9 FEB 5 1981 Ms. Carol Morrill Brock Box 85 So. Royalton, VT 05068
Dear Ms. Brock:
This letter is in response to your recent letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission regarding Vermont Yankee.
The concerns expressed in your letter were recently considered in a decision issued on December 24, 1980 pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the Commission's regulations.
10 CFR 2.206 provides an opportunity for persons to request the Commission to take action.
A copy of the decision (DD 80-36, December 24, 1980) is enclosed for your information.
As provided in 10 CFR 2.206, this decision is before the Commission to determine whether further review is appropriate.
With respect to your concern about the lack of public information and accurate information, I can assure you that the NRC has made and will continue to make every effort to accurately and fully inform the public about issues concerning Vermont Yankee operations for which the NRC has involvement.
Documents that concern Vermont Yankee operations that are originated by the NRC, or submitted to the NRC for consideration, are made available at the local public document room located at the Brooks Memorial Library, 224 Main Street, Brattleboro, Vermont 05301.
I share your concern for nuclear safety, and will continue to enforce the Commission's safety regulations.
Sincerely, 2

A letter and a flyer frc= the Verment Yankee Deco==issieni.g Alliance has recently come to my attention.
I am writing you at thi.s time to express cy deepest concern.
As 'with any literature that takes either an unpopular, negative or alarmist stand, there is a tendency to discount it in some fa:hion,but reading it ever again, I could cece to
~
nc ether. conclusion thCd if even a part of the flyeE were rcion :-
accurate,4,1t 'is' of '.d eep. concern.
Therefore I foin with the Vermont Yankee Decommissioning f
' lliance in requesting /de=anding a full investigation, cpen A
to the public into the safety and =anagement of Verment Yankee Nuclear Power Plant.
If-N.Y.N.P.?. has nothing to hide, it should welcome public heVrings with the NRC and independen; enper;
.Certainly after Three M!.Te Island, nobody can say that nuclear
,wwer. is predictable, a__s_ safe as was thouc.h't before or anywhere
.s a-y tte:- 'ree..

The.proble=s of the plant are a real concern to me, but a.0;..
~
c ncern is the polcrization of people around the issue.
The lack cf public information, accurate infor:ation, the use of propaganda has caused a strange tension in people in Ver:ent and New Ha=pshire. Somehow what has developed is a mind-set that if cne is against or even questiens nuclear power it is an unpatri::i act.
This is fueled by our polititio,ns, conmunity leaders and others.
How pathetic it is that we are dividing into cacps eve-s:se. thing that if it =alfu-.ctions. seriously. will be equally a hazard.to the on'es for it and peinting fingers A$1 those'agains;.
I call upon you to' consider this request seriously..

Heweve, 'if the facts are truely alarcing, if the plant is unsafe, let us find that out and have the ccura s m
to close it g
