[External_Sender] Comments re: TVA Clinch River SMR ESP DEIS - Docket ID NRC-2016-0119

Dear NRC Staff,

My family and I were in Germany at the time of the Chernobyl accident and were affected personally as we tried to keep our children and ourselves safe. There were food and other restrictions that were of great importance. I do not ever want to repeat that experience because of a nuclear reactor in any vacinity, and therefore I am very concerned about TVAs early site permit application for small modular reactors at the Clinch River Site in Tennessee. TVA doesnt need more supply. The NRC should evaluate the costs of SMRs in comparison to other energy choices, such as wind and solar, including energy efficiency and conservation.

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, I request that the NRC reject TVAs effort to reduce the emergency planning zone from 10-miles to 2 miles or less.

Should an accident ever occur at the Clinch River Site, the NRC should provide the public with a detailed analysis of how many members of the public could be harmed if these changes in the safety radius are implemented. The safety of our communities should be the NRCs top concern, not the ability for utilities to pursue an experimental technology that is not needed.

Thank you.
