-1821 - Mixed Oxide Fuel: INFCE Gentlemen:
The following comments are made in response to your request (45FR53933):
Issue 1:
Whether the Co= mission should reopen GESMO and other recycle related licensing proceedings.
The NRC should proceed with licensing.
INFCE has accomplished no more than serving as a reason for delaying the recovery and reuse of a valu-able non-fossil energy source.
We will soon realize:
A.
That fossil fuel burning sources result in more damage to the environment and future human habitation of this planet than nuclear radioactivity.
B.
Environmental energy sources will remain excessively costly for centuries.
C.
Nue. lear fusion is not just around the corner, particularly as the DOE continues to reduce funding of the various programs.
D.
The U. S. is becoming noncompetitive in the world =arket for its products.
Increased energ;y costs and lack of reliable energy supplies will eventually remove our products completely from the export market.
E.
That spent fuel reprocessing and recycle by other countries will negate the hoped for effect of our continued non-GESMO attitude.
The centinued escalation of Safeguards for existing fissile =aterial is O
sisplaced bureaucracy in trying for the prevention of terrorist use.
There are other substitutes available to terrorists that are unprotected: g 1
