Dear Mr. Hendrie:
I wish to coinmend the action of the N.R.C.
in placing a freeze upon the licensing of any new nuclear plants.
However, in view of the magnitude of the risk to the public inherent in the nuclear power industry, the action the N.R.C. has taken at this time is simply not enough.
Rep. Toby Moffett came right to the point when he
. asked you, while you were testifying before the House subcommittee recently, "If we are really concerned about safety, why don't we shut down some existing plants?"
Ideally, all nuclear plants should be shut down until a thorough study can be made of the relative safety and potential risk of each individual plant.
If the N.R.C.
is not willing to take this action, there should at least be an immediate shut-down of all plant.s in populated areas and all plants constructed by contractors who have built plants which have proven to be a hazard to the public.
In particular I am hereby requesting that the N.R.C.
take action to immediately shut down r'orida Power Cor-poration's Crystal River Nuclear Plant located in Crystal River, Florida.
As you must know, the Crystal River Plant was built by the same contractor which built the Three-Mile Island Reactor.
In terms of a nuclear acci-dent, the Crystal River Plant is dangerously close to 16h347 19121803 U
~
l the heavily populated Tampa /St. Petersburg area.
As a resident of Tampa, Florida, I am obviously deeply concerned for the safety of my family and community.
Please don't let us down.
Sincerely, f
