PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 5/25/18 7:14 AM Received: May 23, 2018 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. 1k2-93b5-7gql Comments Due: July 30, 2018 Submission Type: Web Docket: NRC-2018-0052 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Comment On: NRC-2018-0052-0058 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Document: NRC-2018-0052-DRAFT-0109 Comment on FR Doc # 2018-10418 Submitter Information Name: Martin Kral General Comment I have already written an article about my opinion of calling the ELEA/Holtec project 'interim' storage because storing a nuclear fuel with an energy density to supply all the fuel needed for generating electricity over the next 400 years in just the US, is not interim. If every one of our current water cooled nuclear reactors were replaced with an advance fast spectrum molten salt reactor (all 99) this stored nuclear fuel along with the depleted uranium stored at URENCO could last 4,000 years with each individual reactor producing 30% more electricity than today's fleet. So, the conclusion for me is that ELEA/Holtec project is not just about storing SNF but about a whole new industry of industrial heat for clean water, clean electricity, medical isotopes and of course nuclear fuel for the next centuries.
The one major benefit that I have not touched on yet is the billions of dollars to the State of New Mexico. Of course, there will be storage fees for the SNF but there will also be hundreds of very well paying jobs from construction to operation and everything in between and secondary businesses that always pop up around every major industry. The primary taxes like corporate taxes, income taxes, gross receipt taxes alone will increase the state revenue source so that schools, roads and other social needs can be addressed instead of always waiting for the next year's state budget. I think everyone could appreciate that.
