To the Commissioners:

As a concerned citizen of Kansas I am sendin5 this letter to state my oppcaition to the licensing of the Wolfereek Nuclear Power Plant in Burlington, Kansas.

As yet there is not a satisfactory. evacuation plan if there were an accident at Wolfereek.

I live..in Shawnee County

~

which is approxicately 80 miles from the Wolfereek plant.

I also have family living in Anderson and Douglas Counties.

These counties would be in danger if there were an accident at Wolfereek.

My family and I have a legal right to know what action we should pursue if such an accident occurred.

A sound evacuation plan is imperative!

What of the storage of waste created by a nuclear power To this day (and it appears for some time to come) there plant?

is no safe procedure for transporting and storing spent fuel rode W permanent storage of waste created by the fission process is environmentally deterimental.

The salt mines at Lyons, Ks. would not be a satisfactory sight for storage.

As I stated earlier there is no sage place to store high level nuclear waste.

Least of all under the bread basket of the nation.

The waste produced at Wolfereek wealld also contaminate the Neosho River.

The people in Coffef County depend on this river for drinking water.

The Wolfereek Nuclear Power Plant was planned when demand for; electricity was expected to double every ten years.

Si,nce 1974, electrical demand has grown at a rate of 2-3%.

Because of conservation by the people of Kansas, and the growin5 con-struction costs of Wolfereek, electrical customer rates have risen and will continue to rise as long as Wolfereek is in construction and operation.

Kansasans do not need the electricity
