PT. BEACH COMMENTS: 30 MORE years of risk to Lake Michigan?!

Point Beach Unit 1 & 2 atomic reactors, Two Rivers, WI on Lake Michigan shore
Thanks to all who submitted comments.
1,288 were submitted via Regulations.gov
by last night's (10:59pm Central) deadline. If the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission's call-in/webinar
is any indication, the vast majority were opposed to the twin reactors'
"subsequent" 20-year extension
: on February 17, 15 of 16 verbal comments were opposed to
the license extension
(the only one in favor was by a Point Beach V.P.). We submitted
14 sets of comments
, including regarding embrittlement at Unit 2, the worst in the U.S. The next challenge is March 23's deadline for interventions at NRC's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. We look forward to working with
Physicians for Social Responsibility-Wisconsin
and others to meet it.
