Dear Chairman Hendrie:

Americans For Nuclear Energy (AFNE), this nation's largest pro-energy citi: ens group, strongly urges you and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to immediately end the outrageous moratorium on licensing new nuclear energy installations.

Storeover, Americans For Nuclear Energy believes it is in the best interest of our nation that North Anna 2 nucicar- power plant and all others now tully ready for licerisiiig be allowed to begin operation immediately.

We agree fully with Virginia Governor John Dalton's recent action to end the bureaucratic entanglement surrounding the decision to open North Anna 2.

Americans For Nuclear Energy believes that with current international energy supplies severely uncertain, it is mandatory for the United States to show the world we will take the steps necessary to become more energy self-sufficient.

Allowing North Anna 2 and its sister plants to operate will be a major step in that direction.

Commissioner Hendrie, your recent actions in assuming the actual responsibilities of Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Cemmission have shown exemplary leadership qualities. We applaud your efforts to give the NRC one single voice and decision-maker.

We urge you to make that voice a positive one for America's energy future.

Sincer ,

Dear Mr. Henrie" .

.. .~

I urge you to take every' reasonable step possible to expedite

. s ; licensing..of Virginia Ele _ctric Power Company's North Anna No. 2 ,

- " nuclear unit.- :At.the present' time Vepco is. greatly. dependent

' on oil to me.et its electric generation needs. This extremely ',

~

high import of foreign; oil is not only bankrupting our nation, '

but also-the consumers here in Eastern North Carolina, who -

ultimately. have 'to pay the high cost of imported oil.

(

.. ,t.

'If it's' safe, let'them cut it on. If it is not safe, tell them-what to do to get it .right. We need_not only lower cost of _

energy in our area, but an adequate supply to carry us through '

the' winter months.u f,; ,

. ,k:

Thank'you for your coo 3eration.
