 Dear Mr. Wyka,
 
 The current Complex 2030 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is
 too limited. The EIS should include assessment of an alternative
 that would abandon plans to build new nuclear weapons, make deep
 reductions in the U.S. nuclear stockpile, and consolidate
 existing nuclear weapons facilities to the greatest extent
 possible. 
 
 Under this option, managing the U.S. nuclear stockpile will be
 more efficient, less costly, and more consistent with the goal
 of reducing U.S. reliance on nuclear weapons.
 
 Also, as part of the review, the Department of Energy should
 prepare a nonproliferation impact assessment of Complex 2030 to
 determine how the plan would affect the U.S. goal of stopping
 the spread of nuclear weapons, and whether the project is
 consistent with U.S. treaty obligations to eliminate nuclear
 weapons.
 
 The aim of nuclear power is spent fuel rods (nuclear waste) from
 which weapons are made. Atom bombs, easier are dirty bombs,
 so-called depleted uranium ordinance, not electricity, That is
 why 40 sovereign countries have nuclear power. 
 
 Dr. John Gofman says there is no safe dose of man-made ionizing
 radiation. We should not add to it with new nuclear power
 plants.
 Nuclear power is the most dangerous form of electricity. It is
 the heat which makes steam that powers electric generators.
 Albert Einstein once said, "Nuclear power is one hell of a way
 to boil water".
 
 Liability is paid by the tax payer under the Price/Anderson Act.
 Electric rate payers subsidize nuclear power and waste disposal.
 There is big money and political power in nuclear waste, in
 killing people, in a toxic regime. Nuclear power pollutes the
 environment and will not stop global warming according to
 studies.
