Dear Chairman Selin:
It has come to our attention that contaminated water from the Fermi 2 nuclear power plant in Newport, MI, may soon be discharged into Lake Eric.
While we understand that the NRC has verifted that the proposed discharge is below NRC radiation exposure limits, we want to ensure that there will be no adverse impacts on the heahh of Ohioans and their environment.
We understand that the Detroit Edison Co. has agreed to delay the planned release of the contaminated water, and that a public meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, February 23, to detennine any unresolved questions surrounding the discharge. We expect that the NRC will be present at this meeting to ensure all applicable standards and procedures are followed.
In the event that the release of the contaminated water moves forward, we expect the NRC to monitor each discharge as it happens to ensure the discharge remains below hannful levels. Therefore, we would like you to assure us and the citizens of Ohio that an adequate detemtination has been made that these discharges pose no risk to environmental health and safety around Lake Erie.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
Sincerely, f
