- 6. For many years, I have collected data from governmental sources including the Connecticut Tumor Registry with regard to cancer ncidence and other related issues with particular regard to the Millstone Nuclear Power Station.
- 7. Current findings of my research are summarized In a report entitled "Risks of Cancer and Other Diseases From the Operation of the Millstone Nuclear Plant," dated August 5, 2004, a copy of which Is annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A.
B. It is my professional opinion, based upon my educational background, iny review of governmental source material Including filings Vith the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, my work with the Radiation and Public Health Project and my review of scientific papers and reports that the Millstone Nuclear Power Station operations are responsible for increasing the risk of cancer and related diseases In the surrounding community as well have having a causative connection to the phenomenon of higher Incidences of cancer in the surrounding community.
O.Further, It Is my professional opinion that the Millstone Nuclear Power Station operations present a present continuing threat to the health of the community.
- 10. Further, it is my professional opinion that as long as the Millstone Nuclear Power Station emits radloisotopes to the environment it will be a threat to the health of the community.
- 11. Further, it is my professional opinion the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission need consider and apply the term 'safety' to relicensing 2
FRON : NANCY BURMN ESO Fk, NO. :203 938 316-3 Oug. 09 204 0:0EP11 P3 proceedings with regard to current knowledge of the health effects from prolonged exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation.
- 12. Finally, it is my professional opinion that as Millstone Units 2 and 3 age, the risk of adverse health effects including heightened cancer incidences to the community will Increase because of economic Incentives on the part of the owner and operator to generate electricity at close to capacity and defer maintenance until scheduled refueling outages.
I hereby declare that the facts and statements set forth hereinabove are true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief under penalty of perjury.
