~.. h3o 3 ear Sirs, January 1,1981 It has come to =y attention that your department conducted a study dated June 2c, 1930 at the McGuire liuclear Station, SECY 20-107, which concluded McGuire's containment area is builMc-nithstand 15 pounds of pressure per square inch.
Since the containment area at Three Mile Island was built to withstand 65 pounds of pressure per square inch, and at the height of the Three I11e incident there was 28, pounds of pressure due to the rapid hydrogen buildup and combustion I have reached the following conclusions.
First, that your agency has conceeded that the safety standards at EcGuire are less than at Three Eile Island, and yet you are allowing the plant to proceed to open.
- Seccndly, that this plant represents a health hazard to myself and my family and everyone in the Charlotte, I;.C. vicinity.
Given these conclusions I feel it reasonable to demand a reopening o f the McGuire licensing hearings.
One does not have to be a nuclear physicist to realize that these " infallible" plants have the potential to breakdown just as Three Mile Island did, and the safety precautions seem to me to be complet'ely inadecuate.
I would very much appreciate a response from you as to how you justify this psychotic situation.
