Dear Mr. He nd rie,
150 PUBL1C DOCUMENT ROOM On Octo be r 1'4, 1978, I submitted the following three paragraphs as testimony at th e Nuclear Regulato ry Commission Atomic Safety Licensing Board hearings in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
As a native of Tulsa.and a present resident of Norman, I must object to the proposed Black Fox Nuclear Reactor Sta-tion at Inola.
I believe that too many critical questions concerning the Black Fox Station and the nuclear industry as a whole have been left unanswered.
The Black Fox question is not moral, philoso'phical, or religious.
It concerns real and immediately tangible issues.
That is, it concerns my health and safety, the health and safety of my children, my friends, and my family.
On Octo'oer 7,19'8, I joined in the occupation of the Black Fox site.
I did this because I can not to le rate the though t of having a nuclear reactor in my state which carries with it the possibility of a nuclear meltdown, the imminent dilemma of nuclear waste disposal, and the further possibil-ity of causing cancer and other disease.
Please consider my plea favorably.
The c ons truc ti on of Black Fox could have disastrous consequences for you, me, our children, and our friends.
YTCP BLACK FOX.
I would like to add that 28 people tectified against the proposed constructi on of Bla ck Fox on the day that I submi:-
ted my testimony.
Many othe re tes ti fied in previous NRC yrtj'ytw & W f
hearings held the week before.
Furtn er, many people who wanted to testify were not heard due to time limitations.
The people who testified varied in age and socioeconomic status.
Stopping Black Fox is not just a young middle class issue.
The construction of that reactor could effect how all Okla-homans live.
It could ' bring with it a hideous legacy of cancer, accidents, and death to th ousands of Oklahomans.
I, like many citizens of this state, will not rest un-til nuclear power is stopped in Oklahoma.
Please use your power to stop this menace and promote safer forms of energy production, e.g.,
solar power, whd power, biomass conversion.
All of our lives depend on it.
Sincerely, y.?
