COMMENTS ON NUREG-0841, DRAPE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT, RELATED TO THE OPERATION OP.

PALO VERDE CLEAR GENER-ATING STATION, UNITS 1,2, and 5.

To whom it may concern:

Below are my comments on the DES, provided recently on my request.

Dohert Comment 1

In Appendix G, the following statement

occurs, "To illustrate:

a single-model 1000-Mt'1e LfiR operating at an 80-percent capacity factor for 50 years would be predicted.

to induce between 5.5 and 5.7 cancer fatalities in 100

years, 5.7 and. 17 in 500 years, and. 56 and. 60 in 1,000 years as a result of releases of radon-222."

This is the clearest explaination of radon Xrom the fuel. cycle on human beings.

The Z<'ES should contain:

a) The range of fatalities for the project at the expected.

capacity factor for 40 years from cancer, for those years; b) The range of cancers which do not kill their victims induced by radon-222

. at the expected capacity'actor for 40 years from the fuel cycle, for those years; c) The range of number of birth d.efects induced by x'adon-222 fuel cycle activity for the project for 40 years for those years at the expected capacity factor; and d.) The range of fatal birth defects induced. by radon=222 fuel cycle activity for the project for 40 years at, the

expected, capacity factor, for 100 years, 500 years and. 100~ears.

That is, the effect of radon-222 on humans should be explained more, fully than it is in the DES.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
