RR 1, Otis, Eansas 67563 Jr.nuary 2, 1979 L. 3. ..uclear Re;ulatory Cornission

.32:.r air:

e use of any nuclear power plant in any circu . stance presents a great potential haca-d, and the dangers are increased greatly when poor ' orkunship a .d/or raterials are involved; such a situation exists at the ~.iolf Cree't :;uclear iover Flant under construction near Burlington, i.ansas: at that site the concrete for supporting the reactor vessel is of substandard quality. The inpo:tance of excellent concrete for such a significant project cannot be overenphasized: if one sna11 volume of concrete proves to be defective, the entire plant easi]y co ld be totally inoperative and very dangerous.

Actuaily, i:ansas does not need the plant: nunerous alternative sources of e.ergy are available in sufficient quantity. At best, the dangers inherent in the 71ant cutreigh all benefits; and the costs of construction, naintenance, and dis 7ccal a e too excessive. 1:any Kansans, perhaps a najority, are opposed to the plant and prefer other sources of energy.

Therefore, we urge you to halt inmediately and permanently all vork at the

.ic1f Jraek :;uclear Feuer Plant near Burlington,1:ansas.

.ie thank you for your 1 r.ediate attention to this letter.
