Our area will be stuck with it's byproducts for so far into the future that it is impossible to know what the eventual environmental impact will be. We have the example of the spent fuel rods stored at the former Kewaunee plant as a guideline of what will happen to the spent fuel at Point Beach. More of the same. Ownership will walk away with the profits and leave local government to deal with the massive cost and responsibility of caring for aging infrastructure. One also has to consider the failed wisdom of permanently storing nuclear waste directly on the shoreline of the worlds largest source of fresh water, the Great Lakes. Please consider the fact that the challenge of dealing with the spent fuel rods will still be with us long after everyone alive today has left this world. The problem will remain 100 years from now, 200 years from now and far past even the foreseeable future. Also, despite the fact that nuclear power plants are closely regulated, the infrastructure of the plant at Point Beach is now over 50 years old. Regardless of upgrades and multiple redundant safety systems, anything made by man eventually ages and wears out. This plant has served it's purpose and now is the time to close it safely and to attempt to secure it's leftover byproducts as safely as possible.
