President & Chief Executive Officer 150 Fayetteville Street Mall Suite 220 Raleigh, NC 27601 919-834-7252 phon e 919-834-5717 fax February 28, 2007 www.triangleul.org Nuclear Regulatory Commission U.S. NRC Region II Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center, 23 T85 61 Forsyth Street, SW Atlanta, GA 30303-8931 RE: Support for Harris Nuclear Plant License Renewal
Dear Sir or Madam:
On behalf of the more than 300 members of the Triangle Urban League, I am writing in support of license renewal for the Harris Nuclear Plant.
The Harris Plant has been a part of the local community for two decades and has proved to be an outstanding corporate citizen, providing significant economic benefits to the surrounding community. Since 1987, the plant has been generating safe and efficient electricity to more than 550,000 homes and businesses. More than 600 people work at the Harris Plant and live in the surrounding communities in Wake, Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties.
Renewing the Harris Plant's operating license will ensure that Progress Energy can continue to provide the electricity needed to fuel the growing Triangle region far into the future. As an organization that is committed to improving the quality of life of residents in the Triangle, the Urban League recognizes that renewing the license at the Harris Plant is also a key part of Progress Energy's balanced solution to meeting the growing energy needs of our region.
We support the continued safe and secure operation of the Harris Nuclear Plant and encourage the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to extend the plant's operating license an additional 20 years.
Sincerely, Keith Sutton, President & CEO Triangle Urban League
