f, D Sir:

  • U I and my husband and our two children, ages 7 and 11, live in Lebanon, approximately 17 miles from Three Mile Island.

I cannot begin to explain what a frightening experience this has been for.ua, my pregnant sister and sister-in-law who each live 20 miles from the reactor, and for thousands of others.

I'm sure that those who live closer than us must be terrified by this whole unnecessary fiasco even = ore than I.

And think of the poor Y:rk County fa=ilj wh:,> ficd, only to have their small son drown in Baltimore.

It never would have happened if TML was safe.

TMI was strongly opposed by many who cited specific and general safety precautions and devices which should be in operation in the plant and are not.

The plant is NOT SAFE and never has been, Maybe now you people will think about taking a second look. With a pricetag of $1 billion, which came from high taxes from our thin wallets, the least we have a right to expect is safety. There are far too many people, livestock and natural resources abounding to take such a chance with totally unsafe equipment with such destructive potential.

I demand that you CLOSE the plant immediately and permanently 3 NOTilING is worth risking the precious lives of our children and our people, and the natural resources we cherish and love so.

When you made false promises and claims to the people of southcentral Pennsylvania, you carried a duty and assumed an obligation to those same people and their property.

So far it seems that you may be beginning to get the reactor under control, but at what expense?

No one really knows what damage has been done to our pregnant women and our small children, and to the men who bravely tried to repair the reactor. You have made a grave mistake, and we demand that you close down the plant permanently.

Sincerely, f /

,t Mrs. Eileen M. Kropf Spring 11111 Acres 309 Spring 11111 Lane Lebanon, PA 17042 PLEASE RESPOND 8002120 h
