PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 10/4/18 1:08 PM Received: October 03, 2018 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. 1k2-95ro-bsl0 Comments Due: October 10, 2018 Submission Type: Web Docket: NRC-2018-0130 Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 Comment On: NRC-2018-0130-0003 Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Document: NRC-2018-0130-DRAFT-0001 Comment on FR Doc # 2018-19462 Submitter Information Name: patricia borchmann Address:

1141 carrotwood glen escondido, CA, 92026-5333 Email: patriciaborchmann@gmail.com General Comment NRC Commissioners are strongly urged to REJECT pending application NRC 2018-0130 (by Exelron) to extend License another 20 years at Peachbottom Reactor, (Lancaster PA), because there is overwhelming evidence contained in existing public record that it will be unsafe to extend License 20 years.

The latest in long history of unsafe conditions at Peachbottom reactor is Event 53650 (reported 09 30 18),

which still is an imminent threat, due to NRC's failure to require all necessary reform and floodproofing, and extensive infrastructure upgrades immediately at Peachbottom nuclear reactor.

Public stakeholders in Region I are extremely threatened, as are all local residents, schools, public hospitals, plus businesses and industry, because NRC 's failure to require immediate physical plant upgrades and extensive public infrastructure retrofit at Peachbottom, during countless series of earlier Emergency Event reports at Peachbottom, or require meaningful program of Corrective Actions that are necessary for safe operations, without collateral damage to upstream or downstream communities, and damage to existing taxpayers, ratepayers, or dislocation, or costs to improve air quality, water quality, and basic living conditions, or protect public health and safety.

I am a resident in Region IV (San Diego County), but I have family, friends and loved ones in Region I who are unprotected, and many who have spoken previously in opposition to overly lax policies and practices NRC applies are never considered in a meaningful way by NRC Commissioners in the past.

PUBLICATION DATE:

9/10/2018 CITATION # 83 FR 45692

public stakeholders in other Regions outside Region I find this pattern of fragmentation extremely disturbing, and a common NRC analytical FLAW that threaten public stakeholders in ALL REGIONS, that NRC Commission fails to respond to, whether the case is in Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania, or San Onofre or Diablo Canyon in California.

During most of my adult lifetime, it's inexcusable that NRC always works harder to find excuses to NOT require immediate plant upgrades and infrastructure system UPGRADES by Licensees, whenever License Extensions are considered, and how NRC Commission typically takes actions to protect profit margins of utility, and give greater weight to Licensee's unproven claims, than the credible evidence and technical experts who are independent, outside nuclear industry and or contractors.

I'm age 67, and during past 45 years, I observed the policies and practices, rulemaking processes, Emergency Exemptions, waivers, deferrals, self-reporting policies and practices are a disgrace, and consistently fail to apply best practices, and recommendations by independent techical experts.
