Dear Mr. Glenn:
I am writing to you concerning thc Shoreharn nuclear power plant tocated on Long Ieland, New York.
Thic le eo remote from Cincinnati that normally I would have no concern for the foolichnece that is about to take place.
However, thic power plant, which has been fully approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Agency le about to be torn down because the State of New York could never agree with the power company, who owned the facility, on an evacuation plan for local residente in the event of a cataetrophic failure at the plant.
In fact the State would not even participate in developing euch a plan.
This destruction of a brand new plant capable of producing electricity without producing ob.jectionable emiceione such as eulfur, nitror n and carbon oxides le a disgrace.
We are throwing away our resources.
While this is the privilege of those who live in New York I don't know why I must bear part of the burden.
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency le eupported by my tax dollare.
They were engaged for years in monitoring the design and construction of this plant Now that New York does not want the plant will the State reimburse the federal government for the waate of my tax dollars?
What can you do about tl le dectruction of capital?
Is there a way of moth balling the plant until the need for nuclear power becomes rea?1tv and le accepted at the turn of the century After all that 16 only nine years away.
Do comething!!
Very truly youre, M
A
