The site is very dangerous with large Gas Pipelines running adjacent to the facility and earth quake faults very near the plants in the Hudson River. The site is 50 miles north of NYC and therefore puts many more people at risk. On site storage of the high level waste is the only sensible solution, as transportation of the spent fuel puts many more people and cities and land at risk, should an accident occur. With river and overland transportation of the spent fuel many more possibilities for deadly accidents will happen. Sadly there is a tremendous amount of very radioactive fuel to contend with and the best way would be on site storage with thick walled canisters in horizontal positions. Holtec should be very carefully monitored during the entire process as their company's record seems irresponsible.

I implore the NRC to move strongly towards the Safety of the surrounding population in this new age of decommissioning nuclear reactors, as the result of an accident would have terrible consequences for the immediate area and the country as well. This is the Historic Heart of America and it needs full protection.
