20555 Re: Re-opening Big Rock Nuclear Plant
Dear Mr. Henry:
IN I have received the enclosed ccmmunication from my constituent Mr. Ronald Beyer who is representing the Northern Michigan Alternative Oevelopment and Northwest Coalition.
They very much oppose the re-opening of the Big Rock Nuclear Power plant in Charlevoix 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 f acility.
With best wishes, DON ALBOSTA Member of Congress DA/mi Encl:1

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 Powe-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 cower have called Big Rock possibly the most dancerous nuke in the U.S.,
The Southwest Research Group of New Mexico has called Big Rock TH most dangerous nuke in the country, The Union of Concerned Scientists has named Big Rock as one of the ten mos+ dangerous (no breakdown was given to the order).
Big Rock is one of the oldest operating nukes in the country, this alene is cause for concern.
Also of concern is that Big Rc:k is exemp' from.and does...not meet even the minimal '72 safety standards, (stricter standards on the industry were imposed by the NRC in '76 and fur *her 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 Edison, suf fered a partial meltdown, an incident so severe that it can be summed up that we almost lost Detroit.
It would be a horrible and tragic sequel to this incident that,13 years later, the same thing could happen again,in Michigan, this time near Charlevoix.
Maybe this time we won't be so lucky.
Please hele us stop the chance of such an occurrence, any assistance or feedback on this ma*ter would be greatly acpreciated.
incerely yours.
