Dear 31r:
You have certainly heard all the arguments concerning the proposed restart of Unit #1 at TXI'by now.
?!et-gd's glaring ineptitude has, I assume, not escaped your notice.
Therefore, I nust conclude that the tiRs continued support of seen a restart represents either callous disregard for the lives of the citizens of Central Pennsylvania or total naivete.
Do you really believe that evacuation plans constitute adequate assurance that we could survive another nuclear accident?
If so, please answer the folicwing questions for me and my family:
1.
'inen does construction begin to erect the radiation-proof barrier along the circumference of the 20-mile limit which has been imposed?
After all, we wouldn't want any of the citi: ens living at the 20.1, 22, 30, etc. mile mark to complain because they hadn't been evacuated, too.
2.
Have you ever been in downtown Harrisburg at rush hour?
If you have, you know there is absolutely no way an evacuati:n could be conducted on an orderly basis.
3 Have you ever seen thousands of people beco.ne totally im obilized by a few inches of snew?
If 7 cur're depending on the PA. Dept. of Transportation to keep all our er.it routes open; you are woefully ill-inforned!
Or, are nuclear accidents mandated to occur only during favorable weather conditions?
h.
Do you really think that in a true emergency situation in which residents of the T'{I area would be forced to leave T>503 quickly, that everyone could be infor.ed in time?
What 3
about the aged, the physically handicapped, etc.?
- inere would the loyalty of emergency workers lie? - with the 0
general citizenry or with their own fa.:ilies?
/
Your support of the restart is based, I assume, on the naive beller that such an accident won't occur -- perhaps you are willing to take such a chance -- we citizens of mI are living testimony that the possibility is all too real!
