Mr. Ivan Selin Chairmn, The Nuclear Regulatory Ccanission Washington, D.C. 20555 Dear Mr. Selin As you will see fran the first enclosure with this letter, there are still people on Long Island working for the opening of the Shoretum nuclear power plant. And if there my not be mny, who are writing letters, there are mny nore, who wvuld like to see it opened, since it would cer-tainly help solve mny of our current and future problems, not only con-cerning energy supply, but also in the areus of jobs, taxes, real estate values, and_so_on. I can assure you that in addition to business and labor organisations, many politicians also want Shorelam opened, in part because it would save them from having to face the wrath of the voters, when LIILO's tax payments for Shoreham have been phased out. Unfortunately, they are too intimidated to speak out. Caaplicating the situation in the fact that a NIM 3Y-obsessed public objects to just about anything being built here
- to replace the lost power fran Shoreham.
As you probably know, the Cuano administration turned to Hydro -
yuebec and its Janes Bay project to mke up for the shortfall in the down-state New York area that was caused by the Governor's energy policies, and has contracted ~for:1000 uNawatts of hydropower. This is, of course, only 200 megawatts nore than Shereham would have produced, right where it is needed and without any long transmission lines crossing the scenic upstate areas. Now, however, ;the IMive hericans of the Jann3 Bay area, the-Cree Indians and the Inuit, are quite understandably objecting to having their lands destroyed, and the coatract has now been placed on hold for a year. - Let us hope that the nounting opposition will force the cancel-lation of this disgraceful deal, but, as you can see, the New York Power Authority is very much in favor of it.
We are thus in a conplicated situation, which cries out for reso-lute leadership from Washington, which, I am convinced, could be supplied by the President, the Nuclear Regulatory Camiinion and the Department of Energy. The time has come to disregard the antinuclear novenent and allow reason and the local and national interest to prevail. It may conn as a surprise to you, but the opinion polls that supposedly showed strong opposition to Shoreham never asked the respondents, what alternative they would prefer, nuclear or coal generated electricity. Since the latter should have been the alternative, I believe that trost people would have preferred the nuclear option. So Iong Islanders are now, and will be, paying both for an unused nuclear plant, imported oil and future replace-nunt power sources. Since lessened dependence on foreign oil, improved environmentei quality and adequate electricity supplies for job creation and econanic expansion are stated goals of the Bush administration, it would be a shame to allow the Shoreham resource to go to waste.

I want to ask you to do everything in your-powr to block the further deccmnissioning of the plant and do not allow the license to be transferred to the~Long Island Power Authority, which-few people trust.
. Why not let Shoreham.becme a test case for the rebirth of the nuclear powr' industry in this country?.You would find more support than you j
probably now expect, and I know that there are many organisations and individuals, who would be willing to assist you, if they only know that j
their efforts are not wasted.
