Woodinville, WA, 98072 Email: ginny1218@yahoo.com General Comment Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Point Beach Nuclear Reactors (PBNP) and the draft generic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The section on Alternatives Actions to be considered is completely inadequate for two reasons: if the license at PBNP is not renewed, the alternatives considered do not include the use of wind power, either onshore or offshore, or energy conservation.

• Two of the three proposed alternatives require implementation of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs),

reactors which do not exist and are not currently available.

• In fact, SMRs do not exist as a viable source of electricity,as they require decades of research and development to find out if the new designs will even work and then even more time to scale up mass production of SMRs. Safety concerns of SMRs would also need to be considered.

• There must be at least one Alternative Action plan based on 100% renewable energy sources. As with climate change science and knowledge, many developments in solar, wind, storage and energy conservation have taken place and proven themselves in recent years; this knowledge is available and must be considered as reasonable replacement alternatives.
