Dear NRC:
Please do not extend aging Comanche Peak nuclear licenses.
We urge you to reject the application by Vistra to extend the operating licenses for the Comanche Peak nuclear power reactors for an additional 20 years. To protect public health, safety, security, and financial health, the reactors should retire as licensed, on or before 2030 and 2033.
I request that in-person scoping meetings be held in Texas, as originally planned, when Covid risks subside. I request that a hearing opportunity be allowed for those seeking to intervene and that the deadline for requesting a hearing be postponed for 90 days past the current January 30 deadline.
Both an afternoon and evening public meeting were postponed at the last moment, without adequate public notice. Four hours of in-person meeting time were reduced to only two hours online. That is not enough time for public comment.
Risks from stress corrosion cracking, metal fatigue and embrittlement would all increase, and thereby increase accident risks and the potential for radiation releases. There are 7.76M residents in nearby Dallas/Ft. Worth. Public health and safety should come first in this decision.
Scoping should consider that there is no need for 20 more years of nuclear power. Renewable solar and wind generation are the most affordable and safest way to meet energy needs.

Comanche Peak is within the Barnett Shale, a region with extensive fracking and numerous injection wells. There are fault lines in the area and a magnitude 3 earthquake had its epicenter only 20 miles away.
Please extend the deadline for intervention and host in-person meetings and hearings.Thank you.
