Dear Ms. Regner:
Z
)
I attended the NRC Limerick Generating Station License Renewal public meeting at Sunnybrook Ballroom on 9/22/11. I listened attentively to comments from all 15 speakers at the evening session and took into account all the pro and con arguments presented. Despite all the reassurances from Exelon representatives about the safety and efficacy of the generating station's nuclear power, I have serious reservations and concerns about these issues.
First of all, considering the impact of the outcome to the many area residents, this forum was not widely publicized for local citizens to be aware of this important matter and offer feedback. Secondly, it does not make sense that Exelon is pursuing renewal for a license that does not expire until 2024. This action seems very premature.
I will briefly summarize my chief concerns. The scientific statistics citing the dramatic increase in cancer rates, infant mortality, and Schuylkill River water pollution are disturbing. Also, it seems to me that the situation of unprotected above ground casks holding radioactive waste, as well as past safety failures and deviations in operations must be reviewed and addressed. I tend to agree with the fourteen reasons offered by the Alliance For A Clean Environment why Exelon should be denied the renewal license. In my opinion, the long-term negative consequences caused by the Limerick Generating Station far outweigh any possible benefits it may contribute. Other forms of energy can and must be utilized to meet energy consumption demands.
Thank you for arranging the public meetings to discuss this serious matter. I trust you will take my comments into consideration and urge Exelon to provide other such forums with widespread notification beforehand so that more interested citizens can participate.
Sincerely, Camilla Lange 616 W. Schuylkill Road Apt. 164 Pottstown, PA 19465 camilla nqe,*verizon. net C) 5g F-F-
