PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 7/29/24, 12:25 PM Received: July 26, 2024 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. lz3-1s9z-lb7c Comments Due: July 29, 2024 Submission Type: API Docket: NRC-2024-0076 Notice of Intent to Conduct Scoping Process and Prepare an Environmental Assessment Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC and Holtec Palisades, LLC; Palisades Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 Comment On: NRC-2024-0076-0001 Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC, and Holtec Palisades, LLC; Palisades Nuclear Plant; Notice of Intent To Conduct Scoping Process and Prepare an Environmental Assessment Document: NRC-2024-0076-DRAFT-0050 Comment on FR Doc # 2024-14112 Submitter Information Name: Robert Ebert Address:
Covert, MI, 49043 Email:rebes1025@gmail.com General Comment To: National Regulatory Commission From: Bob and Dianne Ebert 800021 Ramblewood Dr Covert, Michigan 49043 July 24, 2024 Im writing to you in opposition to the reopening of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant for the following reasons.
As you know nuclear power production generates highly toxic, radioactive, spent fuel rod waste, that must be stored in thin wall casks at the plant site for an undetermined about of years. Further generation of radionuclides at this site risks destabilizing the adjacent Lake Michigan clean water source for MI, IND, IL, WISC.
Now to the point of HOLTEC. This company has no developed process to repair damaged or leaking casts.
Holtec purchased this shutdown plant with the sole purpose of demolishing the structures and remediating the property; not to resume operations. Holtec has no plant operational experience, they are a demolition company. They are advocating the use of unproven technology, using high grade Uranium fuel.
The Palisades plant was shut down in early 2022 due to failure of the control rod drive mechanism used to control the reactor operation. Restarting this plant is a clear danger to the safety of life of the citizens in 7/29/24, 12:26 PM blob:https://www.fdms.gov/fede0327-fe30-4d5b-a109-f85d85480010 blob:https://www.fdms.gov/fede0327-fe30-4d5b-a109-f85d85480010 1/2 SUNSI Review Complete Template=ADM-013 E-RIDS=ADM-03 ADD: Laura Willingham, Mary Richmond, Antoinette Walker-Smith, Marlayna Doell, Mary Neely Comment (50)

the surrounding communities, due to a possible catastrophic malfunction not to mention explosion which could scatter radioactive uranium fuel rods.
This Palisades Plant is over 50 years old and has experienced numerous operational safety violations in that time frame.
I personally live 100 yards away for 5 months each year for the 30 years.
