Cotrissioners NRC NRC puBLIC DOCUM E#g Sirs:
I have just had the great displeasure of receiving your decision on the FINAL FUIL CYC1E RULE.
I must admit to thf veracity of en-statement on Page4.
" effluent release values, standing alone, do not maaningfully convey the environmental signifif!ance of uranium fuel cycle activites Your right. and since the entire Table S 3 is nothing but a meaningless congloceration of effluent release values, table S3 conveys nothing ceaningful.
Page 16 bottomj! petitioned the Commission not only on the grounds of horrendous numbers of deaths attribuiable to the radon releases but also ika on the grounds of the past Eistory of vast errors promulgated by the nre epidomized by the radon issue. Por instance, the NRC was 100,000 -imes in error on the radon value according to its own Dr Walter Jordan. NRC's Reginald Gotchy agreed with Dr Chauncey Zepfords calcilation which showed that the NRC figures for radon were too low by millions or more.
Dr Rasmussen admitted that the 500,000,000 to one figure from Wash 1400 was really one to one.
The NRC has a history of errors of 100,000 times or greater. This is the kind, of veracity the public will find and expect and get in Table S-3.
Page 37, 38 Ia very happy that the Board knows so such about th4 future so clearly.
This prognostication reminds me of a question that a former ? ope asked his architects when they forgot to put bathrooms fan the plans to a Vatican building.
"Sunt Angeli?"
Page 50 "The Co= mission does not agree that historical expe51ence should be the definitive measure for repcocessing impacts."
T Youte right.
We now know from the experience at hree Mile Island en '.' arch 28, 1979, that historically things keep getting worde !
T erefore, we rus; know assume that anything which has gone wrong h
in :he nuclear indusrry is only a prelude for things to go much worse.
I say, "Take this decision back now before it does more harm. Vacate
~ ble S:cp all the nukes right now."
