Dearfir.Selin:
11 has come to sy attention that the Louisiana (nergy Service (ifs) tas subsitted an application for persission to build their plant near forest Grove and Center Springe. I urge you strongly to deny ((S' application to construct a urania enrichsent facility in Ibser, Louisiana for thefollowingreaons:
io sy knowledge, this facility muld mnvert uranius into tF735, for nuclear power reactors.
During this process. 4.000 tons of radioactive IF733 waste, which resains lazardra for aillions of years, muld be poduced every year. Another byprodxt of this process muld be uranius hexaflouride (if61, which muld six with the air to create toxic hytirogen fluoride. kny elderly residents are e2tresely worried becauce they are without trancportation, and are unsure hon rapidly they could flee the area in the event of an accidental lif6 discharge. The plant would also discharge their polluted water into the late Claiborne watershed, in spite of the fact that @ loses within 5 miles of tie facility rely on mells for their drirding mater.
1, along with the Citizens Against Ifelear Trash, Southern Christian leadership Conference, and many other national and regional groups are adasantly opposed to having tie LfS plant located in forest Grove and Center Springs. A report dane by ite linited Church of Christ indicated tiet an overahelsingly disproportionate nduer of hazardus waste dusps, incinerators, lerardus chemical and industrial operations are located in ecanically and politically disadvantaged sinarity cmaanities.
I find that environner,tal racise lad a large role in deciding to site ite plan ( so near the to small black consonities, and I encourage you to tale a cloce lotA at this very igoriant icaue.
Ihard you very such for your time, and I await your regonne.
