A ADDRESS CHANGE NOTICE 7 OFFICE PARK CIRCLE H.S. ANDERSON o,nJiuinT,'<",'s',,a TRUCKING COMPANY Responsible - Dependable Service Since 1944 December 6, 1979 SIZE & WEIGHT The Honorable Harold R. Denton HuvyMAut Director, Nuclear Reactor Regulation Office 1717 H Street N. W.

Dear Mr. Denton:
e TEXAS It has recently come to my attention that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission decided to stop issuing construction permits and opera-t vis'^"^
ting licenses for nuclear power plants.
o. ouA I beiieve that this decision was made without giving proper thought
"'88'S5'"'
to the unacceptable conditions that would prevail if the permits AnuusAs were not issued.
If my information is correct, nuclear power is the cheapest power that we can use and on top of that our inflation
^ ' ' * ^ " ^
rate in this country is running out of control primarily due to the high price of oil and our dependence on foreign sources for our i c.c. ctarmcAte supply.
Mc-07006 As long as we have human beings involved we will never have a production rex. n a c.
system of any kind that is 100% safe whether it be mining coal, drilling for oil or operating nuclear power plants.
From what I understand, t#.s c.
production of nuclear energy is safer than the aforementioned sources of energy.
Being in the trucking business the increase in the cost of diesel fuel has come home to me in a big way.
I see nuclear energy as a weapon to reduce my dependence on a foreign supply of oil.
I strongly urge you to reconsider this decision by the Commission and to put things in proper focus.
Do not give the same Neight j
