s is a genuine issue to be heard. ,

1. The N2PA balancing of costs and benefits cust ha al:erec by health effects considerations, because the NRC modelo [

used to calculate potential so=stic effects (cancer) and 4

2. Health risks to present day populations from cancer and to ruture generations frc genet,c . errects associatec witn i

I' normal operations (Appendix I levels) of large LWRs in

occurring events.
