~,

Cear Sirs Recently I have been reading soc:a disturbing things about the imclear rower plants being built here in Missouri. I was wondering whether the following things are true or not, in your opinion.

Is it true that the Callaway nuclear reactors are going to cost $2.6 billion and be used only 30 years?

Is it true that in 30 years the reactors will be just piles of radio-active junk and that nobody knows how nuch it will cost to dis:antle them?

Is it true that the power users and/or the people of I'issouri will have to pay for dia:santling the reactors, since this cost has not been fic. red into the initial cost of the reactors?

Is it true that no one knows what to do with the tons of radioactive vsste frois the plants, so this waste will have to be stored near the plants indefintely?

Is it true that theoe wastes re ain deadly for at least 500,000 years?

Is it true that a nuclear accident would conta:sinate a 100 =ile radius around the plant, and that cuch catastrophic accidents nearly happened in tetroit in 1966, and in Brown's Ferry, Alabama in 19757 If these things are true, why are we allo.dnu tLese reactors to be built in our state, and what po'ssitie benefit could be worth this enor=ous cost and danger? If these things are not true, what ere the ecrrect f acts, ao that the fear I feel fro:n what I have read be put to rest 7 1. hat is your position en nuclear power in F.issouri?
