As part of g concern for the senselers proliferation of nuclear ene plants acroes this country, I wish to inform the Commierion of y opposition to the planned construction of the Allene Creek nuclear energy plant just West of Houeton, Texas.

As a resident of southwest Houston, I live well within fifty miles of the Allene Creek plant site. We are virtually next door neighborr. No one would deny that the operation of a nuclear en-rey plant presente great potential hazarde. It giver me great concern t@t g family, my neighbors and I, may very likely be adversely affected by radiation from this plant-even barring a major accident.

We are all aware of the tremendoue, unavoidable cost of building nuclear plants rafe enough to reduce their inherent rieke to an acceptable level.

These costs aleo tell us it is very difficult to do-especially with your fingere crossed.

In the end, the risks and the coste are borne by the public--the coneumer.

Both riekr, and coste are presently at an unacceptable level. Nuclear energy has proven not to be the cheap, clean energy we were once told it would be.

Above ali, it has not proven itself to be a eafe supply of energy. In time it may do co-but more time le neceerary. The concpolietic energy companies are willing to bet in their own interest that nuclear energy is rafe. I hope they are right. But let's not gamble--the human stakes are far too high should we lose the bet.

Accordingly, I ark that I be made a full party to any future construction permit hearings. It har been my understanding in the part that rertrictions on contentione did not permit me to intervene, eo I made no attempt to da ro.

I underrtand it is now corrible for me to take part in the hearinge, eo I intend to do so.

I will look for your early reply Thank you.
