plastts.
Dent sir, 14 has CCtre to m:j attelttiert blat $ tere are. se.Veral nucleLt power stations whicit are readr] to generate electLicitt), but titey have not received bte necessaty Licenses to st.1rt generating pc.cer and as such these. plastis capacitij sits idle.
The plants 1 am referting to are both writs at Diablo Canijon Callfornia and the widamaged unit at Three Mile Island. ElecLticity prices are itiah enough without keeping available plants from operating at capacitJ. Uiten is 6.c N.R.C. going to again start issuing Licenses? Could tjou also provide infornation as to the cost associated witit keephtg the.se plastis idle? Please htclude any recestt progress reports on reactor Licensing. If yea don't plan to issue any new Licenses in this yest I would app.teciate knowing how uca justify your budget.
From witat I have seen there is aircady a costse>tsue of tecitnical revieA aaencies btat agree these plants can be operated. safety as plants of sionitar design have been licertsed to operate. I can see no reason titat ra.tepa ers should pay for Itigh j
cost replacemestt pceer, wheat a low cost, safe alternative exists.
Repitj to the questions raised at the end af the first patagraph requested.
