Dear Administrative Judges:

DISTRICT OFFICE

  • ROCKFORD As State Senator from the Rockford District, I wish to 823 NORTH u AiN sT.

thank you for the resolve that you have shown in ensuring ROCKFORD. IL 61103 the health and safety of the conmunity.

PHONE: 885/962-4445 Your decision to withhold the licensing of the Byron facility until all the safety issues were resolved showed great courage.

COuuiTTEES:

  • $*,",*"7^ '" " ^ "Jo Northern Illinois once enjoyed cheap and plentiful elec-g SECONDARY EDUCATION tricity} Dut, Decause of Costly Construction practices permitted in our area, electric costs have increased, 9 APPROPRI ATIONS ll 9 HIGHER EDUCATION I'm concerned that the rate structure of Illinois gives the

. TOC At GOVERNMENT utilities an incentive to rush plants on line before the energy needs have been assessed or safety concerns are met.

Even the Illinois Commerce Commission is beginning to take a more critical look at constant rate hike requests.

STATUS OF WOMEN My main concern is with the NRC staff's statements in this proceeding.

The NRC staff has indicated that, contrary to public statements, there were no problems at the facility.

It is my hope that an open discussion of any additional I

safety concerns can take place to resolve the concerns of the public as to the safety of the Byron plant.

S,incerely, 8408290309 840822 C
