Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, Chairperson Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 l

April 17,1997 l

Dear Dr. Jackson:

I Please stop Louisiana Energy Services (LES) frorn constructing and operating a uranium enrichment facility between the low income and Afdcan American commmtities of l

Forest Grove and Center Springs, Louisiana.

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

l (1) LES has not demonstrated any genuine need for the facility; (2) the consortium is not financially qualified to construct and operate the proposed plant; and (3) LES failed to set aside sufficient funds to dispose of the estimated 100,000 tons of toxic l

radioactive waste.

1 l

We want 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 j

to breaking America's shameful panern oflocating polluting facilities in our low-income l.

neighborhoods and communities of color.

Sincerely, JY Q.3IA1UW
