If Applicant is permitted to build ACNGS, 'Jr. Alexander and his "anily will live in their Hous+or residence under the constant shadow of uncertainty. They canno+ be assured that this facility is safe. Were the plant onerators trained nronerlv? Is the plant structurally sound? Will seismic activity initiate an irreversible reaction that leads to a core mel+down? These and a host of other unanswered ouestions shall haun+ the Alexander family as they reside in Houston.

This doubt and uncertainty will not be without a price.

The psychological toll exacted upon :dr. Alexander and his family cannot be stated in tangible terms. Will his produc-tivity decline? Will he and his family be able to cope with the added burden of this nuclear menace? Nill his children grow un neurotic, knowing no safe environment, but only a day-by-day Drayerful existence?

The Anplicant must remove these doubts before any construc-tion Dermits are granted. And only the Petitioner's partici-nation in this proceedinc can insure tha* those doubts are thoroughly esnoused.

CONCLUSION The above discussion delineates the Petitioner's interest in the above-captioned proceeding. To safeguard the welfare of himself and of his family, the Petitioner implores the Anceal Board to grant him leave to intervene.

Respectfully submi+ted,

[ bw Robert Alexander
