Dear Sirs:
Befcre you now is the question of low power testing of the Seabrook Facility.
Please decide the issue carefully since its consequences will be with us for a long time.
My own sense is that we need the electric power quite badly in New England. Ir ignoring that need, Massachusetts Governor Dukakis has been shown to be repeatedly wrong in his assertions about our alternatives to Seabrook. He incorrectly asserted last summer that we have enough power, and when some significant voltage reductions were needed, his administration responded by conducting a legal witchhunt and suing the utilities for conspiracy. Seabrook would have made those voltage reductions unnecessary.
The Massachusetts administration also claims that Canadian power is readily available, but I noticed recently that Hydro Quebec has made electricity exports subject to scrutiny and control. So the Dukakis people are wrong on that too.
Besides, don't we have a responsibility to provide for our own electrical power? It is quite basic to our economy.
Finally, I think the safety record of the U.S. Nuclear power industry is reassuring, and is not some kind of serendipitous coincidence. You people l
make the industry keep up-to-date and also enforce procedures so that this safety record continues.
Let's get Seabrook going prudently and quickly. I feel the evidence supports allowing Seabrook to start low level tests and then begin full operations. Our future will benefit by that decision.
