Dear Sirs:
I am writing in regard to your proposed change in emergency planning regulations, in relation to the Shoreham New York Nuclear Power Plant. It is unusual for me to write to government agencies, but frankly, I am scared.
The Iong Island Lighting-Cmpany has done very little to reassure the residents of Suffolk County that they are capable of protecting us or'even preventing a nuclear accident. I am pregnant with my first child and wonder what type of future he/she has on Iong Island.
Have any members of the cmmission ever visited Long Island? Have you ever driven on the Long Is]and Expressway during rush hour or during inc1 ment weather?
The conditions a?.one can cause hours of backed up traffic. That alone is a safety risk, I ca.n only inngine what a disaster it would b3 if Suffolk County were fleeing,. nuclear power plant accident. There is only one way off Iong Island (since most of us cannot afford a boat!) - you can only go west! There's one j
exoressway (the world's largest parking lot) a xl two parkways going wast and tl.ey can't even handle cmmuter traffic, much less frantic citizens trying to escape.
LIICO has among the highest electric rates in the nation, has had 'c.:ge cost overruns at Shoreham, and has been accused of mismanagment. Now I'm supposed to trust ' hm with my family's lives in case of an emergency? I trv't Suffolk County, the State of New York and Governor Cucmo.
I hope that this camission will rule in favor of the citizens of this l
county and their lives as opposed to the utilities. Since when are profits more important than safety? The loss of just one life over Shoreham is a price too high to pay! I intend to also write to Iong Island's congressmen and representatives to encourage them to fight the NRC should you ease the emergency planning regulations!
Thank you for your t 'me. I pray that you do the most to protect us - LIICO can't!
Sincerely,
,t
