11340 S.W. 70th Terrace Miami, FL 33173 (305) 274-5013 November 8, 1989 Honorable Dante B. Fascell United States Congressman 2354 Rayburn House Office Building Washington,.D.C.
20510 Dear Congressman Fascell:
I am writin to ou to re uest our su ort in forcin a shutdown Turke~
oint nuc ear power ant ecause of safet violations.
I have been
~!n.ormeWhaf an Atomic a ety icensing hearing is scheduled for January 10, 1989.
This clearly indicates a gross breach of responsibility on the parts of FPL, NRC, and our local, state and federal representatives.
I don't think I need to remind you of the recent Chernoble disaster.
I am certain that Miami would not like to enjoy the same reputation.
It has also been brought to my attention that the NRC used to evaluate 12 functional areas at the Turkey Point plant and now only evaluate 7 functional areas.
This is an additional point of concern.
I think you would want to agree that with regard to something as important as potential nuclear disaster we would want to do everything humanly possible to assure 100% reliability and safety.
Ifwe can not effect the shutdown oi Turkey Point, eriaini FPL should be forced to replace the reactor vessels which have been dama e
ra iation over tte ears.

our monthly power bill, however, where life and death are concerned I think a few dollars more would be preferable.
t Sincerely, It is my understanding that in 1984 FPL was cited for poor performance at Turkey Point; again in 1986; in 1987 there was allegedly an incident involving unauthorized personnel being allowed to operate the control valves of a live reactor operating at full power; in 1988 there was a leak of 3300 gallons of radioactive water; and in 1989 FPL accrued penalties in the amount of approximately 1.5 million dollars for violations of federal safety regulations.
