PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 5/1/20 7:48 AM Received: April 30, 2020 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. 1k4-9gfc-u8v1 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-0343 Comment on FR Doc # 2020-05690 Submitter Information Name: Anonymous Anonymous General Comment NRC's time-limited focus on just 40 years of "temporary storage" is inappropriately short, given Holtec's own admission in its license application to NRC that "interim storage" could persist for 120 years; in response to a Request for Information from DOE, Holtec admitted a CISF could operate for 300 years; and in NRC's own 2014 Continued Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel Rule and Generic EIS, the agency acknowledged away-from-reactor ISFSIs (Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations) could go on indefinitely (that is, forevermore).
Institutional control could be lost over such long time periods. Failed containers could release catastrophic amounts of hazardous radioactivity directly into the surface environment, to blow downwind, flow downstream, bioconcentrate up the food chain, and harm people down the generations.
Please consider the danger to humanity if you allow this project to continue.
