Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station License Transfer Application

Dear Mr. Lamb:

As an employee of Pilgrim and a Plymouth, Massachusetts resident for 30 years, I am proud of the hard work of my coworkers in the safe operation of this facility and our contributions to the community for more than 46 years. My family, friends, and neighbors, along with the community at large, have been supportive of our work. Now that Entergy has decided to cease operation at the end of May of this year, I feel obliged to repay this support by advocating for a safe and swift decommissioning of the facility and restoration of this site in an environmentally responsible manner. Based on my industry experience and my research, I believe that both the Entergy SAFSTOR plan and proposed license transfer from Entergy to Holtec-CDI provide for a safe transition of the facility into the future. The license transfer additionally offers the opportunity to fulfill our obligation to the community. Accelerated decommissioning is not only responsible environmental stewardship but provides for near-term employment opportunities for current Pilgrim employees and other craft union membership. Provided your staff finds that the license transfer is consistent with the standard established by regulation, I encourage the NRC to approve the license transfer without delay. Thank you for your consideration.

Davi
