Dear Mr. Pham:
t As a long-time employee of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in upstate New York, I am dismayed by many of the comments I hear made about the safety and security of the Indian Point Energy Center by those opposed to its continued operation beyond its current license.
Even though I am a Senior Nuclear Instructor in Radiation Protection at FitzPatrick, my job is the same as every other employee's and IPEC-to protect the health and safety of my fellow co-workers and the community at large by maintaining a safety conscious work environment. This is an abiding commitment by all members of the Entergy nuclear community, both here at JAF and at Indian Point. It is a basis for operation of all of Entergy Nuclear.
There is no question that the site's "safety first" philosophy has placed Indian Point in the top tier of commercial operating nuclear reactors in the U.S., and both management and frontline employees share the same goal - achieving even higher levels of safe, operational performance.
Thousands of men and women depend upon Indian Point for their livelihood. Whether we are full-time employees, part-time contractors or business owners who provide goods and services to the site, each and every person economically connected to this site knows once the gates close, we will lose a substantial number of jobs, homes and businesses - all of whom support the regional economy and tax base.
On behalf of my fellow Entergy co-workers - and by extension - the thousands of families, friends, neighbors and businesses that take great pride in calling Indian Point "good neighbor, trusted community partner and home," I ask that you relicense the Indian Point Energy Center for the good of the community.
Sincerely, Randy Murray Oswego, NY r_7 (ir*e~)
