[External_Sender] Docket ID NRC-2024-0076--Comment US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, I am writing with regard to the proposed restart of the Palisades nuclear plant, which is just 30 miles from where I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
I strongly oppose restarting this nuclear power plant. It amazes and puzzles me that nuclear power is referred to as green energy or clean energy.
From my perspective, nuclear power plants are an ominous threat to the health and wellbeing of myself and my family--I'm looking forward to having grandchildren come along in the next few years and want them to grow up without having to be dosed against radiation poisoning.
It is bad enough that the casks of nuclear waste from the operation of the Palisades plant are sitting very close to me and close to the shores of Lake Michigan. I have opposed this storage method from its inception in 1993.
My drinking water comes from aquifers, but many Michigan residents rely on Lake Michigan for drinking water. Those casks pose a threat to the lake's quality--which affects aquatic life, the fishing industry, tourism and the health of residents on or near the lake.
So, the waste from Palisades' operation is already a threat. We do not need or want more waste to be generated.
Nuclear energy is incredibly expensive, as well as dangerous. Please do not spend my tax dollars to restart an ancient nuclear plant to be run by an inexperienced company (Holtec) to produce energy that we can better produce by genuinely green methods such as wind and solar. Michigan is making great strides with genuinely green energy.
Restarting Palisades would be a huge, negative, dangerous step backwards.
Please know that one nearby resident in Michigan OPPOSES the restart of the Palisades nuclear power plant.
Sincerely, Denise Hartsough 2690 Timberleaf Lane Kalamazoo MI 49006 269.599.1801 (cell) denise.hartsough@gmail.com
