Senator:

Nuclear Regulatory Commiccion Davis-Ecccc Nucleer Power Washington, D.C. 20555 Docket No. 50-346-ML To whom that it mat concern:

This evening I was appalled vhen picking up the evening local paper and l

torr learnat least 15 groups, individuals etc., have petitioned the NRC in respect to permiting the Toledo Edison to bury low-level raido active cludge on the cite of Davic Eecce Power Stntion. Up to thic timd according t o the paper Helen Hoyt, an adm. law jrdge for t he NRC, otill'hacent l

made as decici6n if an informal hearing will be held. I am appealing to Senator Metzenbaum that a hearing be held and vehy a determination of a hearing io in the hands of one individual, if I understand correctly, I am of the opin;on that there should be ample and effective public participation before thic ner 6n-site dicpocal was held, like in 1970 whhn they started excavating before t hey held the hearing at the Armery l

in P.C. Dec 7-9, 1970, now they are allready moving the dirt before a l

hearing is allowed, further I as reaucating the Senator to curtail in f

t thh future the NRC giving permiccion to bury wacte without a hearing.

l Will this be a nrecedent that all ulents will be dump citec for raido activ ciudge? Tne he aring in 1970 the moving of opent fuel was quectioned and it was written that there wac a co mercini fuel reproceccing plent in i

upmer Hew York and one in Wachington ctate. To thic date not one oc has been moved bg also is being stored in water vate at the plant, will i

}

this eventualy end un here when the nlant is decomiccioned? The cost

{

fector like now was m'entioned why spent fuel wacent moved, I am of the

{

L opinion that the crent fuel could of been cent to a reproceccing dump or storece cite t he firct fe w yearc, but now no one vtants waste or cpent fuel in their area.

The geologicc1 base in thic area ic limdctone bedrock, and et timec neems can be found which will allow cipage of water and another linuids to flow, there ic alco clay and core gypcum, pluc flooding is still a problem.

It is incumbent unen uc to have accurened that we wi31 have accurance ^

t-a

.;;# that we have or fe, clean and reliable nuclear power and to r.ake cure that any facilitica in cur area have that or we cheuld emnhatically opnoce ear Egl it. V!c do not argue the need for more power, but att the ccme time we want a cafe operation looking out for the health, cafety, water, air end

{

well being of human, animal and plant welfare.

O*

I feel my viewcz are conctructive, end not dectructive. '7e muct begin with the freedom of cpeech whichk ic the beric right from which freedor flows, g4 It is a right without whic h all otherc are without morning. Uithout it we ha ve one of the cuickest wayc of cruching anindividual'c liberty. "Then we e

deny people the right to cppak freely and to opeak their mind. Ferr of thic wtLO in our great country hac cilenced too many neople.

I was going to France, Netherlando and Belgium gext month to vicitpd the cemeteries in Normandy who re thoucondcAM60gried, Belgium the "Pattle 9 of the Eulge" and The Netherlandn, to visit the M e, of m.

bud ' es cp but canceled out becouce of the terrioct.
