Submitter Information Name: Anonymous Anonymous General Comment DOCKET NUMBER NRC-2013-0178 Byron Nuclear Power Plant Relicensing I oppose the license renewal for the Byron Plant because it is a not environmentally sound and is a serious threat to human health and safety.
I am a 72 year old male retiree, residing ca. 20 miles south-southwest of the facility. I have family members--
including children--living 5-10 miles from the plant and I fear for their health and safety. Research reveals increased cancer risk for those living within 10 miles of nuclear power plants and other studies show that nuclear workers have a greater risk of cancer than the survivors of Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings in WWII.
Nuclear power plants emit radiation daily and more serious releases occur during refueling.
There is no safe level of radiation. The health consequences of exposure to continued low levels are worse than one high level exposure.
Exelon's competence in operating Byron is questionable, as indicated in "Toxic Management Erodes Safety at
'World's Safest' Nuclear Plant" by Dreux Richard (The Japan Times, March 11, 2013). The allegations in this article have not been adequately or publicly addressed by Exelon or the NRC in my estimation, and the suggestion by the NRC Public Relations staff that I dig through reams of documents to see if the situation was adequately dealt with leaves me cold. An associate of mine was a career employee at Byron who took early retirement out of frustration and disgust, stating, "Nuclear power is fine--if its done right." (And also indicates that most of the above mentioned ariticle is true).
I recommend tthat the NRC institute policies and procedures to assure that Exelon and other plant operators maintain management practices th@Ldo not intimidate employees who are trying to ensure safe operation of https://www.fdms.gov/fdms-web-agency/component/contentstreamer?objectld=090000648 1 a0el b8&for...
02/23/2015
Page 2 of 2 nuclear power plants, and to inform the public of violations of said policies and remediation of said violations.
Toxic management does not assure safety for the health of the environment, the public, and staff.
The alternatives to the renewal of the Byron license are clear and viable: Wind, solar and other renewable energy sources are now environmentally and economically sound. It is time to let this Nuclear Neanderthal technology die a hopefully swift death.
Thank you.
