REFERENCE:
Millstone Nuclear Power Station Docket Nos. 50-245/336/423
Dear Ms. Solow:
We received your March 9,1999, letter addressed to Bill Richardson, Secretary of Energy regarding the Millstone Nuclear Power Station. The Department of Energy determined that the subject of your letter does not fall within its purview. Therefore, they referred your letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). We have forwarded your letter to the NRC staff for appropriate consideration. A copy of your letter and this reply are also being placed in Agency records on the Millstone Nuclear Power Station.
Sincerely, I
Emile L. Julian Assistant for Rulemakings and Adjudications i

Dear Mr. Richardson,
I write in strong opposition to any attempts to restart reactor #2 at Millstone Nuclear facility in Waterford, Conn.
Various accidents and safety violations have shutdown the Millstone plant frequently since its reopening last summer.
Our waterways are being pollutaci--although. you say in your letter to Representative Michael Forbes of February 9, 1999
{
that the amounts of radioactive tritium released by Millstone into the water are acceptable, I strongly disagree.
I understand from the NRC hearing held in Riverhead, NY, March 1, 1999, that the reactor #3 is now operating under probationary restrictions imposed by your commission. With this in mind, any attempts to restart reactor #2 seem irresponsible at best, criminal at worst.
Please don't allow Millstone to increase its operations in anyway,=*i1 there ie an adequate evacuctiva plan for
%g Eurarn T.cng 161end.

We are trapped; there is NO evacuation plan for us in case of a.ccident.
(After much study, Suffolk County government concluded years ago that an evacuation plan for Eastern Long Island was not feasible.)
It is irresponsible to allow our communities to be at such high risk for the sake of the profits of the pri.vate corporation, Northeast Utilities.
Please Close Down The Millstone Nuclear Power Plant.
The threat to our health and safety is too great!
