<QIISS OH A petition is hereby filed with respect of the operating license of the Florida Florida'PR231981~

to the issuanc Power. and Light

~8 Unit 2 of the St. Lucie Nuclear power plant site on Hut- -'1) chinson Island, St. Lucie County,

'he petitioner is Helen Shea Viells, 93 El Mar Drive Jen-sen Beach, Florida. The interest of the petitioner in these proceedings .results from the following:

l. As an eight year resident of Beach Club Colony located 'on Hutchinson Island six miles south of the power plant I also represent 1500 pro-perty owners on the island.

2. These residents object to the complete lack of any safety precautions in the event of a nuclear accident.

3. The one narrow road, A-1-A has traffic pro-blems now.

O'he alarming rate of construction approved by St. Lucie County commissioners plans for a population of approximately 20,000 people in a six mile area south of the plant.

5. The only exit is a bridge 18 miles north of the Martin County line and two bridges six Ec ten miles south of the nuclear pl'ants in a different county, (Martin Co.)

6. During November-March there exists waits of 20 minutes getting on 8 off the island on the Martin County bridges.

7 Presently. there exists no publicwarning system and there seems to be a dispute .between the Department of Disaster Control in Martin St. Ec Lucie Counties as to which system should be and whether Fla. Power Ec'Light should pay 'sed for this system. This leaves:,the residents in the middle.

Petition re. St. Lucie Unit 2 The Hutchinson Xsland Coalition with its 1500 members is aware that the HRC staff will conduct safety and environ-mental reviews before it grants any license. However, we "y want to go on record with you to emphasize the urgent need for proper safety precautions. Vie hope that there will be a plan for evacuation just as soon as possible and we would appreciate your assistance in this matter at your earliest convenience.

The seven points as outlined show how we would be affected by the proceedings as well as the specific aspects Sincerely,

,f/'5. gi(,,'~-,. z/
