General Comment As a Dartmoth College trained scientist and engineer with 20 years of experience I am completely shocked by the decision to use light walled steel cases in such close vicinity to salt water which degrades metal at a very fast rate, not. to mention the earthquake and tsunami risk. Clearly the Yucca Mountain project would have been the most intelligent long term storage option and it is unfortunate that bipartisan bickering has destroyed a national resource.

The danger with this project is not only the risk of a radiation leak that could affect tens of millions if Southern California residents, but that it also will set legal precedence for all other reactor waste storage sites across the nation. https://www.fdms.gov/fdms/getcontent?objectld=0900006482d90853&format=xml&showorig=false 01/09/2018 Page 2 of2 This is a poorly planned project that does not even meet minimum military standards even though it is on leased Navy property, and is a political boondoggle that will continue to significantly degrade the reputation of anyone who chooses to fight for it until some reasonable and intelligent optJon is at least considered.
