e March 7, 1984 COMMEEJS OF JOHN F. DOHERTY TO BRAIDNOOD STATION DES (DECEMBER 1983)
Ms. Janice A. Stevens Division of Licensing U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Oomaission Washington D. C. 20555 John F. Doherty, of 318 Summit Ave.
Brighton, Mass. 02135, comments as belou on the DES (NUREG-1026),for the Braidwood Station, Units 1 & 2, Docket Nos. STN 50-456,457 COMMENT DOHERTY 1 In Appendix C, at page C-6, the following statement is made "To illustrate: A single model 1000-MWe LWR operating at at an 80% capacity factor for 30 years would be predicted to induce between 3.3 and 5 7 cancer fatalities in 100 yesrs, 5 7 and 17 in 500 years, and 36 and 60 in 1000 years as a result of releases of radon-222."
My concern is that the DES has not comoletely described the fuel cycle impact in Appendix C.
The concern is not impact of the operation of the plant to the general public.
Specifically, the DES should contain a statement of:
a) The range of number of non-fatal cancer injuries induced by fuel cycle radon-222 for providing fuel for the Braidwood Station Units 1 & 2, for its projected cep-acity factor (80%), and licensing period (40 years).
b) The range of number of non-fata? birth. defects induced by fuel cycle radon-222 for providing fuel for the Braidwood Station Units 1 & 2, for its projected cap-acity factor (80%), and licensins period (40 years).
COMMENT DOHERTY 2 On Fage 5-26 of the Statement, it says, "The lower limit of the ran6e would be zero because.there may be biological mechanisms that can repair.damag(The discussion e caused by radiation at low dose and/or dose rates."
is of risk of deaths from cancer due to exposure to plant radioactive materials, etc.). This statement is

2-COMMENTS OF JOHN F. DOHERTY TO BRAIDWOOD STATION DES (DECEMBER 1983) 4 unsupoorted by reference, or documentation, and this Commentor knows but'one item doing this.
The Statement should be altered to include what backs this position.
COM:1ENT DOHERTY 3 The Statement needs to clarify if. in the anal.ysis of environmental impacts'of postulated. accidents any credit was given for Applicant compliance with any of the TMI-related requirements of NUREG-737." Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements".
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
