PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: April 05, 2023 Received: January 24, 2023 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. lda-psuy-1ztz Comments Due: January 30, 2023 Submission Type: Web Docket: NRC-2022-0183 Vistra Operations Company LLC Comanche Peak Power Company LLC Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 Comment On: NRC-2022-0183-0003 Notice of Intent To Conduct Scoping Process and Prepare Environmental Impact Statement; Vistra Operations Company LLC; Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 Document: NRC-2022-0183-DRAFT-1719 Comment on FR Doc # 2022-27025 Submitter Information Email:fw.sierra.excom@gmail.com Organization:Greater Fort Worth Sierra Club General Comment The Greater Fort Worth Sierra Club is a non-profit environmental organization with over 2,000 members in a 12 county area, including Somervell County. We have approximately 1,400 members within a 50 mile radius of Comanche Peak. This includes members in Bosque, Hill, Somervell, Johnson, Hood, Earth, Palo Pinto, Parker and Tarrant and includes the cities of Fort Worth, Arlington, Weatherford, Granbury, Stephenville, Cleburne, Mineral Wells, Hillsboro, and of course Glen Rose.
We are requesting the following items:
1) The January 17, 2023 in person meeting was canceled in favor of an online meeting, therefore, we are requesting an in person in Glen Rose, Somervell County so residents and other concerned citizens can directly interact with NRC staff. There were multiple technical issues with the presentation and many speakers were not able to unmute and speak.
2) We request a formal hearing due to the aging nature of the plant for safety reasons. There are too many safety issues concerning cracks in the foundation, cracks in pipes, the dome, the spillway, and "loss of material," on the 43-year old dam. We are concerned about the threat of earthquakes caused by the reemergence of fracking in the area and by wastewater injection wells. We are also concerned about water use. Water quantity is in jeopardy due to drought caused by climate change.
3) We request a 90-day extension for comment period for the 12/1/2022 Federal Register Notice.
We understand that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared to assess the impacts to the natural and human environment (Notice of Intent To Conduct Scoping Process and Prepare Environmental Impact Statement; Vistra Operations Company LLC; Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, Federal Register, 12/13/2022). An EIS should take a hard look and properly and effectively analyze and disclose potential significant individual and cumulative environmental impacts proposed by the license renewal and their reasonable alternatives would cause. The EIS should clearly present the information needed for the SUNSI Review Complete Template=ADM-013 E-RIDS=ADM-03 ADD: Tam Tran, Antoinette Walker-Smith, Ted Smith, Mary Neely Comment (1719)
