Dear Sir:

tie are w:-iting to express our strong support for the Petition for Leave to Intervene and Ecquest for Hearing filed by the Philippine Movement for Environmental Pro-tection, on April 19, 1979, in the above-captioned pro-ceedings, concerning the proposed export of a nuclear power reactor and fuel to the Philippines by the Westing-house Electric Corporation.

ie are residents of the Philippines, deeply worried abouy the serious rists to health, safety, and well-being of the public posed. by the proposed nuclear exports. Our people vill be affected by the decision of the Cc: mission on the pending application. Specifically, we are con-

.cerned about:

1. the effect of the ac 221 operationc of the plant on the health and safety of people living close to the plant;

2. the danger to us of an accident involving :he reklase of radiation, like the one which oc. cured at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in the US;

3. the risks of a nuclear accident due to earthquazes ar volcanic eruptione in the vicinity of the plant; 4 the adequacy of contingency plans in the event of an energency, including the evacuation of tnose of us living near the plant;

5. the safecy of arrangenenes f ar the novement and dispc sal of radioacti7e wastas generated by :he piln* and One cisposal of the plant i:celf at the end Of its useful life.

oc are appealing to the Oc rission to i; rant the FMZP a he (more) r 7 c^) , i; 'I >>

-ing beca use the Filipino public has been effectively denied any right to participate in the decision here o the Philippine Huclear Pcwer diant. we have been un-able to gain access Oc accurate information concerning the risks of nuclear power. Lur pe#itions and plaas rcr a full public hvalinsion of the plans for the plan have been ignored totally by those ccacernet. Iven the decision of the Philippine Atomic Energy Co==ission on april 4,1979 to licenso the cccctruccion cf the plant har been withheld frc: the public. Our only hope is an open hearing before the Commission.

' e request that the Oo==ission send us copies of any of its future decisions or crders concerning the pro-posed nuclear exporta.

Looking forward to your response.

Sincerely, Juh.m t3 dett- A %O h Y
