Reed -19%.n1 I-r-n Cl)-~fl~-' ~m C-)General Comment I am very concerned about the temporary storage of radioactive waste because of the horrible damage it causes to the environment, humans and sentient beings. For the sake of ourselves and future generations we need to address this issue. I agree with all the points made by Beyond Nuclear as listed below.The preferred alternative is to stop making irradiated nuclear fuel. NRC should cease licensing atomic reactors, which inevitably generate high-level radioactive waste, deadly for at least a million years. This includes the rejection of any more combined Construction and Operating License Applications (COLAs) for proposed new atomic reactors.

For the nearly 70,000 metric tons of irradiated nuclear fuel currently stored at U.S. atomic reactors, Hardened On-Site Storage (HOSS) should be required.

The risks of pool leaks into groundwater, which then flow into surface waters downstream

-- as have occurred at Indian Point 2 & 3 (NY/Hudson River), The risks of pool fires must be considered in this EIS. The risks of pool fires must be considered in this EIS. The risks of current dry cask storage must also be considered in this EIS.Thank you considering my comments.SUNSI Review Complete Template = ADM -013 E-RIDS= ADM-03 Add= S.
