Decommissioning dr. Ja:es Aheaz n, Cc=issionez Alliance I;uclear Regulate:y Co=ission 127) lain Street Washington, D.C. 20555 Brattlebore \\brmont05301 S02-254-9983 Box 1117 5StateStwet sea 2 h1. aheazn: >Iontpelier \\bimont05CW2 802-2234' m In light of the :ecent developments at the Vez ent Yankee ;iuclea2 Flant in Vernon, Ve::ent, as well as a long histo:y of accidents and continued failuz e to teet saf ety standards, a full and public investigation is i=pelative before allowing the plant to go back on line. Repzesentatives of the Vez ent Yankee Deco :issioning Alliance (VYDA) have addressed our conce:ns and identified the specific a eas requiring investigation at the plant in co unications with Richard Snelling, Governor of Ve: ent, and John ',riffin, Flesident of Vez=ont Yankee 2;ucleal Plant. We believe that the situation at the plant constitutes an i=ediate and sezious th eat to the safety of the people of Ver:ont and suizounding ar eas. I would like to take this opportunity to spell out our conceIns and ou: busines with the.;uclea: Regulator y Co=ission. Our ;cncerns ar e many:
- 1) the water clean-up syste and teacto:
disenarge pipe, 2) the accelelated and unexpected decay of the tuz bine gene:ator.- 3) the r epeatedf ailu:e to :epair the E2 y Well Torus, 4) the absence of a proper ineiting syste=, and,
- 5) prolonged ope:ation under an out-dated safety waiver.
Our business is to request tnat the Ver ont Yankee liuclear Plant remain closed until such time as a full investigation has
- Ioven that it no longer poses a threat of 1 =inent danger to the public.
It is ou2 hope and expectation that the 1uclear Regulatory Cc=1ssion will exelcise its authority in this :atter to ~
- equile that the plant z e:ain closed and initiate a full investigation of the erucial situation at Ver:ont Yankee.
