Subject:

Today's phone session regarding Hanford Hi Daniel, Please forward my email to the appropriate party. -,-I stayed on the line and listened in to each of the callers pa y iting my turn, but apparently was never taken off of "listen only" mode so was unable to offer testimony. I wonder how many other callers had the same problem? Was there something I was supposed to do to indicate I wanted to be called upon? If so, it would have been helpful to have the directions repeated at intervals for callers signing in after 2pm.Testimony: Re-licensing of the Hanford reactor should be based on safety first, energy need second. As for jobs, the Tri-Cities area would benefit from diversifying their energy resources and job dependence away from nuclear. The area is a prime location for Solar. A report coming out in November will disclose that the entire State of Washington is capable of being carbon neutral by 2030. Washington State can over time eliminate Nuclear energy from its energy portfolio. Nuclear is neither clean nor green. I learned of the personal impacts on humans from 9 months of interviewing people all over Western Washington who had direct experience with the health effects of living near Hanford or had relatives who were down wind or along the Columbia River down stream from Hanford.The risks of using plutonium mixed waste needs to have full disclosure in the Environmental Impact Statement. Relicensing consideration needs to be postponed until a full EIS has been completed, we know what was damaged at Fukushima and why, and until Energy Northwest has complied with the release of documents requested by Heart of America.The issue of transporting plutonium from around the country has not been sufficiently addressed. Communities located along transportation lines have a right to participate in this debate.Further, phone conferences in the middle of a work day is insufficient to public participation. Stake holders have a right to full disclosure of the debate going on, the risks involved with an opportunity to testify.Thank you for taking testimony. Wendy DiPeso Shoreline Washington = /Y 47 C?-6}}
