17033 Mr. Joseph M. Hendrie Chairman U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.
20555
Dear Mr. Hendrie:
~I note with much apprehension, that the NRC has recomnended licensing of the.
materials."
I find this statement to be both arrogant and misleading; t:o the public.
- First, please define for me what "significant" means.
Any low leva'adiation releases're significant as has been admitted and proven, even by the ol8 AEC and the NRC's own.
studies.
There is no safe level of radiation exposure.
How can you say then that.
.releases are of "no significance?"
- Secondly, you "anticipate" no environmental impacts.
May I remind you that, Three Mile Island was not "anticipated" or planned for either Where man is in-volved, there will never be a safe nuclear power plant.
The nuclear way is an unforgiving way.
Once the unanticipated h'appens, it stays mth us for generations.
Thirdly, it is time to tell the public the truth regard ag the "normal operatioaa1 releases" from nuclear plants.
How much "normal" radiation. ~ll be or is projected to be released by the Berwick plant, how much "normal" radiacion is currently being released by the operating plants in this country, and who sees
- these, and how are.
these "normal" release ceiling levels set?
The current standards were initia~lly set in order to jnstify atomic bomb testing Those standards were kept in order to )ustify nuclear power plants because the nuclear industry and our government rec'ognizes that no plant. operates without "normaL'"
releases of radiation.
Recognizing that the AEC, NRC, and other scientific studies have proven that there is no safe level of radiation exposure+negates the "aoxmal" release standards.
currently used.
Normal may be normal for a nuclear plant, 'hut not for a clean environment and certainly not for the health and safety of The public.
Mr. Joseph M. Hendrie August 30, 1979 Page 2
- Moreover, the boiling reactor cores at the Berwick plane are untried an un-proven as to their overall safety and functioning. It does not matt h
an accide es no.
matter how xemote nt of any kind may be, a chance is still there especiall h
es gn. It only takes one accident to release dangerous radfation.
The. safety equipment and men at the Berwick plant are untried and unproven j t h
en us as they were Lastly, let us use honest, straightforward language and tell the truth..
,. "The temporary loss of habitat may have significant adverse impacts on the aquatic
.community in the vicinity of the site," really means that it ~ould kill a13 fish and wildlife currently living near the site.
In summary, the Berwick plant is another threat to the Susquehanna Rivex VaZ.ley, an added burden and danger not needed by the people of Central.
X' as a nuclear facility, should not be licensed and operated.
Xt is not safe to the normal environment of the people in Central Pennsylvania.
It is incumbent on the NRC in its charge "to protect the. health and saf'ety of the public" to tell us the truth about the.Berwick plant and the other nuclear power plants.
Please inform me in whatever scientific or i t9Xi o
non-sc en c terms you. wish:
The Rasmussen Report has already been proven to be incorrect.
3.
How do you define "normal",?
Normal operational levels of radiation emission are quite different and separate from norm 1.
k d
n rma Dac gxound levels of radiation already existing in the environment.
Also, because oZ bomb testing and power plants the "normal" levels of background radiation have increased over the past 30 years.
4.
What individuals, by name, set these "normal" levels?
5.
~ How much "normal" radiation will be expected to be released in Berwick?
6.
What are the NRC's recorded, documented levels of "normal" xadiati releases from the operating plants in the United States?
Mr. Joseph M. Hendrie August 30, 1979 Page 3
Thank you for your anticipated prompt response to the above.
