re-licensing To Whom it may Concern, I attended a hearing of the NRC re: the re-licensing of the Indian Point plant for 20 more years. I was shocked. I thought Oh My God, the government agency meant to regulate and protect us, is in the pocket of industry.
Briefly, I don't believe that relicensing, for any period of time, should proceed before Entergy complies with all existing laws and regulations. Apparently, they have not addressed numerous leaks of radioactive material into the groundwater and into the Hudson. Now a new leak has been identified. This is strontium 90 we are talking about!
Daily fish kills are un-addressed, heated water being dumped back into the river is un-addressed. High and low level nuclear waste on site remains un-addressed, health concerns of citizens remains un-addressed.
More frightening still is the serious risk of terrorism against this power plant. It seems a wonderful target to those who would do us harm. It could turn New York City, and of course, a huge radius around the city, into a new Chernobyl. Clearly, there is no way to make this site, with it's stored nuclear waste, safe from an attack.
And the arguments about the siren systems are ridiculous, there is no way to evacuate the area. All those close-in are already dead or dying if there is an attack, or even an accident.
The meeting I attended felt rigged and deceitful. There were groups of inner city people who were supporting the relicensing because they have clearly been coached that their utility rates would go up if this plant is not operating. Or more dirty coal plants will be placed in minority communities if this plant does not remain operational.
Scare tactics from the NRC? Unbelievable. They talked about the increases in the need for more energy for all the appliances we will want in the future. They belittled the options for sustainable energy.
There was scant mention of conservation, better distribution of existing power or scaling back on our thirst for more electricity.
These comments were couched in terms of the limits of alternatives.
If we are able to commit to solar, wind, wave, tidal, and other alternative energy in the future, there will be safer, cleaner and cheaper ways to provide power to the cities, particularly if we stop subsidizing dirty power, high risk power. Moving ahead with this old technology in the 21st century will take this country back in time.
If Indian Point "needs" to continue, than at least only license for one year at a time, giving Entergy time to comply with the laws and fix the problems before offering them this huge 20 year extension.
