1. Holtec doesnotappear tohavemuch,ifany, experience indecommissioning nuclear power plants; andtheanticipated sale ofanother Entergy plant toHoltec for decommissioning isbeing challenged bytheState ofMassachusetts and12other
states, including theNewYork State Attorney General.

Giventhat background, including the likely lawsuit bythis State's Attorney General ifEntergy sells Indian Point

toHoltec, which would delay any decommissioning
work, whywouldsuchasale beinthebestinterests ofthepublic?
2. Whatassurance, ifany,hastheNRCreceived fromeither Entergy orHoltec thatHoltec will hire thecurrent Indian Point

3. Whatinformation, ifany,hasHoltec provided that itwill safely dispose ofthespent fuel rods andtheother radioactive material fromIndian Point?
4. Howwill Holtec transport thespentfuel rodsandother radioactive material from indianPoint toitsdesignated storage facility?

What,ifanything, hasHoltec provided which shows that any andall suchtransportation will bedonesafely, withnopossibility ofleakage which canharm people ortheenvironment?

5. What,ifany,assurance andinformation doestheNRChavewhich guarantees that Holtec has orwill have

- sufficient funds tocomplete thedecommissioning ofIndian Point without having tocutcorners sothat thejobiscompleted within Holtec's budget?

6. Withregard totheAIMgasline, whataction hastheNRCtaken toassure thatitwill not endanger theIndian Point facility and,thus, thepublic?

Weareadvised that theNRC's Inspector General hasfound thattheprior approval process wasdeeply flawed.

Whatsteps havebeentaken tohaveanewreview process which isnotflawed?

Ilook forward toparticipating atthemeeting.

Thank youforyouranticipated consideration.
