EE*CRE THE AT0"IG SATE"'Y & LICENSIt'G AFFEAL 30ABD 12/19/79 Re: Hope Creek Docket Fos. 50-354
& 5G-355 Response of David A. Caccia to AIA3-W footnote V2 "y participatior ir 'he Rador issue has consisted of two br e's, the latest one dated 1/3/?9, a copy of which is enclosed.
i Essentially I take issue with the Boards conclusion that the few deaths due to the radon released in con.iunction with Perkins is insignificant.
If the cost / benefit relation between a nuclear Fenerator and another source of power is at exact equipoise, then any adverse health effects of nuclear would shif t the balance against nuclear.
A recent study done by the Environmental Defense Fund, comparing nuclear power with the energy alternatives of solar, conservation, etc., found nuclear to be less cost-efficient than the energy alternatives.
From this, I conclude that a sinilar study for Hope Creek would show similar results.
But assume such a study fer Hope Creek should find nuclear and the energy alternatives to be in exact equipoise.
Then even one death due to radon would tip the balance aGainst nuclear.
In all probability the balance is arainst nuclear already, so the radon effects only tips'the balance further.
The Board has not responded to my brief of 1/3/79 It would be difficult for me to attend the upcomming evidentiary hearines.
If any of the other intervenors would be willine to incorperate my contention with their case. I would be Flad to work with them. Please contact me at the address below.
Respectf lly submitted, oA&-5.
