Dear Sir:
These comments are on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) draft environmental impact statement for Baltimore Gas & Electric (BG&E) Company Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant license renewal application. Per the NRC Public Affairs notice of 30 March 1999, public comments may be taken through 20 May 1999. BG&E or its affiliates do not employ me, nor do I work in the power generation business.
I believe the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) is beneficial to the BG&E service area, and to the Mid-Atlantic region, and as such should have its license renewed for CCNPP Units One and Two. The plant produces clean power without the detrimental emissions that would be produced by equivalent 850-megawatt fossil-fuel buming units.
The draft environmental report posted on your agency's web site reported no environmental reasons to preclude the award of a renewed license. Further, review of NRC inspection reports; again from documents atyour site, found the plant in good shape and being well maintained. Since the NRC constantly monitors the condition of the CCNPP and has the authority to cutback or stop power production in case of problems, there is minimal concem of a significant radiation release. My family and I live within 40 miles of the Calvert Cliffs in Anne Arundel County and haw no concems as to our safety from the operation of the nuclear power plant.
1 BG&E appear to be taking prudent management steps to insure the license will be there to justify a major investment in new boilers. It is also not lost on me that this is a precedent-setting license renewal request. My view is that nuclear power, properly regulated, is one of the better ways to prevent the introduction of greenhouse gases and particulate pollution into our air.
As a BG&E ratepayer and local area resident, I support the renewal of the operating license for both units of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.
Sincerely, k
