Judentry Assemblyman 2nd District May 26,_1998 Dr.-Shirley Ann Jackson, Chair Nuclear. Regulatory Commission Washington,-D.C.
20555
Dear Dr.-Jackson:
I am writing to voice strong opposition to the reopening of Millstone Reactor
- 3 at Northeast Utilities in Waterford,
In taking this position, I join with my fellow East Enders who.ask that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission take every precaution to protect the health and safety of the public as regards nuclear reactors.
As demonstrated by the long and costly battle that Long Islanders waged'to prevent the start-up of the Shoreham nuclear power plant, it is clear that - Long Island does not want any part of nuclear power in-its own region.
It is ironic then, that we now. find ourselves facing the potential impact of a nuclear meltdown from a nuclear reactor in another state a mere 15 miles from our northern shores.
As many of the operational problems and concerns that caused the 1985 shutdown of the three Nuclear Reactors at Northeast Utilities have not yet been addressed to the satisfaction of citizens' groups, and as there are many health and environmental issues as regards how low level radiation and radioactive wastes are impacting our residents and Long Island Sound, and as there is no evacuation plan in place in the event of a nuclear accident, I ask that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission uphold its responsibility to the people-it serves by ensuring that Millstone Reactor #3 remains closed until such time as safe operational standards have been established and implemented.
~
On behalf'of my constituents in the 2nd Assembly District and all residents of eastern Long Island, I~thank you in advance-for your anticipated consideration of this urgent request.
_ Sincerely, huh Feed W. Thiele, Jr.
