Dear Chairman Ahearne:
During the last two days I have had the oppertunity to examine the Enviromental Assessment prepared by the NRO Staff that reccomends venting Krypton-85 into the enviroment at Three Mile Island. According to this document it appesrs the NRC Staff has decided that it is in the best interest of my children and myself to be exposed to,"the greatest public in-pact in terms of public dose", of any of the alternatives con-sidered. The Staff believes this exposure is more ber eficial than,"... the impact of one or more smaller releasee while storing the Kr-85 for 1-1/2 years or more for subsequent low-impact processing..." However, the Staff adds that venting
? 'does not producethe," negative effect of precluding significant work inside the building during this period." In effect, the I Staff is reccomending that my family bear the maximum exposure levels of any alternative considered, in exchange for avoiding possible exposures latter. The trade-of f does, however, produce a bonus for Met. Ed. - cheap access to the reactor building.
I'm sorry, but I do not believn its a fair deal. This proposal requires my family to bear the maximum exposure of any alternative considered. Under this alternative there is a surety that we will be exposed, not a possibility of exposure to small accidental releases. If venting occurs, I have no reasonable alternative but moving my family out of the area.
Finding alternative housing will be a financial hardship. liv-ing apart for the sixty days of venting will disrupt our family relationship. Removing my son from school will create serious difficulties.
Please disapprove the planned venting. Our family has already been seperated by the initial accident, we do not believe we should be forced from our home again so that Met.
Ed. can have a cheap method of disposing of its Krypton-85.
Sin er y,
