[External_Sender] Comments re: TVA Clinch River SMR ESP DEIS - Docket ID NRC-2016-0119

Dear NRC Staff,

I am a TVA customer, yes, I am a TVA customer. I cannot buy electricity that comes from any other source. TVA has an electric power monopoly.

I am very concerned about TVAs early site permit application for small modular reactors at the Clinch River Site in Tennessee. TVA doesnt need more supply. The NRC should evaluate the costs of SMRs in comparison to other energy choices, such as wind and solar, including energy efficiency and conservation.

These cost figures should include the long-term-cost of storing nuclear waste. Currently, the Federal Government (Taxpayers) will provide long-term storage of nuclear waste. Congress could change this at any time throwing the cost back to TVA. Health costs need to be considered.

These cost figures should include the human cost of human disease and other human costs that nuclear power facilities cause.

A comparison of the impacts on our water resources, including water quality and water supply of both surface and groundwater, should also be done by the NRC for SMRs and these other energy choices.

Last, I request that the NRC reject TVAs effort to reduce the emergency planning zone from 10-miles to 2 miles or less.

Should an accident ever occur at the Clinch River Site, the NRC should provide the public with a detailed analysis of how many additional members of the public could be harmed if these changes in the safety radius are implemented. The safety of our communities should be the NRCs top concern, not the ability for utilities to pursue an experimental technology that is not needed.

TVA needs to replace nuclear power with wind, solar, and other renewable health harmless sources of energy.

Thank you. Sincerely Gerald Dooley, Kingston Springs, TN.
