~e onuos~ ~he issuqnce of an operating license for Sqlem 2 on t*.-Jo ~rounds:

1) -The reports from the Interg,;;ency Review Group cle*'i.rly estqblish the fact -that no solution to the waste problem has been foun1. The creation of more waste until ::i. perm.qnent repository is established is qn q,ct of irresponsibility of the highest magnitude.

2) The need for power h~s not been de~onstrated. The p~rticipants in Salem 2 suffer from an excess generating cqpqcity which already represents a financial burden ~

to the stockholders and consumers q,like.

The licensin~ of Sqlem 2 must be viewed id li~ht of the West v~.lley sca!'.d'1.-1, the Radon 222 11 surprise 11 , the Ras:nussen rev~l~tion qnd other misdeeds.

The lice"1:sing of S'3.lem 2 can~ot be r!ltionP..lly discus*sed withoiJt 1.fixin.2; respo~,siblity to the individuals m:.:iking _this decision.

• In ligh~ of G2SNO we see no re<=>:son why the Nuremberg Princirl.es:
