Dear Sir:

This letter makes reference to the pre-hearing conference on the safe operation of Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant's Unit I, scheduled for July 30, at Two Rivers, Vlisconsin.

Vlith this letter, we want to urge you to give the greatest considera-tion _possible to holding a full probe of Unit I's operation. The high number of times of shut-down and start-up is certainly alarming,and at the very least, assurances should be given to this community. Vre know from personal experience that even the workers consider the operation as having considerable troubles. -- -

One further reason: Yle have lived in this community for nere than fifty years, and we intimately know the political scene ard the work-ings of governmeital units. It is disouieting to us to see troubles such as these played down in the daily (anc only) press. Vie see far mora detailed discussion and investigative reporting in newspapers of neighboring counties. Never have we seen articles of equal concern in .

our local newspaper. Yle recognize that the viish for cheap pov'er is a very strong influence, but e r question is at what price, and---with the present shifts in operations and repairs---is it cheap power after all?

Vie urge you to give consideration to a full probe. Thank you.

\

Sincerely yours, C46e-, .

Charles A. Spring Vlinifred Spring .
