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-1198 Comment on FR Doc # 2013-26726 Submitter Information Name: Christopher Calnan General Comment Since there is no viable economic value in re-purposing Nuclear waste,and certainly no recycling of the materials, the cost of operation including waste disposal is not viable. I can recall stating this in 1966 and it is now even more true today. We do not have safe and secure heavy lift technology to remove these materials away from the biosphere (towards the sun) and storage has been the orphan of the industry since its inception.

The duping of the citizenry of the State of Nevada as a site to bury for "long term storage" the waste in salt mines has NOT been thoroughly modeled or studied and is basically flawed as a solution. Other issues such as water storage and onsite rod storage have been nightmares in disguise that due to the Fukushima Japan event are clear and present dangers. Decades of accidents and cover-ups in the " nuclear industry" sanctioned by military predominance must end today. Leaks in waterways like the Columbia River and Three Mile Island incident, are a legacy that is marred at best and still not studied as thoroughly as other more visible accidents in other countries such as Chernobyl,then USSR. Thank our Founding Fathers for the insight to build such a thoughtful constitution for this country,which allows for mistakes and the power to learn from them. This allows for true knowledge to pervade the American Experience and thankfully does not overtly sanction the Emperor/KIng Hidden new clothes syndrome.
