Dear Senator Specter:
\\
~
I want to urge you to support many other Americans and Pennsylvanians in a petition filed with the NRC requesting that licenses and construction permits for all Babco:: & Wilcox nuclear power plants be suspended until the following conditions have been satisfied:
- 1) the NRC completes its promised safety reassement of the B&W design;
- 2) public hearings are held to q
determine modifications needed to bring B&W reactors up to an adequate level of safety; and, 3) the necessary safety modifica-i tions have been implemented.
]
As a resident of the TMI area, I insist that the NRC give me and my neighbors something more than empty promises.
The NRC has already revealed through its research that B&W reactors--like the one we have in Unit I, at TMI--are more dangerous than other plant designs.
To my knowledge NOTHING is being done to rectify l
the deficiencies in Unit I.
Federal law requires that the NRC prevent the operation of any nucler power plant in which there I
may be reasonable doubt as to the danger it presents to the l
health and safety of the public.
1 I seek your support in demanding that the NRC give the public an accounting of its responsibilities.
Sincerely yours,
/
