o . 14 April 1982 To the US NRDC Atomic Safety and LicensinE Ecard: I have devoted most of my professional life to the development of the peaceful uses of nuclear enerEy. I have no worries whatsoever about the safe ty of the Shoreha= plant. I consider it stfer than thc usual factory, safer by far than my autocobile. I know that its des 1En and construction is the culmination of hundreds of thousands of man-years of effort by the best scientists and the best enEineers in the world, people who were aware of more possible continEencies than anyone in this room can-imaEine, and who designed to prevent them. I am sure thct this plant will work vell, and l that you as a Board will soon agree that it will. I beseech you to make your investiEations as rapidly as your thorouEhness permits. I hope that you will avoid a number of irrelevent issues that my fellow speakers toniEht are ur6 1ng you to explore, that you will satisfy yourselves about the main point; whether the plant is properly des 1Ened and constructed. The electric power users of L ng Island have for years been paying for millions of barrels of oil at fancy OPEC prices, oil  ; that that would not have had to be burnt if the Shoreham Plant had only been completed in a reasonable time. They have paid in toto ' an unnecessary billion dollars for their electricity over the past six years --- a billion dollars that would not have bben spent if the licensinE and reEulatory boards that preceded you had acted with dispatch and cut throuEh the foe raised cy a number of well-meaning but ill-informed critics of this Plant and of the nation's nuclear enerEy proEram. I was co-author, with my colleaEue Sol Pearlstein of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, of an article in the Lone Island Section of the New York Times for Sunday, 27 December 1981, entitled "A Tale of Two Power Plants". I submit a copy of this article to you. This article compares the cost of electric power in Connecticut for the past several years with its cost on Lone Island. . The utility companies in both areas saw the need for nuclear plants, and initiated their two plants within a few months of each other, in the winter of 1968-69. The Millstone II Plant was set on the north side of Lone Island Sound; it was approved for construction within a year; and it was built and operatinE before the end of 1975. Since that time, Connecticut rate-payers saved a billion dollars that would (;> 5 ()] otherwise have been spent on oil-rired seneration. 5 The Shorehem Plant, in contrast, required four whole years of

   / g     hearinEs before construction approval was Eranted. That four-year hind start has turned into a seven-year las in start-up time ---

the result of changes in design required by the reEulatory commissions as the state of the art advanced. The costs of the plant have skyrocketed, of course. Yet in the long run it will save Long Island consumers not to be burning the seven millicn barrels of oil per year that Shoreham is capable of replacing. Please hurry. We need Shorehn, and we need it soon! JohnR.Stehn/(J) Q m( Qpe ur } S uc i vs / h 4 L4

Box 381 Jamesport, New York April 13, 1982 Lawrence Brenner, Esq. Administrative Law Judge Atomic Safety & Licensing U.S N.R.C. Washington, DC 20555

Dear Sir:

Environmentalism and pacifism often occupy the same heart; a heart which frequently harbors distaste of abundant energy , sources as well. They share other traits. Both have universal appeal: nobody wants a polluted environment, and nobody wants war. Both have leaders who have succeeded in duping their numerous followers: they preach love of nature when they mean di-industri-alization; and they preach peace when they mean surrender. There are other similarities, but one stands out painfully above all others: They are winning the hearts of tne young. They are winning them for two perverse reasons. The first is that their followers believe themselves morally superior; that they want pristine nature and lasting peace, where-as industry prefers green cash. Their belief is moral superiority makes them virtually immune to facts. l The second reason is even more perverse: business and industry half believes in its moral inferiority, too. Browbeaten into ab-surd guilt complexes because they are shamefully ignorant of the ideological and moral strength of capitalism, their public relations departments put out smooth drivel about " balancing" environment against economy, and risks against benefits. They lack the courage, the knowledge, and often the sheer common sense to tell the misled public that the environment never had a better friend than property rights and free enterprise; or to tell them that if you want peace, i prepare for war. l ! Balancing environment against energy is Carterite gibberish. To ! maintain a healthy and beautiful environment, you need more energy, j not less (consult history and the Third World for counter-examples). l How do you balance two benefits on the same side of the scales? l t , si i t

April 13, 1982 Page Two Lawrence Brenner, Esq. Balancing risks against benefits is more gibberish. How many dollars to a human life? Suffolk County Legislators Blass and Prospect have no stauncher ally than the business executive who says "Your morals are ad-mirable, but we gotta make a living." Yet it is in the field of morality, the very field where in-dustry is losing, that the deindustrializers and defeatists are most vulnerable; not because their moral principles are wrong, but because their stand is diametrically opposed to the very values they cherish. You want to put human lives over dollars? Then support nuclear power, for its cost in human suffering is smaller than that of any other source of electricity yet invented. You want to be incorruptible in matters of health? Then expose the cover-up of the radon issue, and unmask Ralph Nader's health groups pro-moting a policy of higher radioactivity for infants on the creast than for uranium miners on the iob. You want social justice? Then fight the National Resources Defense Council's policy of stifling growth to protect a power-hungry elite from the upward mobility of the little man. You want to stop those who would befoul the environment? Then stop the Sierra Club, which pollutes.the air by lobbying for amendments to the Clean Air Acts that will clearly increase air pollution as long as they fulfill the more "important" purpose of bankrupting the utilities. - You want gentleness, not brutality? Then stand up to the most brutal tyranny that ever threatened your country. You want decency? Then remember those who died to protect you from past tyrannies and secured gentleness over brutality for you. Sack the flaks who know how to peddle laxatives, but who are ig-norant of the ideology of freedom; who know that capitalism pro-duces more goods more efficiently, but not why it is morally-superior. Those who would fight the system of free producers by appealing to love of nature and by painting the horrors of war are begging to be defeated on their own moral grounds: However well motivated, the environmentalists damage the environment; however well moti-vated, the pacifists promote war.

Dear Sirs:

,                    May I take a moment to express W concern on this very heated issue. But be-                               ,

fore I do, may I explain who I cm. First and foremost, I'm a married man and a father of three ynung boys. I'm a property ovner in the town of Riverhead and have lived the whole of cy life within the ten mile radius of Shoreham. A great majority of my relatives and friends live within the ten mile radius. As a boy I svam and fished in the

                    ' Jading River. Today, from my =other's home, I can see the top of the Reactor Building. I express this to show I have love and concern for the area.                 I'm also a committeeman for the Conservative Party and a minister in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The Mormons) in the town of Riverhead.

I express this to show my integrity and my sincere concern for people, both civicly and religiously. Ry opinion on Nuc* ear power is my own opinion and doesn't represent the opinion of my Party or Church. Though I'm a minister, I take no money for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Like other men, I work to eam a living, i For the last eight years I've been employed by StoLa 's 'Jebster Engineering Corp. at the Shoreham site. I've been involved with material inspection and construc- , tion supervision. I've done the best job I can to see that Shoreham has been built safe. I'm also a member of S. A.F.E. , a pre-energy group and my opinion , represents theirs. I believe Nuclear Power is the most efficient, clean and v safe way to product electricity to date. I love this area and the people of - this community. I want the best for then and hope, by =y speaking out tonight, many will reali::e that this plant has been built with their safety in mind. Thank you. Yours truly, O 5s d ,- / . e - Robert C. Luerssen

Dear Sirs:

The N.R.C. is about to start the hearings on the Shoreham Nuclear power Station in New York, and I urgc the comtaission to do all that is safe and prudent to expedite the hearing process. Many of the cost problems associated with Shoreham can be traced to the intervention of the Lloyd Harbor Study Group and the ensuing three year delay in obtaining a Construction License from the Public Service Commission of New York. I hope that the Federal Licensing procedure will not degenerate on granting the Construction License. Shorehan will be an important addition to the base loading of the Long Island Lighting Co. in the years ahead, and should help to stabilize.the rates of the customers of LILCO once Shoreham goes on 1-ine. I would also like to point out that though oil prices have temporarily stabilized. it is only a matter of time until this diminishing resource becomes scarce and expensive. Long Island is currently 100% dependent on foreign oil for the generation of electricity. Shoreham will go a long way towards giving Long Island energy independence und rata stabilization. I, therefore, urge the N.R.C. to grant the Long Island Lighting Co. a license to operate the Shoreham Nuclear Pow Station. g ynge your , [ lam 1-t enneider4W / 5)Sg)][ 9 Millard Drive i Center Moriches, NY 11934 W3/to / O
