Dear Mr. Goddards This letter registers the objections of the Illinois Safe Energy Alliance, a coalition of twenty environnental groupe, to the early installation of 8
four racks at the Zicn opent fbel store 6e pool prior to the 130 8 final decicion on compaction theres 1.
Installing four new racia will expoee workers' to needless radiation if the lac dec'. des against the requested incroaco.
2.
Because tre new General Electric high density racks have a swelling defcet, they are vented to allow the hydrogen gas causing the swelling to eccape.
The venting expo tes tie aluninium in the rack tubes to the pool water.
The introduction of this new netsi, aln-4 re, to the pool could speed up corrosion of thhther racks and the stainless steel liner. Why should we take this unnecessary ritk if we don't have tof 3
Pre =at,ure installation of the racks is wasteful of ratepayers' money if the racks are eventually unused becanos of a negative decision by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board on the requested increase.
4.
"he ASLB's final decision on increased opent tuol storage should not be prejudiced by the partial installation of the defective new conpact racks.
Given the above consideratione, I urge you on behalf of the Illinois -(fe Energy Allience to deny Cocronnealth Edison Company theis request to allow the prenature installation of four new compact racks at the Zion nuclear station.
Sincerely,
