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.
