PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 3/3/20 8:14 AM Received: February 22, 2020 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. 1k4-9f5o-53so Comments Due: February 24, 2020 Submission Type: Web Docket: NRC-2020-0021 Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 1, 2, and 3; Transfer of Control of Licenses and Approval of Conforming License Amendments Comment On: NRC-2020-0021-0001 Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 1, 2, and 3; Consideration of Approval of Transfer of Control of Licenses and Conforming Amendments Document: NRC-2020-0021-DRAFT-0065 Comment on FR Doc # 2020-00824 Submitter Information Name: Laura Lamash Address:

50 Davis Street Binghamton, NY, 13905 Email: lamash@stny.rr.com General Comment Holtec and its subsidiaries are not qualified to hold the licenses of the Indian Point Energy Center. Given its record, area residents have no confidence in Holtec and do not accept it as the licensee. The Commission must not approve the license transfer, for the same reasons. Holtec has multiple problems, any one of which ought to disqualify it from decommissioning Indian Point. Taken together, they add up to a clear imperative to reject Holtec as the licensee.

Holtec lacks the experience needed to decommission Indian Point safely. Its entire nuclear "fleet" was acquired less than a year ago. It has never decommissioned a nuclear plant before; its first decommissioning job is Oyster Creek, which it acquired in July 2019. It is in effect learning on the job. The bulk of its experience is in spent fuel handling, where its performance has been poor.

Please do not move forward with Holtec. The Hudson River is a precious, vital part of our nation's history.

Indian Point is situated in a critical and precarious location. Failure to properly decomission Indian Point will be ruinous to generations of us.
