Re: Hearing Docket ID NRC-2020-0021 - Opposing Indian Point License Transfer from Entergy to Holtec CORRECTED ATTACHMENT: BACKGROUND SUPPLEMENT TO COMMENTS SUBMITTED BY HUDSON RIVER SLOOP CLEARWATER , INC. ON INDIAN POINT LICENSE TRANSFER APPLICATION FROM ENTERGY TO HOLTEC (These are minor formatting corrections, to include page numbers and to correct one footnote reference. All other attachments are identical to those we submitted at 4:59 p.m. earlier today, March 25,2020, Comment Tracking No. 1k4-9fr8-u40u Hudson River Sloop Clearwater strongly opposes the sale and transfer of Indian Point Licenses from Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. to Holtec International and Holtec Decommissioning International (HDI), LLC.

After performing extensive research, we have concluded that Holtec and its subsidiaries are not qualified to hold the licenses for decommissioning the Indian Point Energy Center.

Given the company's record, Clearwater, shares the view of members of New York's Congressional https://www.fdms.gov/fdms/getcontent?objectId=0900006484469ad5&format=xml&showorig=false 03/26/2020

Page 2 of 2 delegation, the New York State Attorney General, many local and state elected officials, Riverkeeper and area residents - namely that we have no confidence in Holtec's ability to decommission Indian Point safely and with financial surety. We therefore oppose it becoming the Indian Point licensee. As listed in detail in the attached documents, Holtec has had multiple problems, any one of which should disqualify it from holding Indian Point's licenses and decommissioning the plant. Taken together, these deficiencies add up to a clear imperative to reject Holtec as the licensee. We urge the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to deny the Joint License Transfer Application for the reason submitted herewith.

Sincerely, Manna Jo Greene, Environmental Director Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc.
