Apt. 1202 mi nne a poll o', Mn. 55403 7; , Octobor 30, 1969 Dr. Glenn Seabor0 Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission 1

Wachington, D.C.

Door Dr. Seaborg:

e As a newcomer of five yearc residence here now I writo to exprnso my doop concern regarding the commission'o wacto tolerance for the Monticello Power Plant IJorthern States Dower has practically completed.

Rospected scientists stato that wasto omission levels A.E.C. considers safo are in fact not safe or uro doubtfully safe. Hoports from the Vormont conference I have gleaned I find not reassuring.

Why can 2t you people considor reducing the tolerable wacto omiscion lovel to a point where croditnb]o scientiots will not be constantly finding objection and hence upsetting the uneducated public? I really wonder if you are not your own worst enemios. Atomic energy still belongs in'the public mind in the realm of the giving of the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinal, unquestionably cacred and cupor

, myctoriouc.

I I con and may well elect to buy bottled water f or drinkin0 if IJ.S.P.

is allowed to go by its proposed waste emiot,lon levels. I can't buy bathing or shouoring water, obviously, and most of the people of the Twin Cities can't huy drinking water.

fJood I repeat, I am very concerned about the so far uni:nowa offects of atomic westo matter cumulatively in the Mississippi filver oc well as the immediate danger of drinking the water.

Yours truly, .
