Dear Sir,

As a ci+1 zen and a. resident of the Connecticut River Valley, I am quite concerned ~oy reports of " accidental"' releases of radicactive water from the Vernon Nuclear plant into t,he Connecticut River which runs nearby my home.

I must question the wisdom of policies which may be endangering my' health and safety and that of my neighbors.

I believe that the policies of dumping hot cooling water and radioactive emmissions into the river is highly questionable and may have long range detrimental effects now unforeseen.

Beta emmitting isotopes discharged by the Plant can be absorbed by fish and animal 1_*e, including man.

Massive amounts of hot water, allowed to be dunped since 1974, may be ladically altering delicate aquatic eco-systems which are nog only partially understood.

In light of the poor safety record of the Vernon ?lant and it's frequent releases of radioactive water (200,000 gallens in September 1979 and 83,000 gallons in July 1976) into a body of water near my residence in Northampton, I must urge a public hearing on the issue. of the re-licensing of the Vernon Plan 's rights to discharge thermally polluted water into the Connecticut River.

In addition, I would request some assurance that radio-active emmisions from the Plant will. cease and that adecua'te en-vironmental =onitoring of isotope concentrations in the river silt and wildlife be conducted and that the files be opened to public scrutiny and discussion.

Sincerely,,
