Sense of the Legislature urging the rejection of LILCO's request to operate the Snoceham Nuclear Power Pir.nt at twenty-five percent power WiiEREAS, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been considering a request from the Long Island f.ighting Company (LILCO) since April of 19P for permission to operate the Shorehar. Nuclear Power Plant at twenty-five percent pt vers and i
WilEREAS, The Suf folk County Legislature and the State of New 'ork, among others, have long been on record as opposing the operation of this plant at any level i
of power, based on the fact that it would be impossible to safely evacuate the public, l
or otherwise ensure the health and safety of the public, in the event of an accident at the plant; and WHEREAS, in support of LILCO's request, the staff of the NRC has issued a report stating that operation at twenty-five percent would not pose any additional safety threats: and WHEREAS. such a determination clearly neglects the fact that any type of nuclear f
accident at the plant would greatly jeopardize the health and safety of Suffolk County residents due to the uniqueness of Long Island's geography and the lack of an approved emergency evacuation plan formulated with the cooperation of State and County l
officials and l
WHEREAS, United States Energy Secreta. ' John Herrington has urged the NRC l
to "move expeditiously" on the licensing of the b oreham plant: and i
WHEREAS, such actions illustrate yet another attempt by federal governmental f
authorities to quickly force the Shoreham plant upon the people of Suffolk County regardless of the health and safety threats now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that Suffolk County opposes any attempt by the NRC to grant the Long Island Lighting Company a license for the operation of Shoreham at twenty-five percent powers and be it further, RESOLVED, that Suffolk County urges the NRC to reject the findings in its staff report that the operation of Shoreham at twenty-five percent power would not pose any new safety problems: and, be it further, RESOL \\ ED, that a copy of this resolution shall be sent to the NRC commissioners, the United States Senators from New York, and the Long Island Congressional delegation.
