YORE CHAIRMAN ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 1717 H ST NORTHWEST WASHINGTON DC 20555 BECAUSE OF THE PRESENT SERIOUS SITUATION AT THE THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN PENNSYLVANIA, I RE55PECTFULLY INSIST THAT YOU HOLD UP LICENSING OF DUKE POWER COMPANY'S PROPOSED PERKINS NUCLEAR PLANT IN NORTH CAROLINA UNTIL ALL QUESTIONS OF NUCLEAR SAFETY ARISING FROM THE THREE MILE ISLAND EXPERIENCE HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT IN PEFNSYLVANIA HAS CREATED WIDESPREAD SUSPICION ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, AND PUBLIC DISTRUST OF THE NUCLEAR LICENSING AND REGULATORY PROCESS.

THE SPECTRE OF NUCLEAR DISASTER LOOMS 'IN THE PUBLIC MIND, IF NOT IN REALITY, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO' PROCEED WITH ANY NUCLEAR PROJECT UNTIL A CLEAR DETERMINATION IS MADE CONCERNING THE CAUSE, EFFECT, AND CORRECTION OF THE NEAR-DISASTER AT THREE MILE ISLAND.
