In our role asVermont State Senators and Representatives of many Windham County towns, we want the following points tobe part of the public record.We do not support SAFSTOR.

We are only the second merchant reactor to decommission. Moreover, Entergy is located on thesecond smallest land area of any US nuclear plant. It also is located in the middle of a town and has anelementary school located across from the gate to the plant. All of these factors contribute to making Entergy anunsuitable site for SAFSTOR. We also feel we have a moral obligation to deal effectively with this problem andnot to leave it for future generations.We request maintenance of the emergency planning zone and federal funding for emergency personnel until allfuel is removed from the spent fuel pool into dry cask storage.
