[External_Sender] Environmental Scoping Comments The Government Accountability Office reported that the NRC was not considering climate change vulnerabilities to nuclear facilities. What are the plans for extended grid outages due to storms including geomagnetic events, cyberattacks or direct attack to the grid. Will there be steps taken to secure fuel for diesel generators to keep operations and cooling stable?
The effect of restart on the health and biota of Lake Michigan should be studied. Both the intake of millions of gallons of lakewater which entraps fish, fish eggs, and mollusks, and damage to various other lifeforms need to be considered. Likewise, the discharge of superheated wastewater to an already warming Lake Michigan. Also, the effect of numerous and bio-accumulative radioactive batch releases on human health and the ecosystem. A German study detailed massive radioactive isotope releases during refueling. The study correlated the releases to spikes in childhood leukemia within a 5-mile radius.
What effect would the use of highly enriched fuel have on operations and storage? Would Holtec purchase "high burnup" enriched fuel from Russia or Russian allies until the U.S. can supply itself? What effect would restart have on the nuclear supply chain?
All this and more needs to be studied as part of an EIS and not an EA.
Thank you for considering these comments.
