Town Of Cortlandt: Comments For The July 29, 2021 NRC Public Meeting

Press release from the Town of Cortlandt:

July 29, 2021

TO:                         (NRC) Nuclear Regulatory Commission

FROM:                  Town of Cortlandt Supervisor Linda Puglisi

DATE:                    July 27, 2021

RE: Comments for the July 29, 2021 Government-to-Government meeting and to be submitted to the Public Hearing record

I have been the elected Town Supervisor of the Town of Cortlandt for 30 years and have attended all of the hearings and key meetings the NRC has held regarding Indian Point nuclear plants throughout the years.

Previously I have raised questions and concerns about safety measures at these plants and also about the NRC’s role as a check and balance on the many issues pertaining to nuclear facilities and specifically in our area (Village of Buchanan/Town of Cortlandt, New York).

Now, along with many other elected officials that represent our area, many citizens and from environmental groups I submit my questions, concerns and issues to the NRC regarding the decommissioning phase of Indian Point’s three nuclear plants, which are now all closed as of April 30, 2021:

I look forward to receiving answers to my questions.  As I mentioned before I have been Supervisor for three decades and have listened to many NRC panels that have not always answered questions fully. We now must and insist on all of the questions answered to better disseminate information to our residents and community.

Thank you,

Supervisor Linda D. Puglisi
