There is no reasonable justification to re-license this defunct nuclear reactor. It should be made required and cannot possibly meet today's new found standards of operation so allowing this reactor to be restarted and at some later date, is an irresponsible action. This reactor should be forced to go through all necassary relicensing as a new reactor would and meet all present standards without exception aswell. Or the leaky pipes under a reactor now commonly being found should disqualify it at the least and of the number of faults of old reactors now being found.
