D ar Charman Ahearne:

W wo>>ld like to request that the X~icle~r Resrul~ti rv Commission do an environmental impact statement on the low-level radioactive waste man~cement for the Brnwns Ferrv Nuclear Plant.

Enclosed is a cooy of our recent letter to 1VA "..hairman David Freeman.

Thank you for considering our request.

Rincerelv, Dr.  % Mrs. Robert Messer

Dear Chairman Freeman:

<ge have two questions. First, we would like to request that an environmental imoact statement be done on the low-level radioactive waste management for Browns Fe~a--for answers to q>>estinns not answered bv the TV% Environmental Assesstttent. The President's Co>>neil on Environ-mental -Oualitv has determined that an environmental imoact statement is to he need as a tool to good decision na'k'-ng. that it is to precede a deci on rather than heing an atsrete-hfa -tcdocnnent .Since the loa-level radioartive waste management for Browns Ferrv i,s a sienificant federal action and stnce the prorgtsed incinerator is a first of its kind, it hould be oreceded by an environmental impact statement.

Second, we wo>>ld like to know specif ical lv which radioactive sleaoncs mdiv be emitted;d; we'. wo>> 1". like an inclusive 1':s?in<, ~n oat d. tMd.lve of the Briviron~enta 1 Asses sm~nt radioactive emissions are discussed in gt.n-h t b eingg spec eral witho>>t pacific Therefore the twenty-seven page assessment t critical to pub'lic health and to the total sparsely covers w "h a is most mos environment.

Thank you for vo>>r consideration of .our.questions.
