Colonel Kerry A. Gilpin March 16, 2018 Superintendent of the MA State Police Certified Return Receipt Requested 470 Worchester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Superintendent, Kerry A. Gilpin, My name is Stephen B. Comley Sr., founder of We The People (WTP) a National Whistleblower Protection Non-Profit Organization. I am requesting to meet with you as soon as possible.

I want to thank you and your Chief of Staff, Detective Lieutenant Brian O' Riordan, after being contacted by Lisa Morales, Executive Assistant to MA Secretary of Public Safety, Daniel Bennett, in my behalf for instructing Trooper Cristina J. Lucin #3634, Fraud Identification Unit, to retrieve notes from a meeting I had September 2, 2016 with her and then Deputy Superintendent (now retired) Francis Hughes. This meeting took place at the Newbury MA State Police Barracks and was attended by other officials including John Giarrusso, Nuclear Section Chief of the MA Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) .

After reading Trooper Cristina J. Lucin's letter of February 14, 2018, (enclosure A) containing her recollections and memory of the September 2, 2016, meeting, I was shocked. Not only was Trooper Lucin's memory of what others and I said and revealed at this meeting not complete or accurate, but Trooper Lucin states in her recollection, any documentation I provided at this meeting, which I have copies of, are now missing. This information included certified letters, important documents, DVDs, and WTP's letter of my July 4, 2014, to Glenn T. Dentel, then Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Chief of Division of Reactor Projects, _Branch 3, 2100 Renaissance Boulevard, Suite 100, King of Prussia, Penn.

19406-2713. WTP's letter to the NRC of 7-4-2014, included enclosures outlining Cover-Ups by the NRC of unsafe conditions at the Seabrook Nuclear Plant and current inadequacies of Seabrook Station's Evacuation Plan. WTP also provided Deputy Hughes, with their permission, the names of WTP's brave informants connected to the present GAG ORDERS on the MA State Police and the NH National Guard.

It is irresponsible to me and many of your colleagues on the State Police, who I talk with routinely, why or how Trooper Lucin could have forgotten I revealed the identities of WTP's informants connected to the GAG ORDERS to Deputy Francis Hughes and others at this meeting including Mr. Giarrusso of MEMA.

My contacts at the NRC are also wondering why no one reported from MEMA's office to FEMA or the NRC what took place during the meeting of 9-2-16. In addition, why hasn't anyone from Maura Healey's Legal Team or from Governor Charlie Baker's office reported to FEMA and the NRC what they are aware of in connection with these GAG ORDERS on the MA State Police and NH National Guard?

WTP and others cannot understand why you haven't Superintendent Kerry A. Gilpin, Governor Charlie Baker or MA Attorney General, Maura Healey "who" WTP reported these GAG ORDERS on different occasions called for a complete investigation of what took place at this meeting of September 2, 2016. It certainly appears I am the only person who can or is willing to reveal what was said and what copies of information and documents I provided at this meeting. I certainly will make myself available to you or anyone else as long we agree to the date, time, right circumstances, so I can give my recollections of what I knew took place at the this meeting September 2, 2016, at the Newbury MA State Police Barracks.

Page 2 of We The People's letter of March 16, 2018 to Commander Kerry A. Gilpin of MA State Police.

Many of us have been reading about the ongoing investigation of "MA State Police Troopergate Scandal."

As you and Governor Baker know, this involved former MA State Police Colonel Richard McKean and his second in-command, Deputy Superintendent Francis Hughes, who, by the way, I have respect for. They both retired apparently due to altered MA State Police reports involving a Judge's d*aughter who was found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

WTP's informants from the MA State Police inform me, "McKean and Hughes fell on the sword to protect higher ups." I know for a fact Governor Baker ignored these GAG ORDERS on our MA State Police, who not only protect and serve us, but who protect Governor Baker when he is at the State House and at his home. I myself informed Mr. Baker twice these informants were told by their superiors not to questi'on and/or discuss any concerns relative to the viability or effectiveness of the approved Seabrook Nuclear Plant's Evacuation Plan. The second time was more recently in 2017. During both of these conversations, I revealed to Mr. Baker that MA Senate Minority Leader, Bruce Tarr, Assistant MA House Minority Leader, Bradford Hill and then Essex County Sherriff, Frank Cousins Jr., had endorsed WTP's call for the NRC to hold a hearing for First Responders. Both times Mr. Baker's response to me was, "Mr. Comley, I will meet with these officials about your safety concerns". WTP has recently been informed Governor Baker has never met with Sen. Tarr, Rep. Hill or with former Sherriff Cousins about these important safety issues.

Given my years of protecting whistleblowers the longer these courageous informants connected to these GAG ORDERS are ignored by high officials the more danger they and their families could be in.

Since WTP brought this and other troubling information to light, over 200 other MA and NH State Police, together with other first responders from local Police and Fires Stations, have stated to me there is no way the Seabrook Nuclear Plant can be evacuated safely and timely in the event of a nuclear disaster, especially during the summer months including July 4 and Labor Day. Even now during the winter months on weekends, traffic is mostly at a standstill because of the new Seabrook Shopping Center which lies along Routes 1 and 95 on land just in front of Seabrook Station. WTP has reported this activity several t imes to State Troopers stationed at the MA State Police Barracks in Newbury.

WTP wants to make you and your office aware since meeting with MA AG, Maura Healey, on two different occasions, Maura Healey elected to create a 4 member Legal Team, which includes her Chief of Staff, Mike Firestone. Maura Healey setup this Legal Team to supposedly investigate WTP's concerns of unsafe conditions at Seabrook Station and Cover-Ups by the NRC of Counterfeit Substandard Nuclear Parts bu ilt into most, if not all, U.S. Plants, including Seabrook.

WTP's informants and I are still waiting, once again, to meet with the MA AG's Legal Team . The last time I met with them was October 18, 2017 . When I arrived I was surprised to find out my request to be placed under oath was not granted. WTP's informants and I will agree to meet with MA AG Healey and her Legal Team only if we are placed under oath, so everything becomes a public record.

Please review MEMO (Enclosure B) from Senator Tarr's Chief of Staff, AJ Paglia, to Alicia Rebello-Pradas, Deputy Chief, Policy and Government Division Office of Massachusetts Attorney General, and one of the 4 Member Legal Team. Mr. Paglia expressed in this MEMO WTP's extreme frustration with the process since providing the Legal Team sufficient and applicable facts to investigate Seabrook's Evacuation Plan.

Page 3 of We The People's letter of March 16, 2018 to Commander Kerry A. Gilpin of MA State Police.

During my meeting with the Legal Team 10-18-2017, I provided them with lots of WTP's documents, including a copy of a transcript of a Tape-Recording of one of WTP's NRC informants. This was just one of the many Tapes Former President George H. W. Bush hired the U. S Department of Justice (DOJ) to seize.

President Bush's pick at this time for his U. S. Attorney General was Richard Thornburg. Mr. Thornburg was the Governor of Pennsylvania during the Cover-Up of the Three Mile Accident (TMI) in 1979 and WTP has and can prove evidence of this scandal. Mr. Thornburg was given the assignment by the Reagan/Bush Administration in 1988 to conduct a witch hunt of WTP's NRC informants. Bush's DOJ, had me under 2 Federal Subpoenas in MA Federal Court for over 6 years with the charge of "Conspiring to Topple the NRC with Roger Fortuna, Deputy (former) Director of the NRC's Office of Investigations."

DOJ was never able to prove existence of any Tape-Recordings they said I might have until a year ago, when I decided to call Mr. Richard Barkley, who I know and respect and incidentally works for the NRC.

decided to admit to Mr. Barkley I did indeed have tap,es but would not release any of them to the NRC, DOJ or the FBI. Unlike President Trump I can prove why I do not trust those agencies. Robert Mueller knows of me when he was a U.S. Attorney in MA while I was in Federal Court. Just maybe Special Council Mueller would be willing to work with WTP's informants and me in bringing the truth to the American People about cover-ups of safety by the NRC and the Nuclear Industries.

Commander Gilpin, I also want to make you and your office aware WTP has been successful in getting officials within and outside the 10 mile radius of the Seabrook Nuclear Plant to endorse WTP's call for the NRC to support a hearing on Seabrook's Evacuation Plan . This includes the Cities of Newburyport and Amesbury, The Towns of Newbury, Salisbury and Merrimac and the 2 Towns of Georgetown and Ipswich outside the radius . All 7 have written letters (Enclosure C) endorsing WTP's call for the NRC to hold a hearing for first responders. The only MA Town of the 6 within the 10 mile Radius of Seabrook Station who has not written a letter to the NRC is the Town of West Newbury. It should be noted, West Newbury's Police Chief and members of the Fire Department do not object for NRC to hold this hearing.

Many first responders throughout the State of MA and beyond are asking why hasn't Commander of the MA State Police, Colonel Kerry A. Gilpin, Governor Charlie Baker, MA AG, Maura Healey, MA Secretary of Public Safety, Daniel Bennett, endorsed what 7 MA Cities/Towns have done in calling for a NRC Hearing?

This NRC Hearing will give past and former first responders, who also have families to protect, the opportunity to testify whether they believe the Seabrook Evacuation Plan can be implemented safely and timely in the event of Seabrook Nuclear Disaster especially during the summer months.

I want to point out the City of Newburyport and the Town of Salisbury have previously called for the shutdown of the Seabrook Plant. WTP is a Nuclear Safety Advocate and is not calling for the shutdown of Seabrook Station. WTP, instead, is calling for the NRC to hold this first responder's hearing so everyone 0

who lives on t he Seacoast is assured a safe evacuation is possible before a nuclear accident occurs.

To date, I have not received a written or telephone response from Governor Charlie Baker or from any of his many staff members I have contacted concern ing my request to meet with him directly about endorsing We The People's call for the NRC to hold a first responders hearing. But I am still hopeful I will hear from Governor Baker so I can meet with him soon.

Page 4 of We The People's letter of March 16, 2018 to Commander Kerry A. Gilpin of the MA State Police In addition to State representatives WTP have contacted elected officials in the Wash.ington Establishment to endorse this NRC Hearing for First Responders. This has included President Trump's newly appointed NRC Chairwoman, Kristine L. Svinicki. Others in the Beltway includes U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Congressman Joseph Kennedy Ill and U.S.

Congressman Seth Moulton. WTP still has not received a reply from any of these U.S. Senators or Congressmen whether they will meet with me or endorse WTP's call for this NRC Hearing.

WTP has also contacted all of the NH Senators, most ofthe NH State Representatives, newly elected Governor Chris Sununu and NH Attorney General, Gordon J. MacDonald. As of this date, the only NH responsible elected leaders who have endorsed WTP's call for the NRC to hold this first responder's hearing are, Rep. Peter Schmidt of Dover and Former NH Rep. and Civil defense Director, Roberta Pevear (Enclosure D) who both have written to the NRC and MA AG, Maura Healey to endorse WTP's call for a First Responders' Hearing. I am also providing you with various media articles, letters and a recent interview of me by Merrimac Cable (Enclosure E) having to do with Seabrook Station's Evacuation Plan.

We The People is hopeful I will have the opportunity and honor to meet with you soon, Commander Kerry A. Gilpin. This meeting will give you the opportunity to discuss We The People's concerns about the unsafe conditions at the Seabrook Nuclear plant and the failure of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to protect the safety of the citizens of MA, NH and beyond . I know, Commander Gilpin, you would much rather help prevent a Nuclear Disaster from occurring at Seabrook Station than reacting to one.

Meeting_ with Stephen Comley (9/2/2016)

I. Qn Wednesday, February 7, 2018, I was instructed to retrieve notes from a meeting which occurred on September 2"11 , 2016. Mr. Steven Comley, who had requested this meeting, contacted DLT O'Riordan in order to obtain a copy of notes from this meeting. I attended this meeting as part of my duties while assigned to the Office of the Superintendent, and are now currently assigned to the State Police Fraud Identification Unit. Despite my best efforts, I am unable to locate notes from this meeting. Therefore. the following report has been written from my hcst recolleclions and memory of that day.

2. On Friday, September 2"J, 2016, I attended a meeting at the State Police Newbury Barracks with an individual by the name of Stephen Comley. Mr: Comley is the founder of an organization called .. We the People, a non-pro lit organization he describes as a whistleblowcr organization. Mr. Comley ha<l come unannounced to the home of fonner Deputy Superintendent Francis Hughes. in Newbury, to discuss his concerns with the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant (located in Seabrook. New Hampshire). Deputy Hughes (rct.) subsequently agreed to set up a meeting with Mr. Comley and our state emergency management agency (MEMA) to give Mr. Comley an opportunity to voice his concerns with our state's emergency management personnel.

3. The meeting took place on September 2 11d. 2016 at the Newbury State Police Barracks and was attended by the following individuals:

a. Lieutenant Colonel Francis Hughes, Deputy Superintendent, Massachusetts State Police (retired)

b. Major Arthur Sugrue, Commanding Officer Troop "A", Massachusetts State Police (retired)

c. Lieutenant James Devlin, Massachusetts State Police

d. John Giarrusso, Planning/Preparedness/Nuclear Section Chief, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)

e. Trooper Cristina Lucin , Massachusetts State Police

4. To my best recollection , the meeting was relatively short and consisted of Mr.

Comley providing letters written by Mr. Comley to various politicians, various reports about Seabrook Nuclear Power plants, and articles referencing Mr.

Comley' s activities.

5. Deputy Hughes (retired) re-communicated to Mr. Comley that the Massachusetts State Police have preparedness plans in place for a variety of facilities and disasters, which are constantly being reviewed. He also agreed to review the documentation submitted by Mr. Comley. Mr. Comley expressed some concern that members of the Massachusetts State Police \:vere being silenced" regarding their knowledge of flaws in the Seabrook Power Plant. All parties involved assured Mr. Comley that it was definitely not the case, that any concern regarding emergency management was welcome from both the public and department men~qers .

6. Mr. Giarrusso provided Mr. Comley his contact information after the meeting was concluded.

MAsENATE.cov TO: Alicia Rebello-Pradas, Deputy Chief, Policy & Government Division Office of Massachusetts Attorney General FROM: AJ Paglia, Chief of S t a ~

DATE: February 1, 2018 RE: Stephen B. Comley Sr. / "We the People" - Seabrook Nuclear Plant It is my understanding that your office has met with Stephen B. Comley Sr., a constituent from the Town of Rowley and founder of "We the People,, (a national whistleblower/nonprofit organization), in regards to his concerns/allegations related to the evacuation plans filed by the Seabrook Nuclear Plant.

In addition to his interaction with your office, Mr. Comley continues to contact our office on a regular basis in regards to this issue. He insists that he's been provided information from several confidential public safety sources (Massachusetts and New Hampshire}, alleging that the current/adopted evacuation plan filed by the Seabrook Nuclear Plant is ineffective during the swnmer months.

Over the past two years, Mr. Comley's concerns/allegations relative to this issue have been shared with local officials and constituents within the required IO mile radius ( extending into Massachusetts). As a result, constituent inquiries regarding the viability of the plan have significantly increased. In some cases, relative concerns have been docwnented in writing, in response to Mr.

Comley briefing a nwnber of Boards of Selectmen (Within the 10 mile radius) during open/televised meetings. '

I further note, aside from the attention generated from the press and cable access television related to such, Mr. Comley has recently purchased prime commercial billboard space on Rt. I in the Town of Salisbury. This billboard is very large and clearly calls the validity of evacuation plan/zone into question. Simply put, over the past two years, an increased number of individuals/officials within the IO mile radius continue to question viability of the approved evacuation plans.

Given that our office lacks the authority/ability to investigate Mr. Comley's allegations, taking a position on such (based on Mr. Comley's allegations) would be unfair and irresponsible. However, despite my numerous representations of such to Mr. Comley, he continues to provide our office with 1

volwnes of infonnation in support of his position. Although he indicates understanding our position, he contends that your office asserts having no jurisdiction in these matters.

During my more recent conversations with Mr. Comley, I indicated that I've been in contact with your office and it was my understanding that his documents, concerns and allegations were being reviewed. However, Mr. . Comley expressed extreme frustration with the process. He asserts the infonnation he provided to your office contains sufficient and applicable facts to support an investigation by your False Claims Division (under the authority of the Massachusetts False Claims Act, MOL c. 12, s. SA-50) 1 to investigate the Seabrook Nuclear Plant's evacuation plans. His assertion is based oµ his con,tention that the plant has and continuys to mislead municipal entities through the use of false claims/statements.

In conclusion, when considering Mr. Comley's allegations, I understand how this statute may apply in this case.: However, based on my concerns relative to the clarity of communications with your office, I** believe irifonnation contained in this memo may be helpful. Jn addition to providing your office with a better understanding of his position and how/why it continues to evolve in this case, it reiterates and clarifies the limitations of our office relative to such.

Should you have any questions, or if our office can be of any assistance, please let me know.

Thank you.

1 Using the Massachusetts False CJaims Act, M.G.L. c. 12, §§ SA-SO, the False Claims Division conducts civil investigations and prosecutions against companies and individuals who mislead or defraud state or municipal entities through the use of false or fraudulent claims, records or statements. The Massachusetts False Claims Act is a powerful law enforcement statute that authorizes triple damages and civil penalties ofup to $11,000 per false claim, as well as the AG's attorneys' costs and fees. The Act also allows private individuals known as "relators" to file lawsuits under the Massachusetts False Claims Act and to recover a portion of the proceeds in successful actions, subject to certain limitations.

The AG has rcco.vered hundreds of millions of dollars in government funds, mainly arising from Mass Health-related false claims enforcement, including relator actions.

• The AG's False Claims Division will be working with partners in government and whistleblowers to expand upon those successes outside the MassHealth context, recover funds for the Commonwealth and its citizens, and deter misconduct.

Dear Ms. Svincki,

As you know, Merrimac is one of six Massachusetts coastal communities that are within the ten-mile radius of the nuclear power plant. We are writing to express the board's support of the request by Stephen Comley Sr. of We The People to schedule a hearing to prove an opportunity for past and present first responders to testify whether they believe Seabrook Station's evacua ion plan can be effectively implemented safely and timely.

Dear Ms. Svinicki:

lam writing in response to public safety concerns raised by Mr. Stephen B. Comley, Sr.. a resident of Rowley, MA, and founder of " We the People,' ' a non-prolit nationaJ whistleblower organization, regarding the inadequacy of evacuation plan for the Seabrook, NH nuclear power station (Seabrook Station).

According to Mr. Comley, he has been provided information from several confidential public safety sources. alleging that the evacuation plan in question is .i neffective within the required I 0-miJe rad!us{which includes the Town of Salisbury) during the summer months. He also claims that the U.S. Nuclear ReguJatory Commission has ignored his public safety concerns. Ahhough the Salisbury Board of Selectmen does not have substantive infom1ation to support Mr.

Comley's allegations, we nonetheless remain very concerned about Seabrook Station and its evacuation plan.

Therefore, in the interest of public safety, the Board respect.fully requests that you hold a public hearing, at a location within the 10-mile radius of Seabrook Station, in order to elicit comments from those public safety and emergency medical response personnel who may have concerns about the evacuation plan. At the , ery least, such a hearing will ~ive the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission the opportunity to explain to the public how the plan is designed to work, preventing any misi.nfonnation and greatly reducing the concern that many residents of our town have as a result of the allegations Mr. Comley has made.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Dear Chairman Hawkl!ns:

TEL: 9i8-465-H07 F~~ : 9i S-46l-79 36 ln the interest of public safety. we are writing you to respectfully request that you hold a public hearing on your evacuation plan. Newburyport is within the I0-mile radius of the nuclear power plant known as *Seabrook Station* and according to the 2010 U.S. Census the populatjon within 10 miles was no less than 118.000.

Actually the population with 50 miles of the plant was 4,315,000 as of 201 O.

Mr. Stephen 8. Comley Sr. (founder of "We the People", a non-profit whistleplower protection organization) aJleges that the evacuation plan is ineffective and that his public safety concems have been ignored. Although we dt:

not have substantive information to support Mr. Comley*s allegations we remain very concerned ahout the plant and safety.

In 2012 the Newburyport City Council unanimously passed a resolution which contained. in pertinent part. the foll o\,..*ing requested remedial steps:

• Immediately halt all relicensing activities rdatcd to Seabrook Station;

• Conduct peer-reviewed studies of the reactor* s ability to withstand seismi, activity with compromised structural concrete. and publicly report the results of these studies:

• Fully in\'estigate the causc:s of the unabate~ groundwater infiltration and resulting concrete de!:,'Tadation. and publicly report the results of such investigation:

• Devise a corrective action program to address both groundwater infiltration and concrete degradation throughout the facility:

• Require the owner and operator of Seabrook Station to take corrective measures to stop gmund\,*ata intiltr:ition and related concrete degradation:

• Inspect and monitor the results of those corrective m ~ over a sustained (multi year) period of time to ensure that corrective measures are effective;

• If, following corrective measures and sustained monitoring, the,Nuclear Regulatory Commission determines that degradation of safety structures has not abated, that it suspend the license to operate Seabrook Station until safe operation of this reactor can be assured.

We did not hear back from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on this request.

We believe that a public hearing on the issue of the effectiveness of the evacuation plan will, at the very least, explain to the public how the plan is designed to ,vork and hopefully this explanation will reduce the concern that persists among our residents.

On behalf oftbe Newburyport City Council,

Dear Ms. Chairwomen,

We are writing in concurrence to a letter sent to the NRC by our State Senator, Bruce Tarr, dated April 13, 2015. In that letter Senator Tarr requested that you hold a public hearing at a location within the 10 mile radius of the Seabrook, NH power plant, to explain in detail how the evacuation plan is designed to work, particularly during the usually heavily crowded summer months.

We believe a hearing on the issue will help prevent any misinformation from creating concern or alarm within the 10 mile radius and directly outside the radius, where Georgetown is located.

Thank you for your consideration of our request. Ple;ise feel free to contact us directly, should you have any questions.

0 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCORD PO Box 1468 Dover, NH 03821-1468 August 11, 2017 CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED The Honorable Maura Healey Attorney General of Massachusetts One Ashburton Place Boston, Massachusetts 02108

Dear General Healey,

By way of introduction, I am State Representative Peter B. Schmidt, a fifteen year member of the NH House, with eight of those years as Chairman of the Strafford County delegation, and having previously served three years on the Dover City Council. I have lived on the NH Seacoast since 1983. I write to you today on a matter of great urgency. My views are my own.

During my time in public office, and having grown up in the nuclear age, I have kept an eye on developments at Seabrook Station, with a general concern for the nuclear industry, both nationally and world-wide. Public safety has been a significant consideration for me at all times. Having attended Atomic, Biological and Chemical (warfare)

School in the U.S. Marine Corps many years ago, I have had a decades-long keen interest in nuclear issues; and I have followed the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters quite closely. The question of a rapid evacuation of the populace in the event of an impending or actual emergency has occupied my thoughts during this entire period.

The unworkability of present evacuation plans is ever more pressing to those tasked with carrying out these plans; and in the recent past my chance encounter with Mr. Stephen B. Comley Sr now motivates me to urge you and your office to meet with him at the earliest possible moment. Mr. Comley is Founder of We The People, a National Whistle blower Protection Non-Profit. The wealth of evidence he has shown me establishes unequivocally the high priority of addressing the needs of our and your first responders. This Fourth of July produced the absolute worst traffic jam I have experienced here in thirty-four years, just for people trying to go north for a long weekend.

What would the entire area around Seabrook look like in a nuclear emergency? What would it mean for our states to face the dead zone, the "ghost coast" that a serious failure at Seabrook Station would entail? Look at Fukushima.

Your office has a responsibility to do everything in its power to prevent such a catastrophe here. Mr. Comley's documentation is very persuasive as to the danger we face. Please meet with him and endorse We The People's call for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to hold a first responders hearing so they can testify whether they believe the Seabrook Nuclear Plant can be evacuated safely and timely during the summer months, including July 4 and Labor day.

Please act. The first responders need and deserve it; our citizens, no less.

Sincerely,

~.

Dear Attorney General Healey:

As a former 10-year member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives serving Hampton Falls/Hampton, and the form-er 10-year Hampton Falls Civil Defense Director, I support the request of "We The People" for a first responder hear-ing for the Seabrook nuclear plant evacuation plan.

I was the prime sponsor of the bill that gave us an evac-uation plan; however, even though we got it up to ten miles, instead of two, as it came out of the Legislature, it obviously could not work, and, as I understand it, it doesn't get tested.

yours,

Dear Lisa Morales,

As requested today, In behalf of We The People {WTP) and the residents who live in 7 MA Cities/Towns within and outside the 10 mile radius of the Seabrook Nuclear, I request Daniel Bennett, Secretary of MA Public Safety, to write a letter endorsing WTP's call for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to hold a hearing for Past and Present First Responders.

As you know, Lisa Morales, from meetings and e-mail messages you and I have discussed, WTP is requesting Mr.

Bennett to endorse WTP's call for the this NRC hearing. WTP has been successful in getting officials with in and outside the 10 mile radius of Seabrook Station to support this hearing. This includes the MA Cities of Newburyport and Amesbury, MA Towns of Newbury, Salisbury and Merrimac and 2 MA Towns of Georgetown and Ipswich outside the radius. All 7 have written letters (some attached & latest article) endorsing WTP 's call for the NRC to hold a hearing for First Responders. This public hearing will give past and present first responders in https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/mail/sentitems/rp 3/1/2018

Mall - s.comley.sr([Youtlook.com Page 3 of 4 Massachusetts and New Hampshire the opportunity to testify whether they believe Seabrook Station's Evacuation Plan can be effectively implemented safely and timely 365 days a year, especially during the summer months whch includes July 4 and Labor day during high-traffic days on coastal roads in the region.

I am sure you also recall during one of our meetings, I notified Mr. Bennett's office and the NRC recently again, concerning the GAG ORDERS presently on the MA State Police and the NH National Guard .

I gave the names, with their permission, of the individuals connected to these GAG ORDERS during a meeting I was asked to attend 9-2-2016 at the MA State Police Barracks in Newbury MA, by Former Deputy Commander of MA State Police, Francis Hughes. Other officials were also in attendance at this meeting, including John Giarrusso, Nuclear Section Chief and MA Sate Liaison Officer for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). I understand from WTP's contacts within the NRC, this information should have been reported to FEMA and to the NRC and was not.

I personally have reported the presence of these GAG ORDERS to MA Governor Baker and to MA AG, Maura Healey and to a 4 member Legal Team which includes, Mike Firestone, Maura Healey's Chief of Staff. For your and Mr. Bennett's knowledge, Maura Healey set up this Legal Team to investigate WTP's concerns of unsafe conditions at Seabrook Station and cover-ups by the NRC of Counterfeit Substandard Nuclear Parts in most if not all U.S. Nuclear Plants including Seabrook.

I want to thank you again, Lisa Morales, for recognizing the seriousness of these safety matters and acting not only in WTP's and in my behalf, but also in your office's, in agreeing to contact the MA State Police Headquarters in Framingham concerning my request for Commander Colonel Kerry A Gilpin, to provide any minutes/or notes that were taken at the meeting of September 2, 2016.

Has Mr. Bennett or anyone in his office, as of this date, received copies of the information I provided together with any minutest/notes which I know were taken of the Meeting of September 2, 2018?

Please reply.

For your information, February 23, 2018, I received Trooper Cristina J. Lucin's #3634, (now with the MA State Police Department of Fraud Identification Unit) her letter of February 14, 2018 (attached) regard ing her recollections and memory of the Meeting of September 2, 2016.

After reviewing Trooper Cristina J. Lucin letter of February 14, 2018 to Colonel Kerry A. Gilpin, Superintendent of the MA State Police, I know many important details of what I recall was said by myself and other officials who attended spoke was not recalled or written in Trooper Lucin's letter. I believe a full investigation of this meeting should be conducted as soon as possible.

we The People will continue to inform you and Mr. Bennett of what the NRC reveals to WTP concerning this troubling information outlined above.

• Lastly, please send We The People a copy of MA Secretary of Public Safety, Daniel Bennett's letter of endorsement of WTP's call for the NRC to hold a hearing for First Responders . If Mr. Bennett decides not endorse this NRC hearing, please have him explain why.

Meeting with Stephen Comley (9/2/2016)

l. Qn Wednesday, February 7, 2018, I was instructed to retrieve notes from a meeting which

. **occurred on September 2nd, 2016. Mr. Steven Comley, who had requested this meeting, contacted DLT O'Riordan in order to obtain a copy of notes from this meeting. I attended this meeting as part of my duties while assigned to the Office of the Superintendent, and are now curreqtly assigned to the State Police Fraud Identification Unit. Despite my best efforts, I am unable to locate notes from this meeting. Tl}erefore, the following report has been written from my best recollections and memory of that day.

2. On Friday, Septel'nber 2nd, 2016, I attended a meeting at the State Police Newbury Barracks with an individual by the name of Stephen Comley. Mr: Comley is-the founder of an organization called "We the People", a non-profit organization he describes as a whistleblower organization. Mr. Comley had come unannounced to the home of fonner Deputy Superintendent Francis Hughes, in Newbury, to discuss his concerns with the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant Oocated in Seabrook, New Hampshire). Deputy Hughes (ret) subsequently agreed to set up a meeting with Mr. Cantley and our state emergency management agency (MEMA) to give Mr. Comley an opportunity to voice his concerns with our state's emergency management personnel.

(ovrR)

3. The meeting took place on September 2 11<1, 2016 at the Newbury State Police Barracks and was attended by the following individuals:

a. Lieutenant Colonel Francis Hug.hes. Deputy Superintendent, Massachusetts State Police (retired)

b. Major Arthur Sugrue, Commanding Offi.cer Troop .. A", Massachusetts State Police (retired)

c. Lieutenant James Devlin, Massachusetts State Police

d. John Giarrusso, Planning/Preparedness1Nuclear Section Chief, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)

e. Trooper Cristina Lucio. Massachusetts State Police

4. To my best recollection, the meeting was relatively shor1 and consisted of ~'Ir.

Comley providing letters written by Mr. Comley to various politicians, various reports about Seabrook Nuclear Power plants. and anicles referencing Mr.

Comley' s activities.

5. Deputy Hughes (retired) re-communica1ed to Mr. Comley that the Massachusetts State Police have preparedness plans in place for a Yariety of facilities and disasters, which are constantly being reviewe.d. He also agreed to review the

. documentation submitted by Mr. Comley. Mr. Comley expressed some concern that members of the Massachusetts State Police were '*being silenced" regarding their knowledge of flaws in the Seabrook Power Plant. All parties involved assured Mr. Comley that it was definitely not the case, that any concern regarding emergency managen1ent was welcome from both the public and department members .

6. Mr. Giarrusso provided Mr. Comley his contact informa tion after the meeting was concluded.

volumes of information in sup*po1t of his position. Although he indicates understanding our position, he contends that your offi.ce asserts having no jurisdiction in these matters.

During my more recent conversations with Mr. Comley, I indicated that I've been in contact with your office and it was llly Wlderstanding that his documents. concerns and allegations were being reviewed. H{)wever, Mr. Comley expressed extreme frustration with the process. He asserts the information he provided to your office contains sufficient and applicable facts to support an invtstigation by your False Claims Division (under the authority of the Massachusetts False Claims Ac4 MOL c. 129 s. 5A-50) 1 to investigate the Seabrook Nuclear Plant' s evacuation plans. His assert.ion is based on his contention that the plant has and continues to mislead municipal entities through the use of false claims/statements.

In ooncJusionl when considering Mr. Comley's allegations, I understand how this statute may apply mthis case. However. based on my concerns relative to the clarity of conununications with your office, I bell.eve information contained in this memo may be helpful. In addition to providing your office with a bett~ understanding of his position and how/why it continues to evolve in this case. it reiterates and clarifies the limitalions of our office relative to such.

Should you have asy questions, or if our o.ffice can be of any assi~tan,ce, please let me know.

Thank you.

M.G.L. c. 12, §§ SAwSO, the False Claims Division conducts civil mvestigafiom :and proswmons against companies and individuals who mislead or defraud state* or municipal entities through the use of false or fraudulent claims, records or statements. Th.e Massachusetts False Claims Act is a powerful law enforcement statute rhat authorizes lripte damages and civil penalties of up to S 11,000 per false claim, as weU as the A G's

Stephen B. Cory,ley Sr's letter for Consideration to be published as a guest column.

My name is Stephen B. Comley Sr., Founder of We The People (WTP} a National Whistleblower Protection Non-Profit Organization. Many, as I, have been reading about Governor Baker's "sky-high popularity." I personally believe Mr. Baker is going to have a very bumpy ride during his re-election bid when more of WTP's State and National Scandals continues to be given coverage by community newspaper reporters.

Unlike Mr. Henry's "Boston Globe", some community newspaper's owners do not require their reporters to look sideways before they give any coverage to WTP's National Scandals, especially, our nuclear ones, which could affect their pro-nuclear readers to cancel subscriptions.

One example is WTP's ongoing investigation into the, "MA State Police Troopergate Scandal."

This involves former MA State Police Colonel Richard McKean and his second in-command, Deputy Superintendent Francis Hughes. They both retired apparently due to altered MA State Police reports involving a Judge's Daughter who was found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol and negligent operation of a m/otor vehicle. When WTP completes our investigation, the Troopergate part will look pale to WTP's probe of the GAG ORDERS SCANDAL on the MA State Police and tlie NH National Guard regarding Seabrook Station . .

WTP's informants from the MA State Police inform me, "McKean and Hughes fell on the sword to protect higher ups." I know for a fact Governor Charlie Baker ignored these GAG ORDERS on our MA Troopers, who not only protect and serve us, but who protect Governor Baker when at State House and at home. I mysel.f informed Mr. Baker twice these informants were told by the ir Superiors not to question and/or discuss any concerns relative to the viability or effectiveness of the approved Seabrook Nuclear Plant's Evacuation Plan.

Since WTP's brought this troubling information to light, over 200 other MA and NH State Police, together with other first responders from local Police and Fire Stations, have stated to me there is no way the Seabrook Nuclear Plant can be evacuated safely and timely in the event of a nuclear disaster, especially during the summer months. Even now during the winter months on weekends, traffic is mostly at a standstill because of the new Seabrook Shopping Center which lies along Routes 1 and 95 and on land just in-front of Seabrook Station . .

September 2, 2016, I was invited by then Deputy In-Command, Francis Hughes who WTP has a Jot of respect for, to participate in a meeting at the MA Newbury State Police Barracks. Others were present, including John Giarrusso, Nuclear Section Chief of the MA Emergency Management Agency (MEMA} . Part of the information I included, with their permission, were the identities of the informants connected to the present GAG ORDERS.

WTP has requested the new Commander of the MA State Police, Kerry Gilpin to provide WTP with a copy of the Minutes/Notes I know were taken at this meeting 9/2/16. In addition, I also have asked President Trump's newly appointed NRC Chairwoman, Kristine Svinicki, MA Attorney General Maura Healey and Department of Safety Secretary, Daniel Bennett to request a copy of the notes of 9/2/16 meeting. Just Recently I was informed these notes are now missing.

Page 2 Stephen b. Comley Sr's letter for consideration to be published as a guest column.

Since meeting with MA Attorney General about these safety issues, Maura Healey elected to set up a 4 member Legal Team which includes, her Chief of Staff, Mike Firestone. Maura Healey created this Legal Team to supposedly investigate WTP's concerns of unsafe conditions at Seabrook Station and Cover-ups by the NRC of Counterfeit Substandard Nuclear Parts built into most, if not all U.S. Plants, including Seabrook. These Bogus Parts are also in Nuclear Weapons we sell to Europe which President Trump keeps bragging about how he is creating jobs. Surely President Trump can find a much safer way to produce Jobs. How about starting to disarm nuclear weapons?

WTP's informants and I are still waiting, once again, to meet with The Legal Team. The last time I met with them was October 18, 2017. When I arrived I was surprised to find out my request to be placed under oath was not granted. WTP's informants and I will agree to meet with Maura and her Legal team only if we are placed under oath, so everything becomes a public record .

During my meeting with the Legal Team, I provided them with lots of WTP's documents, including a copy of a transcript of a Tape-Recording of one of WTP's NRC informants. This is just one of the many Tapes Former President George H.W. Bush hired the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to seize. President Bush's pick for his Attorney General, at this time, was Richard Thornburg, who was the Governor of Pennsylvania during the cover-up of TMI accident, which WTP has and prove evidence of. Mr. Thornburg was given the assignment by the Reagan/Bush Administration to conduct a witch hunt of WTP's NRC informants. Bush's DOJ, had me under 2 Federal Subpoenas in MA Federal Court for over 6 years with the charge of "Conspiracy to Topple the NRC with Roger Fortuna, the former Deputy Director of the NRC's Office of Investigations." DOJ was never able to prove existence of any Tape-recordings, they said I might have, until a year ago, when I decided to call, Mr. Richard Barkley, who I know and respect and incidentally works for the NRC. I decided to admit to Mr. Barkley I did indeed have tapes but would not release any of them to the NRC, OOJ or the FBI. Unlike President Trump I can prove why I do not trust those agencies.

WTP was successful in getting officials within and outside the 10 mile radius of the Seabrook Nuclear Plant to endorse WTP's call for the NRC to support a hearing on Seabrook's Evacuation Plan. This includes the City of Newburyport and Amesbury, the towns of Newbury, Salisbury and Merrimac and the 2 Towns of Georgetown and Ipswich outside the radius. All 7 have written letters endorsing WTP's call for the NRC to hold a hearing for first responders. The only MA Town of the 6 within the 10 mile radius of Seabrook Station who has not written a letter to the NRC is, the Town of West Newbury., Why hasn't Maura Healey, as of this date, endorsed what 7 MA Towns have done by endorsing WTP's call for a NRC hearing? Why haven't the Selectmen written the ir letter to the NRC which was unanimously voted on at a Rowley Annual Town Meeting?

This NRC hearing will give past and former first responders who also have families to protect, the opportunity to testify whether they believe the Seabrook Evacuation Plan can be implemented safely and timely in the event of a nuclear disaster especially during the summer months.

Page 3 of Stephen B. Comley Sr's letter to be published as a guest column.

I have spoken with Governor Baker on two different occasions regarding WTP' s concerns about unsafe cond it ions at the Seabrook Nuclear Plant. The first time occurred the day before Mr.

Baker was sworn in governor. The second time was more recently in 2017.

During both of these conversations, I informed Mr. Baker, MA Senate M inority Leader, Bruce Tarr, MA Ass istant House M inority Leader, Bradford Hill and then Essex County Sheriff, Frank Cousins Jr., (who Baker passed over to become MA Public Secretary of safety) had endorsed WTP's call for the NRC to hold a hearing for First Responders. Both times Baker's response was, "Mr. Comley, I want to assure you, I will meet with these officials about these important safety matters." I have recently been informed Governor Baker has never met w ith Sen . Tarr, Rep. Hill or with former Sherriff Cousins about these important safety issues concerning Seabrook Station.

In addition to State representatives WTP have contacted some in the Washington Establishment to endorse a NRC hearing for first Responders. This has included President Trump who, as yet, has not taken the time to tweet me. Others in Beltway includes U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey, U.S.Senator Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Congressman Joseph Kennedy Ill, and U.S. Congressman Seth Moulton. WTP still have not received a reply from any of these US Senators or Congressmen, whether they will endorse WTP's call for this NRC hearing.

WTP has also contacted all of the NH Senators, most of the NH State Representatives, newly elected Governor Chris Sununu and NH Attorney General, Gordon J. MacDonald . To date, the only NH responsible elected leaders who have endorsed WTP' s call for the NRC to hold this first responder's hearing are, Rep. Peter Schmidt of Dover and Former NH Rep and Civil Defense Director, Roberta Pevear who both of whom have written to the NRC and MA AG, Maura Healey to endorse WTP's call for a First Responders' Hearing.

Albert Einstein said, To the Village Square We Must Take the Facts of Atomic Energy, From There Must Come America's Voice" . Democracy will work only if and when people decide to get involved and take action .

Please contact WTP if anyone wants to post a WTP's sign with the message we have on RT One in Salisbury, "Caution President Trump : Seabrook Nuclear Zone No Evacuation Possible, Investigate the Nuclear Regulatory Comm ission ."

I hear lots of people compla ining about how President Trump is runn ing the .Wh ite house. Over my 32 years of investigating the media, politicians and corruption within Washington, I found out the only way for me to bring about real change was to instead of just complain ing, I had to get involved and take action.

Dear Ms. Svincki,

As you know, Merrimac is one of six Massachusetts coastal communities that are within the ten-mile radius of the nuclear power plant. We are writing to express the board's support of the request by Stephen Comley Sr. of We The People to schedule a hearing to prove an opportunity for past and *present first responders to testify whether they believe Seabrook Station's evacuaiion plan can be effectively implemented safely and timely.

Thank you for your consideration.

McDonald November 8, 2017 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairwoman, Kristine L. Sviniclci U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Conunission Washington, DC 20555-0001

Dear Ms. Svinicki:

-I am *writing in response to public safety concerns rai~ed by M,r. Stephe~. B. Comley, Sr., a resident of Rowley, MA, and founder of "We the People," a non-profit .national whistleblower organization, regarding the inadequa_c y *of evacuation plan for the Seabrook, NH nuclear power station (Seabrook Station).

According to Mr;.Comley, be has-been provided infom1ation :from several confidential public safety sources. alleging that the *e.v acuation plan*in question-is ineffective within the reqwred 10-mile radius (which includes the Town 9f Salisbury) during the summer months. He also claims that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has ignored his public safety concerns. Although the Salisbury Board of Selectmen does not have substantive infonnation to support Mr.

Comley's allegations, we nonetheless remain very concerned about Seabrook Station md its evacuation plan.

Therefore, in the interest of public safety, the Board respectfully requests that you hold a public bearing, at a location within the 10-mile radius of Seabrook Station, in order to elicit comments from those public safety and emergency medical response personnel who may have concerns about the evacuation plan. At the very least, such a hearing will give the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 'the opportunity to explain to the public how the plan is desigried to work, preventing any misinformation and* greatly reducing the concem*that many residents of-our town have as a result of the allegations Mr. Comley has made.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

PROFILE OF STEPHEN B. COMLEY SR. Web site www.stephencomleysr.com I Stephen B. Comley, Sr., is a business-owner, farmer & founder of We The People a National Whistleblower Protection Non-Profit Organization residing in Rowley, Massachusetts-just 12 miles away from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. For over 80 years, his family has owned & operated now by his Son for 26 years the Sea View, Rehabilitation & extended Care Community. Steve Sr. is one of the leading nuclear safety advocates in the country. Since the mid-1980' s he has brought whistle blowers forward concerning the reckless disregard for the public' s safety and first brought to light the presence of Counterfeit Substandard Parts present in most US reactors including Seabrook Station with much attention in the news .. .always with an eye towards protecting those who chose to help eradicate fraud & abuse in the energy conglomerates & the federal government. It all began when Comley requested further information about an evacuation plan should Seabrook Nuclear Plant fail. In its current status, the plan does not & still does not extend beyond a 10-mile radius. This meant Senior Citizens residing at the Sea View & his family was left at risk. A former Nuclear Regulatory (NRC) Commission Executive Director (Victor Stello Reagan appointee) informed in a letter to Comley to leave his special needs residents behind & administer potassium iodid~ by caregivers who would be willing to stay behind in the event of a nuclear disaster at the Seabrook Nuclear Plant. This inhumane treatment still is in place now at all the nuclear plants in the U.S. & beyond making a certain segment of our population expendable; Mr. Comley vowed to make it his duty to speak out about this violation of human rights---not only as a business & family-man, but as a Christian soldier. Most notably, CNN, TIME & 60 Minutes have all covered or followed him &

his efforts.

As you may surmise, whistle blowers rarely get rewarded for their honesty & integrity.

Some have been fired from their jobs, & others, like Steve, have lost even more. His reward for exposing the severe deficiencies in Nuclear Industries & the cover-ups within the NRC- the federal regulatory arm of the U.S. government charged with overseeing the industry & protecting the public is well-documented including the TIME Magazine

. Cover Story, "Nuclear Warriors" & the CNN special, "Inside the NRC": Regulation or Intimidation?" The NRC served Comley with a Federal Subpoena which stated: "Mr.

Stephen Comley & Roger Fortuna, deputy (former) director of the NRC Office of Investigations are Conspiring to Topple the NRC & if Stephen Comley does not turn over the tape-r.ecordings he has made of high officials in Washington he could be jeopardizing the safety of the American people & the security of U.S. Nuclear Plants from around the country." This turned into a 6 year court battle in MA US Federal court with the US NRC Inspector General finally dropping the subpoena in favor of working with Comley.

Despit~ th~ 32 ye.ars of efforts, sadly, the importance of Mr. Cor.nley's message has fallen on deaf ears by several administrations beginning from Presidents Reagan to now Trump.

Mr. Comley has also contacted all of the presidential candidates who like the national liberal media have turned a blind eye to these unsafe conditions at US nuclear plants.

Even though former Obama staff member Leon Panetta & David Williams, (Now Inspector General of the Postal Office) former NRC Inspector General, requested investigations by the Department of Justice & the FBI their requests were never acted on.

Page 2 Profile of Stephen B. Comley Sr., Founder of We The People Over the years, Comley & his National Whistleblower Protection Non-Profit Organization (501© 3), "We the People" he founded in 1987, also requested investigations by the FBI & the Department of Justice but these appeals were not honored. Yet, in Mr. Comley's eyes & others who blew the whistle, there is unfinished business. His story is one of incredible fortitude, persistence and faith.

Steve still is very active in his pursuit for making sure democracy works. His passion &

concern for the safety of the American people is rare these days. He is doggedly diligent about making sure students across the country remember their rights as citizens. During his lectures to college students he stresses the importance of having a voice & a say in democracy. He wrote to the President & Mrs. Obama regarding unfinished business concerning the protection of United States citizens should a nuclear fallout take place.

The White House signed for the letters, which to date have remained unanswered.

In a recent petition to President Trump, Vice President Pence, Speaker Ryan & Members of Congress, Comley calls for intense reform in the regulations which dictate the safety &

efficacy of nuclear plants across the country. Among the action he seeks for President Trump's administration & Congress to enact & include:

Congress to create an independent commission to investigate the U.S. Nuclear Commission (NRC);

Hold the industry accountable to higher standards of Quality Assurance & Safety Inspections including but not limited to the use of Substandard & Counterfeit Parts; Create evacuation plans & public responses that include all Americans with respect to short-term & long-term effects of nuclear accidents.

Comley has been a registered Independent voter all his voting life but now a republican while running for President. Steve is also a Lifetime Member of the Republican Inner Circle. He is a Graduate of Atlantic Union College. He is a national speaker on the issues of Nuclear Safety & recently was invited & spoke in Japan & South Korea.

Richard S. Barkley PE Nuclear and Environmental Engineer USNRC Region 1--Branch 3 Work (610) 337-5328 Cell {610) 608-1517 Mr. Barkley, Attached is more proof stated in articles from We The People's work with David Williams's Office of NRC IG. These articles were written from a number of NRC IG investigative reports We The People was given cred it for being to light. I believe these articles and what I have previously given you, substantiates any remarks I have stated in the past or recently, as true . This information I believe proves what NextEra Energy Spokesman, Peter Robbins publicly stated said is a lie. These is not question in my mind, this was an attempt by NextEra Energy to discredit me and WTP as a National Whistleblower Protection Group. Just for you review, the following is the recent false statements made by Peter Robbins, "Mr.

Comley has a long history of making false allegations and baseless claims against Seabrook." Robins wrote, Independent agencies, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, have reviewed his cla ims and allegations and have found them to be without substance."

If it is found anyone in the NRC provided NextEra Energy with what Peter Robbins said or wrote in his statements above please provide the name of that individual who said, The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, have reviewed his claims and allegations and have found them to be without substance."

If there is no such evidence, please have the appropriate NRC office so state that in writing to WTP.

I would like these attachments and E-mail placed in NRC ADAMS for Public review. WTP also https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/mail/sentitems/rp 3/1/2018

requests these attachments and message be sent and included with the previous documentation your office has been sending to NRC Chairwoman, Kristine L. Svinicki for her review.

Thank you once again, Mr. Barkley, for your continued co-operation in these important matters.

Sincerely, Steph -8. Comle:t. -{'~ b/.t-.
