On February 23, the NYS Public Service Commission (PSC) is holding a public hearing on the Indian Point license transfer from Entergy to Comprehensive Decommissioning International, LLC (CDI) -- a joint venture of Holtec International and SNC-Lavalin, the company that has proposed to decommission the plant when it
closes in April of this year. Because of their long history of safety violations, financial misdealings, bribery, corruption and other malfeasance, we believe that Holtec should be disqualified from holding the license, which would give the company control of the $2.1 billion Decommissioning Trust Fund, and that the PSC should use their jurisdiction to deny this license transfer based on the serious concerns outlined below.
Because the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ignored the call from NY’s Congressional members and local and state elected officials to hold a public hearing on Holtec’s License Transfer Application, this is the only opportunity for public comment on it. Please take this opportunity to submit a comment urging the PSC to reject the license transfer in the best interests of New York State.
