i. <br />This silence leads me to conclude that Progress Energy is not serious about <br />addressing our concerns, but is only interested in appearing to be open and receptive. <br />You may recall'that, at the time we did intervene in the matter of the storage of <br />high -level radioactive waste at Shearon Harris, we were similarly offered tours of the <br />facility. I met you and other staff members from what was then Carolina Power and <br />Light when I took that tour in the late nineties. While everyone was cordial, a guided tour <br />by professionals of lay people is not likely either to allow knowledgeable, probing <br />questions or to unearth significant truths. <br />Therefore, I would consider. it a much more meaningful offer if any tour of the <br />facility would include representation from NCWARN, the Union of Concerned Scientists, <br />and members of the news media. Such a delegation would allow more informed <br />questioning, and a more transparent discussion of issues of importance to the region <br />and to our constituents. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />11� 5 <br />�� <br />County Bo -i (4,Qf Cho nmissioners <br />CC: Board of County Commissioners <br />Kevin Foy, Mayor of Chapel Hill <br />Mark Chilton, Mayor of Carrboro <br />Jim Warren, NCWARN <br />David Lochbaum, Union of Concerned Scientists <br />Robert Gruber, Executive Director of Public Staff, N.C.
