.MCH Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.
Re: Licensing of second reactor at the Hutchinson Island Plant of FPL at Fort Pierce, Florida.
Dear Sirs:
This morning's MIAMI HERALD carries a long story stating that the St. Lucie County Connission does not intend to do
.anything about the rapidly expanding population on the barrier
- island, which is the location for the nuclear plant.
It is hard to understand such public irresponsibility in the face of the enormous potential dangers to which the Commissioners are exposing a new and unsuspecting population.
I understand that the second generator is up for licensing before your commission, and I suggest that you use all the powers that you have to force rational control of land use within ten miles of the power plant.
I realize that you cannot buy Iand and hold it for park purposes, and you cannot rezone the land for minimal use, but you CAN refuse to license the new generator until some such-reasonable steps are taken.
The potential for future disaster is so great that scme creative and desperate steps on your part are needed and justified.
Your careful attention to this problem will be appreciated, Sin e ely, o
Hgold Putnam
