Please read further for more info. It would BE GREAT if you could send in the letter for standing and pass this on to others from your home areas who might also do this for us. I am cc'ing Gretel of BEST/MATRR and Sandy with BREDL in case you have any other questions. THANKS! <strong>DEADLINE IS MAY FIRST, 2013!</strong></span></div>

If you (and/or friends) are concerned about a 20 year extension to the operating license, we hope you will sign the enclosed Declaration of Standing, which authorizes our parent organization, the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League (BREDL) to represent you (as a member) in contesting this 50% extension of the plant's 40 year design-life-span. Many nuclear engineers consider the ice-condenser design of Sequoyah and Watts Bar to be the most dangerous of all reactors for several reasons, not least of which is the thin containment walls which become brittle with age (to save money, they are only half as thick as other reactor containment walls). </span></div>

Membership fees are on a sliding scale for affordability, beginning at $5, but we send $20 per member to BREDL each year, so if you can afford $20 or more, please pay accordingly and we will certainly put it to good use, as volunteers working to keep our valley energy safe and clean. </font><font size="3">Please pay your <u>tax deductible</u> membership via PayPal from our <a href="http://donatejoinbestbredl.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Donate</a> page @ </font><a href="http://donatejoinbestbredl.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><font>http://donatejoinbestbredl.blogspot.com</font></a></span></div>
