. Gentlemen:
Many of us'in the Midland areaLare concerned about the'-
materialsEwhich are to be used in the nuclear plant here._
Since the fall of 1970 when they were delivered, the. metal.
. parts for~the-Midland. plant have been left uncoated,
. uncovered and~ unprotected in a field adjacent to the chlorine-caustic soda production unit of. the - Dow ~ Chemical-Company.
.The atmosphere in much of'the Midland area is corrosive because of effluents from Dow. -Some of these effluents come r
from. the. c'hlorine-caustic soda production unit, which-vents gases, including halogens, into the air as well as from other production units in the area.
Behind the metal parts shown infthe photographs,_there are between.o'ne and two acres of. rusty metal components for the. nuclear? plant.- Unfortunately it is impossible for Dow employees;or the. general public:to photograph more of the
" mothballed" equipment.
Plant protection personnel.at Dow-take all; film from anyone found with a camera in the area.
T We recognizeLthe need for high quality materials,
.properlyihandldd, in nuclear plant construction to protect.
the-safety of the public.- We believe Consumers Power Company and"Bechtel must be required to meet quality control standards which will.mean. junking the corroded equipment.
Furthermore, Ewe-believe the' loss', which may amount to several million idollars,.should;be subtracted from company profits and should-not;be' passed on to? electrical ratepayers.
i Very truly-yours, Donald Smith, Chairman 0
