[External_Sender] Comments re: TVA Clinch River SMR ESP DEIS - Docket ID NRC-2016-0119
Dear NRC Staff,
As a TVA customer, I am 100% IN FAVOR of the NRC and TVA evaluating the cost per megawatt-hour of SMRs in comparison to other new energy choices, such as wind and solar. If the new plants can be shown to have lower costs than current or other energy sources, then TVA should be allowed to proceed with construction. If the new SMR plants do not lower the cost to consumers, then there is no point in building them.
Total costs must be included. Some cost items would be the expected cost of construction delays due to harassment lawsuits by liberal environmental groups, the cost of either disposal or permanent storage of nuclear waste. When comparing the costs of so-called green energy sources, the costs of mining and refining the source materials along with the mine reclamation costs must be included. For example, I've heard that nickel mines are highly polluted.
A comparison of the impacts on our water resources, including water quality and water supply of both surface and groundwater, should also be done by the NRC for SMRs and these other energy choices.
Last, the NRC should require TVA to maintain an emergency planning zone the same radius as all other nuclear plants.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Andrew Bush 1802 Windy Meadows Ln Sevierville, TN 37876-6352 pgbush@juno.com
