Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, Chaigerson

[.

. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 April 17,1997

Dear Dr. Jackson:

Please stop Louisiana Energy Services (LES) from ccnstructing and operating a uranium enrichment facility between the low income and African American communities of J

Forest Grove and Center Springs, Louisiana.

i l

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Licensing Board just recently ruled that:

i

~l (1) LES has not demonstrated any genuine need for the facility;

)

(2) the consortium is not financially qualified to construct am t operate the proposed plant; and (3) LES failed to set aside sufficient funds to dispose of the e nimated 100,000 tons of toxic _

radioactive waste.

We wart environmentaljustice! Uphold and support the decisions of the NRC's Licensing Board and refuse to license the LES uranium enrichment facility. Your help with this matter is critical to breaking Amer ca's shameful pattem oflocating polluting facilities in our low-income i

neighborhoods and communities of color.

Sincerely, w

W.] dch (Morm Miachf'id
