20555 Re: Re-7pening Big Rock Nuclear Plant
Dear Mr. Henry:
I have received the enclosed communication from-my constituent Mr. Ronald Beyer who is representing the Northern Michigan Alternative Development and Northwest Coalition.
They rery much oppose the re-opening of the Big Rock Nuclear Power Plant in Charlevoir citing its age and safety record as reason for their fear of disaster.
I would like to bring his concern to your attention and ask that you take every precaution in reactivating the facility.
With best wishes,

Dear Don Albosta,
I am writing for assistance in regards to a matter which may have detrimental effects on the very lives of all citizens living in Northern Lower Michigan.
Consumers Power Co. has announced it's plans to put it's Big Rock Point Nuclear Power Plant back on line in mid-October.
Qualified opconents to nuclear oower have called Big-Rock possibly the most dan =erous nuke in the U.S.,
The Southwest Research Group of New Mexico has called Big Rock THF most dangerous nuke in the c oun r.ry, The Union of Concerned Scientists has named Big Rock as c le of the ten nos' dan =erous (no breakdown was given to the order).
Big Rock is one of the oldest operating nukes in the country, this alone is cause for conce rn.
Also of concern is that Big Rock is exempt from-and does...not meet even the minimal '72 safety standards, (stricter standards on the industry were imposed by the NRC in '76 and further guidelines will be stricter yet due to the Three Mile Island incident).
13 years ago, on Oct.
6'h, the Fermi 1 Nuclear Plant, operated by Detroit Edis or., su f fe red a partial meltdown, an incident so severe that it can ce cu.T~ed up tnat ae almost lost Detroit.
It would be a horrible and tragic sequel to this incident that,13 years later, the same thine could hapoen arain,in Michigen, this time near Charlevoix.
Ma:tbe Inis time we won't be so lucky.
Please heln us stor the chance of such an occurrence, any assistance or feedback on this
.a.ter would be greatly aopreciated.
