Dear Mr. Hickey:
The Draft Environmental Impact Sta t e me nt for the Caliborne Enrichment Center (CEC) appears to be com-pelling in its reassurance that CEC "does not pose a significant threat to public health and safety."
Furthermore, the economic advantages to the area would seem to be more than a litt'.e welcome.
Having ab ut two decades of experience with the nuclear industry in one way or another, I am confident that l
the risks of the technology are quite low in relation
[
to the other reasonable risks af modern everyday life and mere than low enough to be vastly outweighed by the tenefite.
l The neighboring communities may f ind their economic diver:ity, c lack of it, to be of more long-term interest than a centrifuge enrichment plant.
Still, one wonders about the relative economics of gaseous diffusion under the present circumstances.
I l
have
- r. o t seen review of that in some time and can offer no opinion.
I Sincerely, Wh' Eruce M.
