Garb, MD, Occupational and Environmental Medicine Consultant Organization: Pilgrim Legislative Advisory Coalition General Comment I strongly oppose The NRC's proposal to set aside federal regulations and deprive members of the public their legal rights by using a letter to the Nuclear Energy Institute to permit nuclear plant owners to experiment with new fuel pellets and fuel rods in the nuclear power reactors in our backyards without prior NRC review and approval, and without getting broader input from nuclear scientists or giving the public a chance to agree or disagree with this experiment.
I do appreciate the extension of the comment period on this matter, however it is a reckless and unnecessary step that could have catastrophic outcomes. This type of experimentation should be conducted in a rigorous scientific setting, far from the general pubic.
