Alan Muller Green Delaware PO Box 69, Port Penn Del. 19731 NIRS (Nuclear Information and Resource Service)

Michael Mariotte, Director (2) Please add the following as additional information and clarification of our 2.206:

The UNPLUG Salem Campaign wishes to clarify that our key request is that the four New Jersey nuclear plants should be closed down until the rest of our requests for increased security are met by the utilities and the NRC. Sam Collins letter of 12/20/01 does not specifically refer to that request. NRC will be endangering the safety of the public by allowing inadequately secured nuclear plants to operate in New Jersey.

We have additional concerns and requests to be added to our 2.206 letters, in addition to the information provided by David Lochbaum:

(1) For Oyster Creek, the NRC should halt and reverse all permits that have allowed the construction of dry cask storage of nuclear waste. No dry cask storage should be allowed to be built without the NRC first holding an ad judicatory public hearing, and without all of our security requests being met. Dry cask storage, which will be placed within 400 feet of US Route 9, is an obvious terrorist target. Because Oyster Creek failed an OSRE test, and because of the nearness of the waste storage to a busy highway, all dry cask storage plans should be halted.

(2) Oyster Creek must demonstrate that they have viable security plans to protect the water intake systems from terrorist attack.

(3) Oyster Creek must demonstrate that their containment will withstand an Oklahoma City-type truck bomb.

(4) For Salem Units 1 and 2, PSE&G must demonstrate that they have a viable plan to protect their water intake system from a terrorist attack.

(5) Salem must demonstrate that they have a viable plan to protect the nuclear plant in a terrorist attack that cuts off electric power to the plant, in conjunction with an attack on the diesel generators.

(6) Salem must demonstrate a viable plan in the event of a commando attack from the Delaware Bay.

(7) In conjunction with David Lochbaums report on terrorist attack and fire safety, the NRC must cancel its plans to allow PSE&G to not replace all of its bogus raceway fire barriers, and instead require PSE&G to indeed replace ALL the fire wrap in question. In addition, NRC must rescind its ruling that allows Salem 1 and 2 to operate with combustible fire seals, and instead, require PSE&G to replace all its combustible fire seals. Additionally, NRC must require PSE&G to replace all wiring that violates NRC rules for cable separation. NRC must reverse any recent changes in these rules.

(8) NRC shall direct the NJ Emergency Management and the State Police to allow citizen stakeholder groups such as UNPLUG Salem and Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch to observe and comment upon emergency planning and evacuation drills. NRC shall direct the above to include nuclear terrorism as a subject of evacuation drills and emergency planning.

(9) NRC shall agree to reopen the entire NRC website to stakeholder groups like UNPLUG Salem and Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch, with acceptable means of security involved.

Respectfully Submitted Norman Cohen Coordinator, UNPLUG Salem Campaign
