In Atomic EnerEy Commission publication "The Natural Radiation Environment" by Jacob Kastner (1968), it is stated at page 18:

. Before a reactor-powered electricity generating facility is constructed on a site, public relations people usually call in radiation safety officers (called health physicists in the United States) to make measurements of natural background."

With specific reference to Mr. Kastner's remarks as published by the Atomic Energy Commission and reEarding the proposed Mid-land Units answer the following:.-

5 (a)

Does there presently exist a survey of the natural radiation background in the area which will be affected by radiation releases of any magnitude from the proposed Midland Plants.

If there is such a survey, then state the following:

(1)

When was the survey taken; (ii)

The names and addresses of the perecns, firms or corporations who participated in making the survey and analyzing its results.

(iii)

The scientific procedure fo11 cued in connection with the survey; (iv)

The results of the survey in terms of total natural background of significant radionuclides in each significant geo-graphic part of the total geographic area which was the subject of the sur-vey, explaining in detail the reasons, if any, why the background radiation differed, if it did, from one geographic part to another in the total geographic area surveyed.

Be sure to include in your answer the contribution to natural background from co-called man-made -

e.

~

radiation such as, for example, radio-active fallout and radiation from other possible sources.

(v)

If any of your me'asurements vary at dif-ferent times of the year, please state the differences and variances, and in-clude within your answer the total annual dose due to natural and man-made radiation, in terms of rems, which a person will re-ceive each year in the area surveyed prior to the construction of the proposed Midland Units.

State what differences, if any, in dose which will be received by a person in different geographic parts of the geographic area surveyed on a yearly basis subsequent to the proposed Midland Units.

(b)

If you have not made a survey of the natural background in anticipation of the construction of such proposed Indiand Units, then answer the following:

(1)

Why have you not made such a survey and

~

include.within your answer whether or not you think it important to have such a survey prior to the construction of the proposed Midland Units in order to.

e assess the effect, if any, upon persons living in the relevant area from the contribution to radiation dose from the

, proposed Midland Units.

(ii)

Did you ever discuss with any person, firm, corporation or federal and state agency the possibility or desirability of making such a survey in connection with your decision to construct the pro-posed Midland Units.

If not, why not.

If yes, then provide:

(a)

The names of such persons, firms, corporations or state or federal agencies; (b)

A listing of all correspondence had between them or among them which are in your possession or control; (c)

The dates of relevant conferences, conversations or discussions and the substance of each such conference, conversation or discussion.

(iii)

The PSAR indicates that you intend to make such a survey prior to completion of the Unit.

Does your study contem-plate that if a certain level cf back-ground radiation is demonstrated that you will modify your proposed Midland Units in some Sashion or manner to account for that specific level and, if not, why not.

(iv)

Is there any level of natural radiation background which would cast doubt upon your judgment to build the proposed Midland Units.

Explain your answer.

(v)

If there is no specific level of natural radiation background which would cause you to reconsider the construction of the proposed Midland Units, then of what significance is your proposed background radiation survey.

(c)

Do you consider a survey of background radiation a necessary prerequisite to a decision to con-struct a nuclear power plant in a given area.

If not, why not.

(d)

Is it true that you intend to attempt to con-struct the proposed Midland Units without regard to the resultc, of whatever nature, of your pro-posed background radiation survey.

(e)

Do you intend, subsequent to the initial back-ground radiation survey, to continue to make background radiation surveys on a regular basis.

If not, why not; if so, then state the following:,

~

s (1)

The procedures you will use in making such surveys to the extent that they differ from the original survey in the

~

PSAR.

(ii)

What level of increase in natural back-ground radiation, if any, would cause you:

(af To curtail operations of the pro-posed Midland Units to account for such increase; and (b)

To cease operations of the proposed Midland Units to account for such increase.

  • 165 Have you informed the persons living in the Greater Tri-City area, the persons living in Midland, Michi6an, your en-ployees who will work for you in the proposed Midland Units, the employees who will work at Dow and Dow Corning in Midland, Michi-gan, or any of.them, of the following:

.(a)

The amount of radiation each such person could receive from the proposed Midland Units; (b)

The amount of total radiation each such person could receive considering contributions to radiation from any source; and (c)

The possible consequences of danger of genetic and other diseases as a result of being exposed to radiation over a long period of time. -

s In connection with your answer, unless it is no, state in detail how you have accomplished informing the various persons listed herein of such information.*

166.

Is it your position that there is absolutely no danger of any adverse effect over a 40-year period or any lesser period, to a person at the boundary of the proposed Midland Units as a result of being exposed on a continuing basis of radiation from your proposed Midland Plants.

Would your answer be any different considering the present relevant natural back-ground of radiation and,1f not, would your answer be any different if the present natural background of radiation had any increase in i

its concentration.

If you feel you cannot answer this question yes or no, ther

'", your answer in detail and terms of proba-bilities, ine.~ Ang within your answer each fact, calculation and assumption upon which you base such probabilities.

  • 167 With respect to the remarks of Jacob Kastner appearing at pages 11 and 12 of the 1968 Atomic Energy Commis-sion publication "The Natural Radiation Environment" dealing with a safe amount of radiation or threshold of radiation in-sofar as genetic effects are concerned, as well as the entire question of determination of such " safe" level of radiation and particularly Mr. Kastner's remark that "However small the quan-tity of radiation absorbed mankind must be prepared to pay the price in a corresponding increase of the genetic loading" answer the following:

(

o q

(a)

Do you agree that any exposure to radiation, no matter how small, leads to the possibility of adverse effects of any kind upon human beings, other forms of animal life and plant and water life.

(b)

What formula, if any, of which you are aware has been used by the Atomic Energy Commission or is being used by you to establish the cost, in terms of increase of genetic load, to the Greater Tri-City area as a result of the release of j

various forms of radioactivity due to the opera-tion of the proposed Midland Units.

(c)

Do you believe that there is no threshold for genetic effect of radiation.

Be sure to include with this part of your answer each fact, calcula-tion and assumption upon which you base your conclusion.

(d)

What price in terms of the above quote from the aforesaid Atomic Energy Commission Publication in terms of genetic damage is considered accept-able by you to impose upon the public in return for increased generation of electricity or for the creation of the processed steam for Dow. *

-168.

What steps have you taken to inform persons living l

in the Greater Tri-City area as to how each such person can pro- -

s.

o

.i tect himself from receiving an overdose of radiation.

What measures have you provided to determine whether any such person has or will receive an overdose of radiatior, considering all radiation sources to which each such person will be exposed, and what steps have you taken to inform each such person how he would know if he had received an overdose of radiation at any given time from all sources.

The phrase " overdose of radiation" is to be interprete.d in this answer in two ways:

first, it is to be assumed that an overdose of radiation is anything which at least doubles the natural background radia-tion; and second, an overdose of radiation also means more i

radiation than 170 millirems per year.

Your answer should direct itself to answering the questions separately for each definition of overdose of radiation and should include all sources of radiation to which each such person will be exposed and not just that amount of radiation to be released frem the proposed Midland Units, including but not limited to such things as periodic X-rays from dentists, doctors, etc.*

169 In connection with your operation of the proposed Midland Units, do you intend to constantly meter the amount of radiation, other than released from the proposed Midland Units, which the persens living in the Greater Tri-City area will re-1 ceive and, if so, state in detail how and in what fashion.
