Palladino Chairman United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.

20555

Dear Mr. Chairman:

I have received the attached fact sheet, " Notes on the Perry Nuclear Plant" from one of my constituents, Ms. Genevieve Cook.

The document raises what appear to be a number of troubling issues concerning this facility.

Undoubtedly many of these matters are being addressed in the course of the Commission's licensing proceedings for the Perry plant.

I would greatly appreciate the views of the Commission's staff on these matters and any other pertinent information you can provide.

Best regards.

Sincerely,

);

3. Higbvays to and t ros the reactor site are inad-quate for the 10,0n to 15,000 'cd.ft. of

~ low-level radioactive wastes which must be transparted away eaen year. os. site storage ' g vould be cost unsuitable in the Perry area vita its ground vater problems.

1. Construction of the reactors at Fern was nalted several times tectuse of seriously sub-

"e 6 standard workmanssip in safety related areas. Inspection of the worn was found to be h inadequate and unreliable with forged inspector initials on vors ubich had not been in. f spected. Toers is no assurance that the Perry reactors could be o;erated safely without aerious malfunction. No quality assurance. s ). Because of the underground high water table level ( 16 inches below the suriace) Pern a is to use a porous cement blanket and pumping systen instead of stronger foundation valls. The complete system is untried--only psrts of it--and there is the unanswered question N as to vbetber the soft abale under the cesent blanket could erode and block the pores. Failure of the pumping systes could threaten the stan111ty of the reactor building, accortling to NPC engineer, David Ignch. D 6. ne Perry facility is in earthquake area, ubich runs diagonally through the Buffalo

  • g area, Iake F.rie, northern Ohio, and angles down to Missouri. Any quake activity could disrupt the pumping system anti building stability. The Perry site has a rock fissure,

'h whieb has been filled 30 feet across with cement, running diagonally across the entire 'N site from southeast to northwest. The extent of the fissure was unknown at the time it was declarbi to be of glacial origin. A second and different rock fissure is in the floor of the tunnel vbich runs out under Iake y.rie. ^ y T. no Perry utilities have petitioned tbe NBC for per=ission to triple the size of its y spent-fuel storage facilities; Vith no federal program demonstated as feasible for y long-teria storage of spent reactor fuel, ve have no assurance that the Perry spect-fuel assemblies vill ever be moved from the site. Acconting to a Ger:an study tnis past year, a loss of coolant in a spent fuel storage pool, either from disruption of supply or destruction of storage pool valls froa earthquake or settling, could result in a more videspTead accident than a reactor meltdown. The storage pools lack the built-in safety b systems which would pitigate the effects of a serious reactor accident. The inadequat'e Y roads combined with population evacuation efforts would greatly ha=per emergency assist-ance in the area under such circumstances. N h 8. In case of accid'ent utility insurance liability is limited under the Price-Anderson Act g to the grossly inadequate $650 million limit. People in the area are unable to get per-sonal insurance vbich will cover either property damage or benith dastge from radiation exposure. It is very difficult to prove that cancers, leukemia, or birth defects years later have resulted from such radiation exposure. The 20 year statute of limitations .s would further limit efforts to secure fust restitution. People living within a 50 mile - radius of the Perry reactors vould bear most cf the costs of an accident, both physically a and financially. N

9. If the Price-Anderson Act were rescinded, there is no assurance the the, CAIC0 utilities A

could meet the costs of such an accident as that at Three Mile Island without bein6 9 bankrrpted. M . f' 10. ne operating record of American reactors bas been pour, operating an averase o $1%'of the time. q have caused millions of dollars to be spent for replace =ent power, vbich in all instances Q the customers have bad to pay. In addition, maintenance and repair from calfunctions, 4 defective components and design, and defective worke.anship have added'to custe:er costs. k .v.ishaps of these types are amazingly ec. son--totalling 2,e00 and 2,N0 in 1977*.3. Tcese N have resulted in long shu,tdown periods and heavy costs to consumers. S D

11. To date, nuclear utt11 ties have no voy of estiastind the costs of transportatics and ster-age of radionctive vaat-s, lect-term. far do they cave any vay of estimating the eventual q
