ACCIDENT AT SHOREHAM: IF YOU'RE AFRAID YOU MAY NOT GET OUT, SPEAK OUT Scott Fowler T'd m, ~

( Emergency Planning could be Shoreham's downfall.

im Kha.scr It Seems obvious that Long Island is no place for a Wm WI nuclear power plant. It's densely populated, has a

% .umn

') fragile, underground water supply, and, can be evacuated in one direction only.

%, %,o, We've probably all had a Shoreham nightmare something Nn nmW like this one:

Of Cournel 7,, w mi % On a_ late weekday afternoon in winter, an unexpected Mernber croups snowstorm hits. The expressway is crowded and home -

m coming traffic crawls. News comes - through sirens c m m d o w n .e.u euut and emergency broadcasts - that there's been a F=b d

• fd serious accident at Shoreham. There's an order y[][ (($ to evacuate. How would you reach your family Hen Rw Shv and escape to safety? How many lives would be u F.,mk ce sa er "**U

.u.nm. Envimm.-,u c ie u g Suffolk County's Emergency Planning experts say 1,600 emrnnrnmul cand would die soon after the accident, with as many as 7,000 c.uten,,,D,$$ cancer deaths in later years.

s rcac<nah Haec I" '"gh",'rY But, if the accident were the worst possible, the NRO's i ssc and souM most recent study (Sandia Labs, 1981) predicts that early l We Erww Altenue fatalities alone Snmce for the People would be 40,000.
