' ear br. Juiler As a Harferd C nnt ces de living both dcunstrea2 and downwind of the T:11 :luclear Reactor, both my f amily and I are e:ctremely concerned with the clean-up of the reactor site.

I attended the scoping meeting on March 20,1930 at John's Hopkins U.

concerning the cican-up. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is t2 be applauded for prom; tin 3 public participation in identi ying the scope of the Environmental Impact Stat ent (EIS) for the clean-up.

The following considerations should be included in the EIS:

First that additional public participation meetings be scheduled to review the dr0f ting of the EIS including the final draft.

Second to reiterate the overwhelming concern of the 400 or so individuals in attendance at the above meeting-that e radioactive material be released to the environment ( air, water, or soil) of the Susquehanna diver Basin, the Chesa-peake Bay Watershed or the surrounding areas.

Third that the cost of cleanup ( equipment, labor, technology, etc, ) not be a significant factor in selecting the cleanup processes or methods.

ny cost benefic analysis will demo-strate that the analysis will demonstrate that the best and safest technology is the most inexpensive what-ever the price when compared to the cost resulting from additional accidents or the use of technology which is inadequate.

Fourth that a compresive emergency plan be developed specific to D!I for the three states most directly involved ( Pa., Md.,

& Del.).

And more significantly that a training program be established for key individuals at state, county and local governmental levels and others with direct responsibility for the emergency plan. A plan is no better than the people and the training to implement the plan.
