Dear F.r. Hickey:
It is vital to U.S.A. 's energy and economic future that an up-to-
)
date uranium enrichment facility be establisned in America. Currently, 50% of our crude oil, is imported. Presently, and increasingly so, ir the near future, we will be importir.g uranium from overseas, par-ticularly Russia. Without a competitive er.ricreent facility our country will be dependent for a second major energy source material.
f The, detailed, Draft Envirorment Impact Statement (DEIS) certainly makes it clear the Clairbome Dzicnment Center (CBC) will provide the base to minimize tnat potential energy dependency.
The DEIS shows CEC will be a safe enrichment process. Further the CEC will provide employment for a significant number of workers in a depressed area of tne country.
CEC wi1>. releasc the appreciable quantity of electricity now being used by tne antiquated gasesous diffusion process, thus providing a significant contribution tov.ard tne national energy conservation objective.
Finally. USA must sharply increase its generating capacity if it is to be competitive in tomorrow's world economy. Certainly, a pcrtion of thnt added must be nuclear, despite the anti-nuke's drive to kill that environment benign generating system.
Yours truly, y-[
