Dear Sir:

The limited 30 day comment period for review of the AEC f

draft environmental impact statement on the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant has allowed time only for preparation of gen-eral comments.- Our comments will be greatly expanded and pre-i sented'at the hearing to be held following the issuance of the i

final impact statement.

I

\\

The conclusions reached in the statement do not have an adequate foundation.

l The examples to be given below are not to be regarded as i

a specification of our contentions in this matter.

i The statement is deficient in two general ways.

First, sections which cover adequate categories of subject matter do not provide enough discussion on many of the matters specified.

Secondly, many_of the sections are too narrow in the scope of subject matters discussed.

Sections V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X,

)

and XI best typify those sections which are too narrow in scope.

j i

The section on transportation is an example cf incomplete discussion.

There is no discussion on specific transportation routes or times of shipment.

There is no discussion on minimi-l zation of. dose during shipment through operating procedures.

A discussion of transportation accidents with less than " serious injuries" should be. included.

I The narrow scope.is most clearly demonstrated by the section on alternatives.

It is inconceivable that an environmental state-ment on a nuclear plant does not contain a discussion of alterna-

[

tive and more extensive radwaste treatment systems.

' July 3, 1972 Page 2 There is a lack of clarity in some areas, together with incorrect figure and table numbers.

This, no doubt, is an inher-ent draft disease and can easily be cured.

We look forward to a significantly expanded and more meaningful environmental state-ment on the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

Sincer.-
