2.206 petition on contaminated water leakage
Dear Mr. Reyes:
Attached is an electronic copy of a 2.206 petition. The original hard copy of the petition is in the mail to you.
This petition is submitted by a large coalition of organizations and individuals spanning the United States in response to a troubling series of "surprises" about longstanding, undetected leaks of radioactively contaminated water into the ground around nuclear facilities licensed by the NRC. The most recent "surprise" was reported just last month at the Braidwood nuclear plant in Illinois and is said to involve the leak of several million gallons of contaminated water - some of which appears to have migrated off the site and into nearby drinking water wells.
The petition requests the NRC to issue Demands for Information to other NRC licensed facilities to determine if there are any other "surprises" waiting to be detected.
