Dear Mr. Chairman:

v3 J s Since nuclear power scares the hell out of me and scares the hell

~

out of a lot of other people, I wrote the commission of which you are chairman a letter on the 28th of January, 1980. -

Now, in that letter and combined 6ith this letter, I set fo'rth the following facts:

1. The Midland Nuclear. Plant, a twin sister of TMI, is being built a mile from downtown Midland and less than three c.uarters of a mile as the crow flies, trom my home.

2. The license to build the nuclear plant is in direct vic-lation of Congressional intent on distance frem populated areas.

3. The license violates NRC rules and regulations on siting and distance frcm populated areas.

4. The license to build was granted without giving adequate consideration concerning the spent fuel problem.

5. The safety implications and environmental impacts of radicactive secrage on site - a mile frcm Midland's main street - had never been truthfully considered by the old AEC, new the NRC.

6. The issuing authority failed to consider adequately the cumulative impact caused by the spen fuel storage, es-pecially under any expanded program.

7. Since the NRC staff have publicly admitted that a Class 9 accident did take place a TMI and, as I have explained before, Midland is a twin sister plant, it is now incum-bent on NRC to step the building of the plan: because:

a. If a: the Midland Nuclear Plan; a Class 9 l acciden: happens this type cf acciden: )

would have an impac: On the spent fuel i even if parcially leaded with spen: fuel. l

b. If an explosion or " melt-down" would occur at Midland, after it went into operation, what I

effect and to what extent would the accident have on the spent fuel pool even if partially loaded with spent fuel?

8. My rights as a citizen of Michigan and the United States are being violated by imposing upon me future radioactive abuses and degraded environmental conditions in violation of the Constitution and the NRC rules and regulations. It never was Congressional intent to abuse citizens. .

I hope, Mr. Chairman, that you will take action to stop building the Midland Nuclear Plant.

To help you in your decision making process, I am sending a copy of this letter to each U.S. Senator in Congress and to the news media.

Sincerely, ff
