,A C0!!TBITIOliS TO A!EliDFalT 5 of the SH!!PP E1IVIR0li:CI!TAL REPORT (Rec 'd. Jan. 2h,1982, at ny home.)
Carolina Power & Light Company
& !! orth Camlina Municipal Power Agency 1;o. 3
'83 3114 40:27 (Shearon Harric !!uclear Power Plant, Docket Ilos. 50-h00 OL Units 1 and 2) 50-hol OL
.R w,e knendment lio. 5, g: "There is no significant reduction of regional products due to the operation of SHI!PP."
This statement is inadequate for the following reasons:
- 1. The word "significant" is too vague to be useful. What does this mean in actual dollars?
- 2. This statement does not cpeak to the p-oblem of " biological anplification," a process by dich radioactive elenents are concentrated in the food chain.
Statement 5, i (" Lost Income of Connercial Fishesrien") likewise underestinates the effect of biological anplification on fish and shellfish, which eat organicns which could be contaminated uithin fifty miles of the SHNFP site.
- 3. This state-ent assunes that all the radiation released into the air from the plant will fall, settle, o-b6 taken up in an area around the plant site.
The experience at Three Mile Island p'!ns new studies about radiation damage (i.e., recent study done for liRC by Sandia liational Labs reported in Critical IIass, December, 1982) illustrate convincingly that radiation contanination can be videspread.
Therefore, it is poccible that " regional products,"cuch as nilk, vegetabics, and grainn grown for animal feed, over a broad area conld be reduced because of the operation of the SHIIPP. I think this report, to be useful and credible, should give the exact numbers pf dairy farm, vegetable, grain, etc. acres there are withMive, ten, fifteen, etc. miles of the plant andK6Yruch ncncy vould be lost by varying " reductions" caused by radiation released from the plant.
Anendment lio. 5, k and 1: Cocts to local governments and taxpayers:
These ctatements are inadequate because they do no'. coal uith the costs currounding connunities uill have to pay to orotect themselves frcn the unknown and unknouable dang'rc resulting from their proxirity to the SENPr.
Cocts fer co uniticc outside the ten-nile energency Ireparedness zone uill accrue for the follouing: uarning cirens, an independent monitoring cysten, shelter citer, facilitier fc curvival in the shelters, a co nunity o a:
ooo education progran, training of policanen and firenen to deal with radiation Co"-
dangers, and, in cone carec, evacuation 'eccts.
Even if none cf these is ever used, there will be costs for sdety precautions -&ich uill be alnost og the cane ac if the precautiens u"re actually nut inte use.
In North o
Ca-olina, the state officials uith when I have diccucced these costs tell M
ne that safety costs uill be borne by c unti"c cnd cerr uniticc, not by the Q
state.
I think that there cnentents to the 7 chould cpell out these cafety costs which rill acc:uc to those covernments and tc:g:yers uho do g
rot want to be without sirenc, chelters, nonitorc, and co cn.
)p c)n.o Fin 111y, I %1d add that health costr r:ust be fi7 red in the ecst-benefit ratio if these ctatenents are to be taken sericuc13 hv the nublic.
