Three Alile Island, N.R. R.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 i

Dear Sir:

I am writing in reference to the NRC Staff's Second Addendum to the Environmental Assessment for Decontamination of Three Alile Island Unit 2 Reactor Building Atmosphere. (Addendum 2 to NUREG - 0662) Having received this information nearly two weeks after it was released.

I am strongly in opposition to the decontamination of the containment i

building (although it is already to late), only to contaminate the atmosphere?

j I would like to know how it can be considered that any meterological conditions can be considered favorable, to disperse radioactive gases into the atmosphere?

i No matter which way the wind blows, that radioactive gas is going to go somewhere ! I can not believe that any amount of radiation can be harmless, no matter how small.

It is very disappointing that people who are supposed to be regulating Nuclear Plants in my behalf, that are supposed to be safe and harmless, are I

proceeding to poisen the American citizen. If this is what we have to depend l

on for the future, I don't expect we will have much of a future. What would happen if some country (like Iran) decided to bomb a couple of these plants ?

]

It would have as much a devastating effect as a nuclear bomb.

I really think the time has come to consider our future (mine and your's).

i I don't deny the energy is needed for us to live as we are accustomed to.

But isn't there other cleaner, safer ways ? Water, Wind, and Solar Power are as inexhaustible as we could ask for. We have the ability and knowledge it's time we used it. Haven't we been civilized long enough to live that way?

In closing, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this, though I'm sure it has little or no effect. I am not a clamsheller, but just j

an ordinary person that thinks it is time to save the human race, before we

~

too become extinct, we're already an endangered species.

DOIT SE Thank you, j

I
