Dear Sir:

I wish to voice =y cencern over the nuclear pcwer plant Ver=ont Yankee. Af ter repeated and lengthy shutdowns, all sorts of questiens about safety, and = ore than questiens, evidence of cracked pipes, " stress cerrosion." cracked cooling syste=, and of welding jobs which are detericrating, can you blame the nblic for not believing in its safety? I have heard that during an inspecticn ordered by the Nuclea.: Regulatory Cc==ission last su==er 39% of the bolts in ver=ent Yankee's piping suppert syste= were found to be defective and fraudulently installed.

I have also read that workers at the plant have been exposed to very high radiation, up to 900 =illire=s per heur. I could go on and en. Please, join =e in =y concern and de=and a full and public investigaticn into the safety and =an' age =ent of Verment Yankee. This investigatien must be independent, sufficienuly funded, and accc=ranied by public hearings with the NRC and independent experts participating.

Let =e add one core thing. Please, try to realize that this is not just sc=e crazy leftist notion. It is a terrible thing that concern ever nuclear cower has becc=e cennected with the left, pro-nuclear withthe right. Grave dangers are present for us all. -

conservative or liberal, recublican er de=ccrat. I a= not sore crazy radical, but an educated intelligent being with =any conservative views. I want to settle in the Upper Connecticut Valley in Ver=ent and live safely. I don't want a =enster hang

  • ing over =e. Please listen to the warnings and take a cautious viewpoint towards danger. There is too =uch at stake.
