ag;L I am writing to ask you a ck, 0/aluw see to it that the Nuclear Regulatory Commiss-ion-carriUS OUt a comprenonsive, independent i nves t iga t ron into alleged saMty violations at the Seabrook_ nuclear power plan C barcre it considers granting the utility a low-power testing license.

Former employees at the plant have recently come torward and testified to a long list of alarming conditions and procedures at the construction site. These include epidemic levels of drug and alcohol abuse on the job, electrical cables along the inside of the containment vessel walls that give off sparks and ignite small tires, a clogged and inadequate fire protection system, improper mixtures used in the containment cement, empty beer cans and oottles dropped into wet containment cement (which may create air pockets), improper training procedures tor various jobs, including delicate welding work, and much more.

By now everyone is aware that accidents can and will happen at nuclear power plants. At any moment during operation a cooling system, a tire protection system, or a containment building could be tested to its limits, and the health and lives of thousands of people would depend on the integrity of the original design and construction or the plant.

Please let the NRC Know in no uncertain terms that the citizens in your state are aware of toe allegations being made by Seabrook construction workers, and that they will not be satistied with the Commission undertaking anything less than a well-designed, well-monitored, and independent investigation of these claims.

Thank you for giving your attention to this matter, i

l Sincerely, l s -
