bhANLH Deer 11r. Ch11k l'm writing today to urge you not to proceed with the ' temporary storege of nucleer weste in dry casks et Consumers Power Cofs Felisades Plant in (1ichigen.
Af ter calling the NRC in Chicago today I learned that "temporerg storage ~ means et least 17 geers and possibly longer. I'm very concerned that the placement of non-transporteble casks will mean permanent storege.
I am elso very concerned about the piecement of these cesks on en ever-changing terrain. As a homeowner and taxpeger in the aree i em very owere of the sometimes daily changes the beach and surrounding cree undergoes. Sand is not stable.
A mere 25 miles of leke water seperates the Pe11sedes Plent from Chicago, Gerg and (1i1weukee. This is one of our country's most populated erees. Ourlake is e lewel. Our lives depend on the health of the leke. Any damage to the loke demeges all of us. This storege f acility effects I1ichigen, Indiene, Illinois, end Wisconsin. Please request public hearings for all of these erees and en Environmental impact Study that includes the fragile dunes of the Pe11sedes as well as possible damage to leke water and the shores of the neighboring states.
These casks have not undergone testing. How con we ellow nuclear weste to be stored engwhere without extensive testing? We require testing of our food, medicine and other products too numerous to mention. How can we store radioactive weste in untested concrete cesks?
i Also, the proposed monitoring of these casks is presently without instrumentation. How is this possible? Cesks are being built wi+.hout a monitoring system, cerefully outlined end teking into eccount every feasible eventuellity, in piece.
I believe this proposed storege system is irresponsible. Testing of any j
storage system should be a high priority and should be completed prior to the installation of any system.
Our children and their children depend on your oecision. I em confident you will serve them well.
