Dear NRC:
June 17, 2015 Typed comments and concerns submitted at public hearing at the Janesville Rotary Gardens ref. Shine Technology's request for a building permit and NRC approval of such.
Why would the NRC allow the use of uranium based processes to produce Molly 99 within the city limits of a city with excess of 63,000 inhabitants. It was my understanding that the NRC once said that they prefer any uranium used in production or use should be beyond 10 miles from, densely populated areas or cities.
Why would the NRC allow this at this time when there are much safer production methods without using the kind of uranium that Shine proposes, Such as North Star in Beloit, 10 miles away. There are other modem methods to meet the demand for Molly 99 without the dangers of contamination and accidents within our city limits. I thought the NRC was interested in safety and reducing the amount of uranium being used around the country instead of expanding the dangers everywhere by allowing it all over among populated areas.
Our ground water is precious and our high quality land and dairy use is very important as well as the safety of our citizens. One of you sub- environmental agencies reported that it was not their duty to rule on the building permit process. That means the environmental component didn't even investigate fully any of our concerns apparently.
There are also many remote, somewhat useless land site available elsewhere. like former mining sites, etc. I feel that the location is not protected by sufficient safeguards when it is placed within the city limit of a city with 63,000 inhabitants, to say nothing about the dangers to our land and resources and so close to a busy airport and highways. Shine even admits that they need much more money to move forward. Any building permit should be delayed until much, much later to really determine the need for Shines production, especially at this site. It is the worst possible site for such an outdated dangerous process.
Also no permits should be issued until Shine has the money in hand before even moving an inch forward on this process. Any building permit would be premature. The NRC should face the facts and ask itself if this facility and location is really needed considering the modem advancement of technology that has been tested and has been proven to produce of Molly 99 by a much safer method.
As a resident of this city, I therefore request that the NRC deny any building permit requested by Shine at this time and at this proposed location within the Janesville city limits. Especially because in my opinion this site is a very poor location and there are way too many all-around safety issues that have not been properly investigated or resolved and concerning the environment. It seemingly also lacks a great many safeguards at this location and because of outdated processes.
Sincerely, Al ed Lembrich 541 Miller Ave. Janesville, WI. 53548
