1 Dr. Jackson, I bes ech eas o not allow Unit III at Millstone nuclear po r~ stat t
start.
Whats the rush to restart?
Could it be aff Norp e, Utilities must get this unit online by July'l to recoyhrLt so called stranded costs from Connecticut Bill 5005-the'Etility restructuring bill?
One cannot go a few days in Connecticut without hearing some outrageous tale of NU's ineptitude and avaricious behavior.
This week the headlines are about how NU lobbyists met 23 times with you and other NRC commissioners!
Although "no laws were broken" it just proves who has more access to those who make the decisions.
Nonetheless, the week before it was akaut a leaky valve at Unit III.
Eventhough you, Dr. Jackson, feel NU handled this much better than a leak in 1993, I do not feel NU handled this well at all.
How can they have responded well when the equipment needed to isolate the valve was not there?
This alone is clear evidence that NU is cutting corners in a rush to restart.
Don't you think so?
I could go on, but I realize the time constraints, as you vill be voting on this issue very soon.
But I do have a few questions-why only check 5 out of 88 risk and safety significant systems at Unit III?
(And because the NRC does not have the funds to check all these systems is not a suitable answer.)
The public tafety is at riek!
(The funds could be there if someone withienough authority thought it were important enough.)
Also how can almost 7,000 material deficiencies be deferred till after restart?
Please respond.
And please keep these unsafe and mismanaged plants offline.
