This letter cencernes the rhine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant and it @ @

proxi=ity to the Robin Hood geological fault runnin th ough F.ct:nswea; 3ay. It is very disturbing to learn that this suspected fault, shown en 10'75 Geclogical Survey ::aps, and lying less than a mile f.~= Maine Yankee, has not been taken into censideration, er even investigat,ed by the EC in licensing procedures.

I.spect="y in' licht of our recent earthcuakes in 14ine centered near the ..'iseasse; area, it is incerative to understand ar =uch as ccesible abcut the area geclogic*Ur and the potential fer da= ace to n ' - s: es, and tnus to all livira in Esine.

~Je feel that l'a.ine Yankee shculd be closed deta. while test, berings are taken and a ec=;rehensive study conducted, as this i=fer:atice. is e ucial to the operation of a nuclear power plant.

This :stter cencerns us deeply. Please reply te us regar ' g that s.ctions i.C he ta'cen.
