Deer Mr. Rogers.

Thank you fer your letters, you have been most courteous.

i I am reading the "rinvironmental Surveillance Program" sampling I

and shipping scht.dules from the ft. Calhoun Station in Nebraska.

I assume Cooper's program will be similar.

a Radioactive iodine is what you are tr.mpling for in milk, isn't l

it ?

Just how much iocine will be left in the milk after holding it and then shipping it to California 7 This is a joke, plcese - you couldn't be serious.

1 This type of casuol monitoring will be absolutely unocceptable to me.

This is out and out public health irrenponsibility.

I Discarcing " estimated relenses", "denign opecifications", "an leu as practicable" - where does Cooper stop in millirem level f

to protuct the people in her vicinity?

I thought the legal linit was 500mrems / yr - at the boundaries of Cooper, but thic isn't necessarily true, is it.7 Can you explain to me, without those confusing termn, anL without saying that Cooper will operate better than a Dresden 1, exactly the legal situation 7 sincercly,

~//J%. l ud c-Mrs. JEff Eroady from Paul Tompkins, head of the FRC "We are not interested in the absolute safety of those who live in the vicinity of the reactor l'

plants, rather their relative safety."

I have his letter.
