Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, Chairperson Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 April 17,1997

Dear Dr. Jackson:

Please stop Louisiana Energy Services (LES) from constructing and operating a uranium enrichment facility between the low income and African American communities of Forest Grove and Center Springs, Louisiana.

j The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Licensing Boardjust recently ruled that:

(1) LES has not demonstrated any genuine need for the facility; (2) the consor'ium is not fmancially qualified to construct and operate the proposed plant; and (3) LES failed to set aside sufficient funds to dispose of the esthnated 100,000 tons of toxic radioactive waste.

We want environmentaljustice! Uphold and support the decisions or'tne NRC's Licensing Board and refuse to license tne LES uranium enrichment facility. Your help with this matter is critical to breaking America's shameful pattern oflocating polluting facilities in our low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.

Sincerely, l)ahr )Doyk 772 o Edccc Ivt buaLp10 20707 9706170269 970616 PDR ADOCK 07003070 C
