Dear Ms. Pierce-Bjorklund:

That you for your recent letter with the enclosures and the inquiry regarding the ponible damage from operation of the Seabrook Nuclear power piant. As you are aware there are two sorts of hazards associated with the operation of nuclear plants - the first being routine releases of radioactivity which are permitted by the Nuclear Regulatory Agency under the operating ' license that is granted a plant, the second being an accidental release of a scale not contemplated in the license. -I and my colleagues have, over nearly two decades given much time and study to both of these matters. Of the two we long ago concluded that the second represented far and away the most cerious risk to members of the public. There is nothing that has come to my attention at any point that would lead me to change this view. I think that the risk of sericas accident in the US nuclear program is way, way too high - a conclusion confirmed by NRC estimates. If such an event-occurred at Seabrook the consequences could dwarf anything the region has ever seen in terms of damage. 'And by the region, I mean New England, if not the Northeast. Satisfactory evacuation would be impossible for many who would be at risk. As at-Chernobyl, the radioactive contaminatio's could reach out to great distances. While I and many others deplore the manner in which the NRC has run its, and the nation's, nuclear affair.,, they have done so at least in nominal compliance with the law. I say that because, with a few, occasionally spectacular, exceptions, challenges asserting otherwise have failed. I am sorry to say that I-do not know what to do about this for the NRC seems wholly resistant to beneficial change. Sincerely yours j iN\\'ViO Henry W. Kendall1 fi .}}
