-7 Submitter Information Name: Delbert McCombs Address: -P. O. Box 334 o.Monroe, OR, 97456 General Comment Over 700 years ago when Godfrey Chaucer was writing the Canterbury Tales, the alchemist community of Europe was devoting more than a century of its energy to the project of turning lead into gold. Many of the Lords and Ladies of Europe funded these endeavors, with the appeal of unlimited wealth pulling them on.Chaucer included the story of "the Alchemist Apprentice" among his tales. After quitting his master, the apprentice evaluated the whole business by saying that the only permanent transformation he has seen alchemists perform was this: their benefactors money disappeared and did not return.In 1951, safe, affordable nuclear power was expected to be achieved only a few years in the future. Today, after 60 years and tens of billions of dollars in government subsidies, the next generation of nuclear reactors promises to achieve this same goal in only a few decades. Meanwhile, the costs continue to increase, and spent fuel rads and other nuclear waste pile up in temporary storage facilities with no permanent disposal facility operational.

At Hanford, some of these temporary storage tanks are over fifty years old and are leaking radioactive materials into the Columbia river. Also, little accidents keep happening, like Fukushima.

And the taxpayers money, invested in subsidizing these facilities, disappears and does not return.Nuclear becomes more expensive, and has never been safe. Wind and Solar are innately safe, and their price keeps going down.Old power plants like Hanford's should be retired and cleaned up instead of extending their licenses to create more nuclear waste. New ones should not be funded. It is time to stop using our money to prop up dangerous illusions
