. SENSE 79 Introduced by Legisl: tor Lcvy 10/28/86 SENSE OF THE LEGISLATURE OBJECTING TO THE RECENT REMOVAL OF TWO JUDGES FROM THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION LICENSING PANEL.

WHEREAS, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is empowered by the United States Congress to determine whether an operating license may be issued for a nuclear power plant and WHEREAS. it is the contention of the Suffolk County Legislature and the Governor of the State of New York, that evacuation from densely populated and geographically unique Long Island is impossible in the event of a radiclogical accident at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant. and WHEREAS, approximately 80% of the residents of Suffolk County oppose the licensing of Shoreham, and WHEREAS, on February 13, 1986 the Long Island Lighting Company conducted an evacuation drill which this Legislature considers a " farce" and a " sham", and WHEREAS. in September of 1980 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission conducted three hearings on Long Island consisting of 23 hours2.662037e-4 days <br />0.00639 hours <br />3.80291e-5 weeks <br />8.7515e-6 months <br /> of testimony from over 90 residents expressing their wish that the plant remain closed, and WHEREAS, within a month of these hearings. the N.R.C. had the audacity and the temerity to remove from the Shoreham licensing process two of the three judges who took the time to listen to the emotional, elaborate and imperative testimony at these hearings, now, therefore, be it RESOLVEO, that the Suf folk County Legislature hereby finds such action repulsive, callous and insulting to the members of the Legislature and the people of Long Island who took the time to express their concern to these judges and underscores our belief that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is attempting to " stack the deck" to issue LILCO an operating licenso despite the fact that the flaws within the plant, the inadequacy of the LILCO evacuation plan and the impossibility of evacuation, overwhelmingly support the denial of such licensing, and be it further RESOLVED. that this Legislature requests that those judges so removed, be reinstated on the panel that will determine the adequacy of the LILCO evacuation plan.

and be it further RESOLVED. that should reinstatement not be granted. this Legislature requests that the people of Long Island be given an opportunity to address those newly appointed members of the N.R.C. here on Long Island within the reasonable date of their appointment, and be it further RESOLVEO, that the Clerk of the Legislature forward a copy of this resolution to each individual member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
