To Whom It May Concern:
The re-licensing of these two reactors for an additional twenty years should be hatted for safety reasons, particularly in light of the recent events in Japan.
The risks of an accident, fires, or explosions at one or more reactors at the site could increase with aging reactors.
Safer, cleaner alternative ways to generate the same power exist today and should be used.
Studies have found that energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, which are abundant in Texas, could replace the power generated by these two old nuclear reactors.
These reactors consume vast quantities of water use, largely from the Colorado River, water that is needed for drinking water, livestock and farming.
There is no adequate solution for radioactive waste so it makes no sense to continue generating more.
