Feb. 78, 1970 p.p Mr. Paul Tompkins W
Executivo Director in N T D Federal Radiation Council O
l Washingt on, D.C.
- , (.
Dear Mr. Tompkins,
Thank you for your answer to my nuestions concerning our safety in-living so very close to the disnersal tower of.
the Cooper Nuclear Power Plant of Brownville, Nebraska.
I've f ollowed -this thing f or several months, from the local t o state government - Contumer's Public Power - The AEC -
Environmental Inf ormation of St.. Louis - Harold Hughes, federal level -- University of California - etc. -etc. This will be my -last lo-tr, You 'ond uo on top of this to' tem pole.
You know and I know that the antire nuclear reactor orogram is. based-upon benefits vs. risks ".- This was evident when a
.1 I read the Staf f -Report til of the Federal Radiation Council.
i We~ also know that only an idiot would live 1500 feet under e
[
-the tower,
..V 8
Now it has besn charged-that the risk element is much larger
'that_anyone expected.
Included in this risk element seems a certainty. of - genetic consecuenses-that, like the top of en iceberg, we may be seeing but a part of.
Small accidents are showing up all.over the United States, y
'in'regards to these reactors - what haopens when the big accident-comes ?.
-%.,.g.g You could'stop this madness, you could recommend tha.t thej(,.y-i-
radioactive --output of these plants be red,uced -considerably
.,v e rw
).
Who gives you the right to make gunia pigs out of all of us?
