Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (NUREG-1437, Supplement 29).
The three signatories strongly support the comments submitted by Pilgrim Watch. We concur that the draft Environmental Impact Statement ignores new and significant information and relies on incorrect assumptions about Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations as they relate to environmental and public health impacts.
One particular point of concern is NRC's conclusion that the alternatives to relicensing would have a significantly higher negative impact on the environment than relicensing. In Section 8.2.5.11, NRC downplays the potential of using energy efficiency to replace Pilgrim's capacity, citing federal and state forecasts that incorporate conservation measures and still show rising demand over the next several decades. The assumption that energy efficiency cannot reverse the trend of rising demand is incorrect. Efficiency is becoming far more widely accepted as an alternative to supply, and New England is poised to ramp up efficiency investments significantly. Current regulatory barriers to efficiency will likely begin to fall as well - as they did last year in Rhode Island, when the state adopted legislation that will require utilities to look at efficiency as a cheaper alternative to supply. The low costs of efficiency - approximately 1/3 the cost of wholesale power' - are no small reason for newfound enthusiasm in the region.
In considering the alternatives to relicensing, NRC should consider a scenario with greatly expanded energy efficiency investments in the region. As proposed in Section 8.2.6, efficiency could be combined with other alternatives to replace Pilgrim's capacity.
In general, the Pilgrim plant suffers from the same persistent problems of safety, security and storage as the nuclear industry in general. Even within the narrow scope of this review of the impacts of relicensure, there is ample evidence for denying the extension. Daily radiation releases, the vast amounts of radioactive waste stored on site at the plant, damaged fisheries, and the risk of a terrorist attack are just some of the compelling reasons for letting the plant be decommissioned at the end of its planned lifespan - in 2012.
'See "Energy Efficiency: The Smart Way to Reduce Global Warming Pollution in the Northeast." National Association of State PIRGs. August, 2005. http://www.newenglandclimate.o6rg/files/rggiefficiency2O05.pdf
Given the many unanswered or inadequately answered questions about the environmental and public health impacts of extending the life of this plant, we respectfully ask that this commission approach the re-licensing of the Pilgrim nuclear plant with great caution and take into account the many concerns raised by the opponents of re-licensing. We are confident that, taking the entire picture into account, there will be ample grounds for denying relicensure.
