Dear Str:

I have been followine the Itcetsing proceedinzs for the ~4m. ?. McGuire Nuclear Station for some time tow, and I was pleased to learn the licensing hearinzs are being re gyened regarding the hydcogen contain-ment controversy. This is an extvilent step.

'he McGuire plant is unique in that public comment hai been considered a significant factor from its beginning stages,-and as a result, the general public in the vicinity have becomt.as aware as any populace in the country regardine the impact o f nuclear energy as a close neighbor.

However, there is one siior point I feel needs to be addressed tv the Atomic Safe sy and Licensing ?oard before these heartnzs;Rpeln.

i

- tuka- ? owe $h Company should be required to draft an Enviconmental

.Impait Statement for a Class Nine Accident.

An EIS

'.s essential in the case of McGuire, in view of the hydrocen containment issue, and'hore importantiv, as a tool for local zovernrental bodies to implement thorouch eracuation procedures.

I as aware that the vireil C. Sumner Nuclear Station in South Carolina was required to submit an EIS for a Class Mine actident, and officials in the vicinity were invited to comment on the document.

Surely the same considerations apply in the case of the McGuire Nuclear Station.

I trust you share the belief that require =ent of an EIS for a Class Nine accident would be in the best interestsof Duke Power and the citizens they serve.

I look forward to hearing from you on this matter.
