Dear Sir or Madam:
The Rock Island County Board recently rescinded their resolution of support for license renewal for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station located at Cordova, Illinois. Enclosed is a copy of the withdrawal of support resolution for this facility.
Rock Island County is currently involved in appeals for this facilities property taxes for the 2001 and 2002 years. Exelon and Mid-American representatives have presented appraisals indicating that the plant's value is $0 (zero). The County Board feels if this plant is worthless, the license should not be renewed.
Please forward this resolution and letter to all necessary branches of the NRC to ensure that the licensing authority is aware of our position on this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 309-558-3601.
Sincerely, ames E. Bohnsack County Board Chairman JEB/sc
