You cannot, no one can point to a single environmental impact that this facility would have on the host community.

We will be bringing that message back to Washington, DC.

Maintaining requirements for emergency response and preparedness at least until all fuel is out of the spent fuel pool and put into dry casks.

We have to make sure that we put common sense into the regulatory framework in order to protect the ratepayers, but also the safety and well being of the citizens of Plymouth.

We are in a period of great tension with the Russians right now.

The proposed decommissioning rule doesn't allow the decommissioning trust fund to be used for spent fuel management.

I think it is very important that Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute be a part of this process.

I think we need that the NRC accept the fact that post-shutdown decommissioning activity reports should be approved by the NRC in order to ensure that there is support for community and stakeholder involvement, accuracy, and environmental…

the proposed rule is penny wise for nuclear plants and operators, but pound foolish for communities which have already been largely ignored.

Let's put a process in place that doesn't necessarily elicit this level of public skepticism because it has been transparent.

Without a viable solution for the long term storage of nuclear waste, it is clear that spent fuel will remain in dry casks at independent spent fuel storage installations for longer than originally anticipated.

Has the NRC ever asked a plant to modify a submitted PSDAR?

I am deeply troubled that the proposed decommissioning rule would essentially codify the process of regulating by exemption.

Just so that people can understand, if Entergy, the owner of the plant, had kept ownership and had begun the decommissioning, the State of Massachusetts would not have been able to intervene.

We need a restoration of trust, so that we improve the rule and improve community engagement.

Do license termination plans have the same information in detail as a shutdown report?

Has any plant ever been told that it needs a new NEPA review?

I think the people who are going to be attending the public hearing have a right to know what the answers to those questions are before you have the public hearing.
