Dear Peter,
The Indian Point Nuclear Plants represent a very important concern within my legislative district. I have received a tremendous number of inquiries and questions from the community on this issue. My constituents are obviously very concerned and interested in this issue, as am I.
I have developed a list of questions regarding the fuel rods at Indian Point. The attached questions are part of my research, which will help me to determine what steps I should advocate.
I am-very interested in learning what your opinion is on the questions attached. I would be grateful for your reply to as many questions as possible.
I would appreciate receiving your input on the fuel rods questions as soon as possible.
Sincerely, San R
