Dear Mr. Denton,

I live in the region of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. After reading, much research, and listening to "both sides" of nuclear power, I do not feel safe living this close to a nuclear reactor. I truly believe we can decrease, over a period of years, our dependence on nuclear power, in favor of safe, renewable energy (i.e. solar, wind, harnessing the tides, etc.). I am fully aware this will mean sacrafice on the part of our citizens. However, knowing the hazards of nuclear power, and particularly the failure to have safe disposal of waste, I do not feel this is much of a sacrifice.

Please revoke the operating license and hold public hearings here in our area on the decommissioning of Vermont Yankee.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely, d& MtA.- 4%

Sandra Freed Thomas
