Chairman United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.

20555

Dear Mr. Chairman:

The Second District of North Carolina, which I represent in the House of Representatives, includes areas that lie in close proximity to the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.

Citizens in the Second District have contacted me to express their concerns about safety at this plant and the licensing process.

Recognizing the vital role of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in evaluating nuclear power facilities and granting j

operating licenses, I am writing to reiterate my belief that public safety must be the top priority throughout this process.

While I do not oppose the use of nuclear energy to generate power, I do believe that meeting all legal requirements and safety regulations is essential.

Nuclear power can be an effective energy option only if it enjoys broad public support and confidence.

Ensuring the safety of nuclear plants is a critical factor in building and maintaining that confidence.

You may be assured of my commitment to working for safety in the nuclear industry.

Cordially, da Tim Valentine TV/$b
