[External_Sender] Comments-Westinghouse Permit The permit renewal for the Westinghouse facility in Hopkins, which is located in my District, should not exceed 20 years. Many of the residents who live near Westinghouse do not support the 40-year permit recommended by the NRC. I agree with them and believe that a 40-year permit extension could be detrimental to the health and well-being of residents in communities near the facility, would pose a risk to employees at Westinghouse and a lasting threat to the environment, given the many spills and past incidents that have happened at the facility.

Hazardous incidents at Westinghouse have not been promptly reported in the past to regulators or residents in close proximity to the facility.

I also recommend that oversight by regulatory agencies be increased at Westinghouse to ensure lives are protected. We can no longer rely on the staff at the facility to self-report incidents, thus limiting regulatory intervention and required warnings to the public when spills and potential environmental threats occur. A 40-year permit renewal is simply too long a period to allow the facility to operate. Monitoring and verifying health and environmental outcomes for those who work or live close to Westinghouse should be frequent and consistent.
