Dear Ivan Selin:

My name is Billi Siedow and I am writing to you as a concerned U.S.

citizen.

I recently read in a Global Response publication that the Louisiana Energy Services has j

submitted an application to the KRC for permission to build l

its plant near the communities of Forest Grove and Center f

Springs.

I am urging'you to advise the NRC licensing board l

to deny LFS' application to construct a uranium enrichment l

facility in Homer, Louisiana.

Currently the Department.of I

Energy's enrichment plants are on1y operating at 50% of l

capacity, so I see no need for a new facility such as the l

one proposed by LES.

In addition, the local communities of i

forest Grove and Center Springs are adamantly opposed to i

having the LES plant located in their backyard.

You may be interested to know that the Citizens Against l

Nu cl ea r Trash and a coalition of national and regional l

groups, have denounced the na ti on wi de pattern of siting

}

hazardous waste dumps and dangerous industrial operations in l

economically and poli ti cally disadvantaged communities.

LES* selection of t own pr edomi n a n t l y black communities of Forest Grove and Center Springs for the site of a n u cl ea r f a cili t y/wa s t e site is perceived as an example of i

environmental racism.

I urge you to take a close look at l

the issue of en vi ronmen tal racism and the role that it might have played in deciding to site the plant so near to the+HC l

m+ow-s m a l l black communities.

g Thank you for your time and attention to this problem and I am asking you to become a part of the solution by helping l

protect the people of Forest Grove and Center Springs l

through your influence in the NRC.
