Thonotosassa, FL, 33592 Email:paulobyrne@ymail.com Phone:8132994609 General Comment Holtecs attempt to restart the closed Palisades atomic reactor is unprecedented, misguided and extremely high risk for the health and safety of the citizens of the area as well as all communities that fish, swim or receive their drinking water source from Lake Michigan. As a Safety officer for the Federal Government, I am shocked to believe this project is even being considered as I read through the numerous findings of dangerous leaks and needed but neglected repairs: as former Entergy senior engineer Alan Blind, who worked for six years at Palisades, has explained. All these admissions about safety-significant systems, structures, and components in need of replacement, or significant upgrade, were made by Palisades initial owner, Consumers Energy, to the Michigan Public Service Commission, in spring 2006. Yet Entergy never fixed any of this, during its ownership tenure from 2007 to 2022. Yet, a government agency, paid to protect the safety of the residents of the U.S. are considering to approve such a project to a company with no experience in nuclear power generation and doing it safely. This plant, like other closed nuclear reactors need to be safely decommissioned as soon as possible to ensure no further mishaps occur and the responsible parties pay for such actions rather than the public getting stuck with the bill. Do the right thing to ensure the safety of the region. Thank you.
