommissioning plant in its front yard, the City MUST be financially supported, along with independent expert assistance to be included in the decommissioning process.

Through the years, so-called utility and industry experts talked about safety BUT it has been many informed citizens, the on-going horror of Fukushima, the NRC, the CPUC, GAO & Congressional Investigations, which ALL exposed San Onofres realities - TODAY THE NUCLEAR PLANT IS CLOSED, and we the people are LEFT with the radioactive WASTE!
