I will try to be clear and concise:l. Davis Besse creates nuclear waste. There is no solution to the safe storage of nuclear waste. It remains toxic forlonger than anyone can guarantee its safe storage. There is no way to dispose of it that would not endanger theenvironment sooner or later. When businesses pollute, they should be shut down.2. Davis Besse has had a history of huge running cracks. Even though the cracks are "patched" the real problemhas not been solved. What is causing the cracking? Because cracking could lead to containment compromise,including a full blown melt down, I believe Davis Besse and its cracks should be shut down and decommissioned,not relicensed.3. Just like Consumers Power promised to repair Palisades, what happened after it was relicensed? CP sold it toEntergy who still has not done the repairs CP thought necessary, and were contingent upon relicensing. The NRChas not made Entergy do the repairs, but has left it up to Entergy to decide whether the repairs are necessary ornot. Meanwhile, Palisades has had leaks, come close to melt downs, and sump pump failure etc.....Davis Bessealso may run the risk of being resold.. .possibly to a foreign nation if they can unload it that way.....and not dorepairs.4. Even if 'repaired' Davis Besse is not a good investment. As a taxpayer I am horrified the government uses mytax dollars to subsidize the nuclear industry.5. Sometimes the best thing to do is to quit trying to fix a broken thing. When a car rusts out underneath, you don'tkeep driving it down the road even though the engine is still running. You shouldn't allow a dangerous nuclear....aging .....power plant to keep operatfng. The risk is too great. -, 3[ttps://www. dmss.grv/fdms-web-agency/component/contentstreamer?objectld=09ý48164816bfaf2&for... 04/24/2014
