Dear Commissioner Pallidino,

As the matter of a low-power licens'e'for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station will be before you shortly, I hope you will give careful consideration to the implications of your decision.

If a low-power license for the Shoreham Facility l

is granted under. present conditions, you will have set a dangerous precedent with reference to safety of.the public.

i As I am sure *you are well aware, the Shoreham Plant does not have emergency diesel g'anerators which have been approved l

by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Allowing LILCO to load fuel and begin operations for low-power testing is tantamount to sanctioning the

safety, construction and emergency facilities of the. plant.

I would ask that at a minimum you wquid defer. decision upon low-power testing until all safety criteria 'have been

, met by the utility.. -

Waiving the rules will do a great disservice to* the residents of Long Island.

In addition, questions concerning. the ' emergency evacuation plan have not yet been answered.

There is still censiderable question as to.whether such,a. plan will ever be adopted for the Shoreham Plant.

I

~

I feel strongly 'that all the outstanding issues should be resolved before LILCo is permitted low power licens'a.

1 I feel that it is absolutely absurd to allow the utility 8501080449 850104 C) gDRADOCK 05000322

Nunzio J.

Pallidino, Chairman September 11, 1984 to load the plant with nuclear fuel before a resolution of the remaining issues.

I ask you to act in the public interest and deny LILCO's request for a low-power license for the Shoreham Facility.

Sin ly,
