Dear Commissioner Ahearne,

I've recently read a brief prepared by the Pennsyl-vania State Consumer Advocate, which clearly states that Philadelphia Electric does not need the two nuclear reactors being built in Limerick. . .either.now or in the projected future. "P.E.C.O. still is burdened with chronic excess capacity of large order." "It is more economical for ratepayers to absorb the after tax

$700 million invested in Limerick and construct several small coal plants." "The company failed to adjust to changing conditions... continued excessive dependence on baseload plants will incur over one billion dollars in unwarranted costs to ratepayers through 1992."

In view of all the additional problems with this site: high population, earthquake fault, lack of adequate water supply---I feel it paramount to halt construction on this facility immediately. I think the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has enough to do monitoring present operating reactors and should not allow construction to continue on units that aren't even needed.-

Sincerely,

& C de.-
