pro-nuclear power but I cirply cannot believe that thoce folJ.c running Srowns Perry have acrewed up again.

The fact that an airlock in an operatin<j nuclear power plant val left open for an catended period of time indicateo a TOTAL BRCliDOUM IM I:hMAQ JCUT.

An Ocaigned the airlock 10 the accondary containment for a teactor incident.

Three Hile Iuland would have been an even Ucrce financial dinacter had an airloch been open to the atuouphere. I never thought I'd be helping to pay for the DLL debacle.

I a:a and that giveu me the right to arcah out about irceuponnible or incompetent operatorc of nuclear facilitica.

Since TVA ntarted their nuclear prograri it'a been one fiatco after another.

The high. ter mark for Drouau Perry vac tne 1975 fire.

You vill reocuber that they act the reactor bldg on fire unile using caadles to check for air leahn in a cable apreading room, did not have enough cir on hand for their Scott Air Packs to fight the fire, a plant guard refuced entry to the local fire departraent Ei. net then it's been one thing right after another.

I've it cnething hac got to be lone about thoae people bcfe e 1"103 at un real money!

I don't knou them.

I don't have an a :, to g r u.3.

They are clearly incoupotent and cannot be tructed to get their act together. Aa you knou Crand Calf in a ainilar dec.ign but uithout the Achillen Heel or a thin-wall carbon steel auivreunion chamber.

Would you glcace iaquire of the "RC and help ne cecure the pertinent docuuents to purcue the aatter?

lery t cul" yourc, v
