Dear f:
- r. isc0 ride:
Ue have reviewed the revised Draft Environmental Statement concerning the Russellville f:unicipal Airport relocation. Our review indicates that the selected site for airport relocation (Site 7 in the environrental state-rent) has the proposed 6000 ft runway aligned with the Arkansas nuclear One nuclear power station. We estinate that the projected general aviation traffic (24500 annual operations by 1996) will increase the probability of an aircraft crash on the nuclear power station structures to a level considered to be marqinally acceptable by the fRC staff in the normal safety review of nuclear power plant license applications. Previous staff analyses of aircraft impacts on plant structures indicate that crashes in-volv'ng light aircraft are lot expected to produce significant damage to typical nuclear plant strut. cures. Our concern, however, is that the presence of a 5000 ft runway, ceupled with the comercial growth potential of the area, could lead to future airport expansion and the possible introduction of ccm-rercial aircraft using the airport.
Impacts from larger jet aircraft, and corrercial type aircraft in particular, could result in significant plant damage and the possible release of airborne radiation to the extent that 10 CFR Part 100 dose guidelines may be exceeded.
The above considerations indicate that the proposed airport relocation has the potential for becoming a hazard to the operation of the nearby nuclear power station and, hence, can pose an undue risk to the health and safety of the public in the area. We request that the proposed 6000 ft runway be realigned, so that its extension is well away from the nuclear power station.
As a minimum, a revised runway orientation should be no less than 30 degrees from the direction'of the nuclear power statinn. Alternatively, the airport should le relocated well beyond 5 miles from the station.
Sincerely, w onal signed by Daniel R. Mull 6r Daniel R. Muller, Assht. ant Director for Environmental Technology Division of Engineering
