Re: Steampipe explosion near Hartsville at C. P. & L's nuclear plant in April, 1970

Dear Senator Thurmond:

First I want to say that I appreciate your note about our mutual and most capabic friend Sol Blatt, Jr. I represent a Mr. Ralph Newton who sustained about a fifty (50%) percent loss of hearing as a result of a steampipe explosion at the nuclear plant here in Hartsville in April, 1970. The Atomic Energy Commission made a -

thorough, detailed and extensive investigation into the cause of this explosion. Rumor has it, that the explosion resulted from a defective design of the steampipe. The injured employee,- Ralph Newton, is covered under workmen's compensation but to a limited degree as you know. We feel his common law action for a defective design would better compensate him for his loss of hearing which is continuing to increase.

I am wondering if there is any way I may have_ access ,to,the.. report of the At,omi,c, Energy,. Commission.s I am sure that there should be

's'ome method whereby this information would be made available to -

i the public.

Thanking you in advance, I am Yours very truly, SALE Y, SALEEBY & HERRING, P .. A.
