Gentlemen:

Enclosed is a petition seeking your immediate recon-sideration of the May 7, 1979 Order insofar as it permits Oconee Units 1 and 2 to remain in operation while all other Babcock and Wilcox reactors were shut down immediately be-cause of the threat they posed to public health and safety.

The basis for this petition is the fact that, contrary to the misleading and erroneous assertions made to the Com-missioners, shutting of all Oconee Units would not result in any legitimate power supply deficiency. This fact is clearly proven by the attached analysis by Dr. V. Taylor, which shows that the reserve margin in the VACAR service territory is more than adequate with the Oconee Units shutdown.

We urge you to take immediate action.

Very truly yours, UNION OF CONCERNED SC ENTISTS Ellyn R. eiss General Counsel Enclosure cc: Leonard Bickwit, Esquire General Counsel 2281 024 Docketing & Service ,
