Honorable Ernest Hollings: There are a nunber of people in the Clemson area who are quite disturbed about the recent spill of radioactive iodine by Duke Power Company into the waters of Lakes Keowee and Hartwell and Duke's subsequent belated reporting of this spill to proper authorities. Apparently this - is not the first instance of negligence on Duke Power's part. There has been almost no coverage of this hccident in the news and we are concerned that this may be passed off as simply another " minor incident." Since the health hazard from radioactive substances is in cunulative tems, we are extrenely anxious that such contaminating accidents do not occur again. This issue very directly affects the health and quality of life of South Carolinians. Therefore, we urge you to have this matter investigated, to see that punitive action is indeed taken against Duke Power Conpany, and to take action to prevent reoccurrences of nuclear contamination of our waters.
