4 March 9, 1999 Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, Chair Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Dr. Jackson,
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 snutdown the Millstone plant-frequently since ics reopening last summer.
Our waterways are being polluted--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 until there is an adequate evacuation plan for Eastern Long Island.
Provisioning of potassium iodide should be included in this evacuation plan; this effective thryoid blocker should be stored in every doctor's office, every school nurse's' office, every hospital and pharmacy in case of emergency.
We in Eastern Long Island live in a densely populated area only 12 miles away from Millstone.
We are trapped; there is NO evacuation plan for us in case of accident.
(Af ter much study, Suffolk County government concluded years ago that an j
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 private corporation, Northeast Utilities.
Please Close Down The Millstone Nuclear Power Plant.
The threat to our health and safety is too great!
Sincerely, 0hgAuJ/
