[External_Sender] Public Comment - Clinch River DEIS (Docket 52-047)
Dear NRC staff,
I am totally convinced that renewable energy is the most economical and most efficient means of energy for the future.
Studies have shown it can be enough, and other countries are going in the direction of having 100% renewable. Why must the UD cater to industries that have no lasting future?
Siting the Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) at the Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee seems dangerous and unnecessary. NRC's Draft Environmental Impact Statement for TVAs permit application on April 26, 2018 is deeply flawed and biased toward approving this unnecessary, expensive, and counterproductive project.
Please reject TVAs proposal to dramatically reduce the Emergency Planning Zone from 10 miles to just 2 miles or less.
The reality is that TVAs proposed SMR project is a thinly disguised subsidy to the nuclear power industry.
NRC must consider the recent experience with other proposed new reactor projects, using untested new designs. Had the utilities invested in solar, wind, and/or efficiency ten years ago, South Carolina would be saving money and reducing carbon emissions, with no radioactive waste.
NRCs statutory mission is to be a neutral regulator with the purpose of ensuring nuclear safety, not promoting nuclear power. NRC must withdraw the DEIS and perform a fair, accurate, objective analysis of TVAs site permit application, as well as the real alternatives of energy efficiency, wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources.
