Dear Mr. Frenette:

Thank you for contacting my office with your concerns.

In an effort to be of help, I have taken the liberty of forwarding your correspondence to officials at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to ask that your comments be given appropriate consideration as the agency decides how to proceed.

Please feel free to contact me if I may be of assistance with any other federal matters.

Sincerely, KGXXLV .. ~

12/21/05 16:33 FAX 8178608211 US NRC RIV 1l0 I live in the West Valley (Glendale). I am concerned with the recent shut down, if you would answer a few questions it may set my mind at ease.

What caused the 2 reactor shut down?

Are the NRC overreacting?

How long until the plant comes back online? (are we talking about months or Years)

Are employees being paid during shut down?

Was it a break down inthe cooling system, a flaw in design, or another problem that caused the shut down?

Why did the NRC wait until now?

What is the mood among the management at the plant (flustered, peeved, worried, other)?

Why the lack of info to the public?

Thanks Dan Frenette Email ssl ls~aol.com DEC-21-2005 17:35 81786082119? P-03
