Dear Ms. Hoyt:
We are. extremely concerned about the inadequacy of the proposed evacuation plans for the area surrounding the Limerick nuclear plant.
Serious questions remain about the availability of personnel, protection of the handicapped, and whether there would
- be-sufficient time for safe evacuation, especially if road condi-tions are not optimal.
We hope that you have recognized these facts as you consider this-case..
Thank you-for your attention.
Sincerely, 6/.

Dear Madane:
9e Lim *ick Nuclece 5 acto-s.
God he s giv en us the atom fb e a se-vent.
It is doing well, whe*e people do not get involved.
Lim-ick sta-ted out with a p opos ed cost of 850 nillion. It was originally to have commenced servic e in 1979.
It -ruld -educe the cost of h*ating ene gy fc power production from 11.00 for oil huat, from 9.00 fc-coal heat, to.43 fc-the sam amcunt cf heat. Also the. nucle a-can out-produc e othe r forms o* energy tremendously. The biggest coal p1mt p-educ es around a quarter of. a million kw pe-dy, while the nuclear p-oduces eve-a million.
Also it is by f ar the cle anest and saf est s)urce of ene gy.
The nuclea-has it all over the conventional typas cf energy, and is used e.ll over the world, except in the U. S. v;he re activists, motivated by ou*
enemies, are doing their best to destroy our nuclear facilities, and to cause them to be delayed so they can up the price to the point where the Government must take over. Thay want a socis12.stis ope-ation cf these plant s.
In Ame'ica we hsve found th at privately ovned ind2 st y has be-n the best ansrer. SEPTA is a good cu* rent illustration.
! hen owned p*ivately it ras efficient end tax-paying. Tow..it is not effic iert, end co sts the tax-paye-s 80 million dalle*s pe r year. This ye ar it cost us about %
million dolla*s.
The best ry for us who pay fo-ele ot-icity to reap benefits f-on Lim *ick, is f o-the Commission to tu n a deaf ase to all the e-iticis-s, and pseudo-experts, snd let tM Philadelphia tiectric have a mandate to comple ta its plant e.nd finish its vo-k at the earliest possible merent.
Had it been unopposed in 1979, it vould have cost only 850 millicn, and p*ic es would have been f a-less fo-cur elect-ic bills.

Dear Helen Hoyt:
Re: "Adequatc" emergency evaduation plans for the Limerick Nuclear plant.
A serious accident at Limerick, such as a core meltdown
- could kill nearly 6 million people within a 50-mile radius and make an area the size of Pennsylvania unhabitablefor many years.
Smaller scale accidents could endanger future generations in the region since radioactive particles affect the genetic material from which life is created.
There are' grave doubts as to the adequacy 66 Philadelphiall.ectric's evacuation plans now under consideration by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Can~ PECO guarantee there will never be an accideryt?
The project'ed life of the Limerick plant is only 25-35 years-at best.
Decommissioning the site prepresents a complex, hazardous and costly program.
More likely, the way to dismantle
-the reactors, according to a U.S. energy agency report, is to
" place the shutdown reactor in protective storage for about 100 years"---that is to, entomb it.
It is doubtful if after this
-period the site could ever be reclaimed.
My complaint Limerick nuclear-plant will'be a dangerous costly white elephant for.the next generation.
Can the commission deny this?
Peace, j k h Q d Q
