Vietti-Cook Secretary of the Commission U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Stop O-16G4 Washington, DC 20555-0001 (301) 415-1969, 1-800-368-5642, 301-415-7000 TTD: 301-415-5575 E-mail: NRCExecSecanrc.qov Re' Release North Anna Nuclear Power Station Records
Dear Chairman:
In 1977, the Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into Virginia Electric and Power Co, the owner of the North Anna power plant.
The investigation revealed that the company covered up its knowledge of a seismic fault line that runs beneath the plant.
Over 30 years later, in August 2011, an earthquake hit only 11 miles from the plant, causing damage at North Anna and the shutdown of two of its reactors.
Key documents from the 1977 case could shed light on possible safety concerns, but they remain locked away in a Virginia university, as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission considers whether to put the North Anna reactors back online.
The NRC should promptly release the documents at the University of Virginia so the public can determine their relevance to current safety decisions. The fact that a recent destructive earthquake was twice as great as the design basis for reactors whose siting and licensing was the product of a regulatory failure underscores the importance of an amended license and heightened transparency.
I draw your attention to the full POGO request: http://www.pogo.qorq/pocqo-files/letters/nuclear-security-safety/nss-pp-20111101.html Hoping that the concerns expressed in POGO's will receive the attention they deserve, I remain, Yours sincerely, Robert E.
