Dear Congressman Cederberg:

Last March there was a serious fire in the Brown's Ferry nuclear reactors in Alabama that caused great concern nationally. The fire was started when a workman used a candle to check air flow and the foam insulation in the reactor caught fire. In the investigation which followed the accident, it was noted that all the electrica1 urcuitry that co n.c cil m the safety systems for both reactors was routed through one area in the reactor complex. .5ince this was one area dc.:;a;cd tv the fire, the redundancy in safety inat the nuclear inuustry lias assured the public was part of all reactor designs >was knocked out for both reactors. This unexpected incident was one of 1.he reasons that the G.2. engineers resigned recently to urge that the nucicar pro-gram be hal ted untii these flaws in design are corrected. 'Ihe engineers also stated th:: f ollo'.ti ng : Mistakes are inevitably made in implementing a new technology, but in the nuclear industry we lack a co-herent program for correcting the mistakes. The govern-ment and industry, when iney discover design defects, re-write safety regulations for future designs. Dut they have repeatedly exenpted previously approved nuclear plant s from t he snfety r?q':irements app.licable to new nuclear plants. As a result we have accumulated a large number of plants with serious flaws. Since the design for the Midland n-plants has been approved and is now under construction, I believe it is essential for us who must live so close to these plants to find out if the design of the Midland reactors has the serious flaw in its electrical system, similar to that of the Drown's Ferry reactor. I would like to have the people in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in charge of approving the design and licensing of the Midland reactors answer this question for us and send us blueprints of the electrical circuitry approved, so that our engineels can review them.

Cong. Cederberg March 8, 1976 As you know, Mr. John Farris, Director of Public Information of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has in the past deliberately lied to both you and me about the questions the Regulatory staff had raised over the appropriateness of the siting of the Midland and Fermi # 2 n-plants. Therefore, it would do no good to have him answer this inquiry because he has no credibility for us. Please follow up this request with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It is of vital importance to the people and industry of the Tri-County area. Sincerely, ? /) r /L. a / -t- ~ G - u ?. c. ~ MarySinefair Saginaw Talley Nuclear Study Group P.S. The letters of resignation of the G.E. engineers are en-closed, as well as their credentials. Thev are verv exnlicit about all the dangers of Inu nuclear teciutology and its tareas to our national security and to the life of the planet. I hope you take time to read them.

~ 'For immedl.te relense. Ncus Release L'ashington, D.C. (February 6, 1976)... Three engineers who rasigned this week frot:t the nuclear industry are asking the l U.S. Nucicar Regulatory Coralssion (NRC) to undertake an j it: mediate revieur to determine whether it is safe to continue to operate the country's 56 licenced nuclear power plants under e.<isting safecy regulation :. T h e t'.:r e e es;.nue rr>, nat i.i.. v:o ay t.:any;m in General Electric's nuc1 car energy ef forts, said that "nec1.:ar po.:ar plants now operatin;; in the U.S. are ple.;ued by desien de-fccts and operating probier:n to an ev. tent that poses a major-safety dilemma for t.he nation that must be promptly addressed and resolved." Da} e. Bridenhnu.:;S, Richard Hubbard and Gre;;9ry Minor will outline some of their majtir concerns to the NRC today at a 2:00 P.M. meeting with URC Chairman ',silliam Anders. "The safety of existing nuclear power plants has been badly compromised by the nuciene industry's rush to build more and more.new plants," the engineers told a Washington press conference.

N;ws Ralcasa/ page two ~ " Mistakes are int.itably m.tde in implementing a new technology," they said, "but in the nuclear industry ue

• 1ack a coherent progrcm for correcting the mistakes. Tae government and industry, when they discover design defacts, rewrite safety regulations for future designs. But they have repeatedly exempted previously approved nuclear plants from the safety requirements applicable to new nuclear plants. As a result we have accumulated a large number of plaats with serious finw.i."

The engineers cited a fire last year in a nuclear plant in Alabama, the browns Ferry plant. The fire showed that the installation of control cables too close togother was extremely dangerous since the fire knoched out redun-dant safety systems. Yet almost all of the nuclear plants currently in operation, they said, "contain the name, or even less satis' factory, catie roucihg systems." The sane fire demonstrated the need for improvement in remote shutdown capabilities, a festure nonexistent in most older plants. Another example cited by the engineers was the belated discovery that some of the containment systems intended to prevent the release of large amounm of radioactivity in certain types of accidents nay be unable to function because the containment could Ltwlf 1.e breae.aj duria rbe cecident. Because of the containnent damage, portions of the emergency core cooling systems. could cico be rendered inoperable.

e - Press Release / page 3 The three engineers al.un c:<pr2sned deep concerns over a number of other problems thar acciousiy jeopardize the future of the nuclear power program. 5 They questioned seismic (ecrrhquake) design standards, the lack of adequate proof-testing of the emergency core cooling systems, and the absence of string,ent regulations on replacement ~ parts, components and procedures. Another serious question they discussed related to the 4 suitchility oC materic13 to perform for long periods of :.i:.:e 1.n t!n c ov2 re en tiro:r:.'n*. i-

Dear Don:

During the past year and a half I've experienced a serics of events which have forecd me to question the continued operation and proli f eratien of nuclear pnwcr plants.- I see that we have accome an industry of narrow specialistu with little comprehennion of the total impact of our indiridual actions. I feel it is inper tive that the peopla of California know tha truth about nucicar power and know tha:. there are peop2e t i r. th. i n J. u t r y who have serious doubts and racervations abou: continuing j our present cmtrse. Consequently, I have decided effective today, Februcry.W, to tominate r-r aio ?. "m t "ith General Electric and to dovete myscif full time to the t.as% of educating ny fellow Californians en thu neral and technical issues encompasced b/ the ' :cicar S1' 9ardn Ini tiativo. When I jcine? the nucica" di" inion in 1%4 I waa very -excited abo p. th: pr.: ":.ac o! th: rw t xhc.01e?, -- the promise of a virtually limitless source of cafe, clean and econom,ic energy for this and future generatienc. Like many of ny colleagpts, I co-ncicuoly chose to bypasc the technical and finahci.:1 gl.imour of ti;o defensc/ aerospace - industriec, ard inctnad to pieneer'in the infant nuclear industry.

I have seen too many instances where engineers did not consider all the relevant parametern, where craftr. men did not foll'ow the preceribed manufacturing and construction methods, where the plant operator acted in error when called ugon for a splic-second decisica, and where plant maintenance decisions were based on continued power production -- not plant safety. T know that very few people .are awarc that one of Lite plan t was tes, pl u;. onium, must be safeguarded from the biosphere for nearly 500.,000 years; that there are procontly no long-term radioactive waste storage facilitics; that the genetic affects of the wastes challenge our continuing existence; and that the disposal w - .a"-

India's construction of an ator. bomb from nuclear fuel cicarly demonntratcs that nuc1cer power plants and nuclear wcapons arc inseparable. If the forecasted nuclear power plants are conctructed in the U.S. and if the rush to 2 export the nuc1 car technology to the emerging nations continues unabat.ed, then plutoniu.v. will be readily available for weapons diversion, hijacking, subctage, and ransem. The power of the aton vill be evailable to any tyrant or dissident group. We Californians cannot ignore our global interdependence. I have struggled hard in arriving at today's decision.

Dear Harry:

This is to inform you that I am resigning fecm the General Cloctric Ccmpany effective today. ?-y reason for leav;.y la a leap conv;ctica thit nuclear reactors and nucicar weapons now present a serious danger to the future of all life on this planet. I am convinced that t:tc reactors, the nuclear fuel cyc1c, and uaste storace. : t rem a r.. not nafe, we cannot i provent mc2jor accidents or acta of cabotage. I fear that continued nucicar prolifer::ior w'll quic..ly consume tha limited uranium cupply and fer r us into a plutonium-based fuel econorf with even greater riangers of genetic damage and terrorint or weapons activity. From my, earliest days at Haniord, I have been deeply concerned about the dangers of radioactivi ty. I can still remember my. wife's shock at naving a container for urine sampling placed on our front docentep for the use of our family. I '.tonder now if that polico-s talc atmosphere at !!anford wasn' t an omen for a 1 people for the future. I cannot be a part of c: 1.-dustry that promotes a policy tha t would laa.:ur r :r : c. ima to 00rcur.c 30 ye:ra of nuclear power for our own acifirh purposes and 1 cave behind radioactive wastes that will be a health hazard for thousands of generations to cc:ac. In recent months I have beccmc increasingly dismayed at the industry's opposition to the Nuclear Safeguards Initiative. I have secn the attempts to confuse and whi tewash the issues by claining that there are no unsolvable probicms and appealing to individual's fears for their jobs. The public must be told that there are many probicmn. I am confident that an informed public -- given the truth -- will' decide against continued nuclear proliferation. ~ .-e

~_ 2- ~ I am also sure that there arc others in the industry who share my concerns and I hope my decis' ion will cause them to stop and consider the enorm;us irt.plications and dangers of the nuclear icgacy ve are creating.
