[External_Sender] Westinghouse 40 Year Lease Comment Attachments: ATT00001.txt

Dear Commissioners and Staff,

I am writing to you in opposition to the proposed 40 year license for the Westinghouse facility in Hopkins. The many unknowns that we face-flooding, drought, temperature rise and more would suggest a more thoughtful, incremental approach to the work done at this facility would be appropriate.

I have been living within a half-mile of an asphalt plant for about 15 years. This facility is helping to pave the Grand Strand. It is also affecting the health and quality of life of our community. The community around the Westinghouse plant is similar because there are known and as yet unknown health impacts to the surrounding residents.

Recently I became informed about the "swarm" of earthquakes affecting South Carolina. There seems to be little information available to the public locally. While here in Conway there seems to be reduced threat, it is concerning that areas near the Westinghouse campus and our other nuclear facilities have seen ongoing quake activity. An SC DNR map is attached. A 40 year license is too long-please reduce it to 10 or fewer years.

The recent appointment of Daniel Blackman, Administrator of EPA Region 4 could provide needed resources. According to the Nov. 18, 2021 press release from EPA, Mr. Blackman is experienced in the study of groundwater contamination at nuclear plants and impacts on public health and safety. Please include Mr. Blackman's involvement in your efforts to achieve accountability and transparency in determining the length of the license and the health and safety concerns of the community.

Thank you for your attention to these points.

Cordially, Grace Gifford 2380 Ole King Street Conway, SC 29526 Federal Register Notice: 86FR43277 Comment Number: 28
