Division of Reactor Licensing M?.2 TING WITH BUREAU OF SAFETY, NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ON AIRPORT PROIIMITY TO THREE MILE ISLAND STATION - DOCKET 50-289 On February 28, 1968, Dr. M. Mann and myself met with Mr. W. S. MacNamara and Mr. F. M. Hallowell of the Bureau of Safety, National Transportation Safety Board. Tne Bureau of Safety performs accident inves tigation for commercial craft and compiles statistics for both commercial and general aviation. It was formerly under the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB).
We expressed the following areas of interest: (1) probability of a crash as a function of distance froc the airport, (2) confirmation of the statistics submitted by the applicant, (3) fires or explosions which might occur, and (4) the distribution of debris fran the craft.
Mr. MacNamara said that data from 1964 on was computerized and in about 2 weeks he could obtain the following information: (1) general aviation accidents which occurred from 1964 through 1967 on takeoff and landing and a brief synopsis of each accident and (2) a verification of the applicant's data on fatal air-carrier crashes (1956-1965) and a list of nonfatal takeoff and landing accidents from 1964 through 1967.
Mr. Hallowell said that in most cases of nenfatal crashes the pilot would have enough control of the plane to avoid the facility.
They will provide us with a copy of a typical debris-distribution chart compiled by their investigators. In most cases the debris are distributed along the flight path with lictie to the side.
Information on fires will also be provided. Mr. Hallowell said that there is probably less chance of explosion in a jet than propeller crash because of the less volatile kerosene fuel.
Mr. MacNemara estimated that the above information could be provided in about 2 weeks and offered to help us in any way he could, cc:
