PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 4/29/20 1:33 PM Received: April 29, 2020 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. 1k4-9geg-ee9g Comments Due: July 22, 2020 Submission Type: Web Docket: NRC-2018-0052 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Comment On: NRC-2018-0052-0300 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Project Document: NRC-2018-0052-DRAFT-0339 Comment on FR Doc # 2020-05690 Submitter Information Name: Martin Kral Address:
406 Viale Bond Roswell, 88201 Email: mkral@cableone.net General Comment NRC-2018-0052 Reason ten: SNF is a multi-billion dollar industry for the State of New Mexico, subsidies not required.
After the Rail Runner, Film Credits, Super Computer, Spaceport America, the ART, Facebook, and most recently the ETA (wind and solar), one has to wonder how New Mexico seems to be unable to attract new business opportunities without having to give up huge subsidies in the form of deferred taxes and some cases, direct cash payments. Every single one of those misguided efforts has turned into major boondoggles for the state with more sunk cost than revenue.
Now the three most successful industries in the state, O&G, Farm/Ranch, and Tourism have been devastated by a single virus - COVID-19. What the state needs now is an industry that is immune to the economic conditions of the world markets and any environmental disaster like a worldwide virus pandemic. It needs to be an industry with little or no effect on the existing industries in the state.
HI-STORE CISF is a multi-billion capital investment with a multi-million dollar steady revenue stream for the state bank account. New Mexico has a golden opportunity to invest in an industry that will not be affected by the surrounding environments or require a substantial cost to attract to the state. There is no required subsidies cost to the state, except to approve the project to be developed.

For those with a vision beyond today will realize that this investment in HI-STORE CISF is not just about an interim storage facility with a 40-year NRC license. It is the beginning of a long term advanced multi-billion dollar nuclear fuel industry that will last beyond the years of anyone alive today.
With 99.9% of the stored material in the spent nuclear fuel rod as recyclable and reusable as molten salt fuel, only 0.01% is unusable radioactive fission products that could easily and safely be permanently stored in a deep borehole or even WIPP, for as long as WIPP is in production.
