Second, I would like to know the following for the proposed Westinghouse nuclear fuel assembly plant in Prattville, Alabama: the request for slicensing and a copy of the flicence, the type and amount of chemical,and low.-level and high-level radio-active waste that is to be pi'oduced and its proposed disposal, how hazardous to human health the working conditions will be and what precautions have been taken, what the enviro-mental impact will be, Alabama Power Company's endorsement of the plant, Tennessee Valley Authority's and the Southern Company's endorsement of the plant, and the Southern Interstate Energy Board's endorsement of the plant, a copy of the plant's description and purpose, and the transportation routes of the common carriers bringing fuel to the plant and wastes away.

Third, the routes trucks and trains travel through Alabama carrying wastes from nuclear plants and enriched uranium to nuclear plants, their schedules, who the shippers are, what precautions have been taken to guard againet accidents, and the reports of accidents involving the transportation of fuel and waste through Alabama.
