1717 H Street, N. W.

.rq I am writing on behalf of a group of concerned citizens who jg li?

reside in the Sixth Congressional District of Kentucky. This  := .i group of approximately 100 families lives in close proximity to e-the Zimmer nuclear power plant in Moscow, Ohio and their concern focuses on the possibility of nuclear radiation exposure in the  !=

event of an accident similar to the one at Three Mile Island. E 9.1

-~

These citizens primarily are concerned with the following ~~~~~ 9=I questions.

1. Who is responsible and would be held liable for damage to the health and/or property of these ==

people in the event of exposure to radiation?  : .=.

2. Was the construction of the Zimmer plant really neces.sary? Doesn't the area already have a more  ;;j than adequate number of nuclear power facilities? ={

3:4

3. Why won't Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company who =5:f is responsible for construction and maintenance of Ed the Zimmer plant send an official spokesman repre- '::j senting CG&E to talk with them about this matter? . ..,_;j

a. .

Er =ij Any information or assistance you may provide which will 9.4 help me respond to my constituents will be appreciated. =El Yours very truly,
