Dear NRC:
Dont extend aging Comanche Peak nuclear licenses.
I 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, as well as financial health, the reactors should be retired as licensed, on or before 2030 and 2033.
I am concerned about the increased safety risks that would result from allowing another 20 years of Comanche Peak nuclear reactor operation. 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 7.76 million residents in nearby Dallas/Ft. Worth. Public health and safety should come first in this decision. Renewable solar and wind generation are the most affordable and safest way to meet energy needs. Texas has abundant renewable resources to tap and a grid to move the power as needed.
Also, please extend the deadline for intervention and host in-person meetings and hearings.
Thank you.
