Dear Sir:

y I was disturbed to learn from several of my constituents that there may be weakening of foundation rock at the Limerick nuclear power plant site as a result of an extended period of construction blasting. t-Evidently, in a December 18 meeting with Philadelphia .

~

Electric of ficials, my constituents were advised that the blasting had no adverse effect on either the foundation rock or the proper

~

setting of concrete in the containment structure. However, the study seemed to be conducted solely through Philadelphia Electric.

I would greatly appreciate your checking into this matter and determining whether the cracks in the foundation rock have been increased by the blasting. I would appreciate a full report from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on this problem.  : ..

r I look forward to hearing from you shortly on this request. .

With best wishes, .
