7 g[f/jg7j December 20, 1991 Ivan Selin, Chairman Nuclear Regulatory Commission One White Flint North l
Washington, DC 20555 Dear Mr. Selin I want to take this opportunity to inform you of my-. dissatisfaction with the--
handling of a recent nuclear fuel accident that occurred on Interstate 91-in Springfield,-Massachusetts on December 16,.1991.
This accident involved a shipment of 11,000 pounds of nuclear reactor' fuel bound for the Vermont Yankee-Nuclear Power Plant.
I am completely outraged and insulted that, after the clean-up efforts were completed,-federal, state and local officials made a decision :without my. input, to store this fuel at Westover Air Force Base here in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
I was informed at approximately 3:30'p.m. on December 16,-1991, by the Mayor of Springfield, Massachusetts, Mary Hurley, that Westover AFB had been chosen:and the trucks carrying-the nuclear fuel were-en route to our city.
You can well imagine that this late notification did not allow for a proper timetable for our city's public safety task force to prepare for such a dangerous situation. The transportation of these hazardous materials;through the city streets at such a busy time of the : afternoon-put: a large number of Chicopee residents in a very dangeroun. position.
At this-time. I ask that this matter be completely reviewed. -Commu" n. ion on this clean-up effort was non-existent.as far as I am concerned, and it is my hope that this situation be addressed-so that.any similar problem which may occur in the future be handled in a better and safer manner.
I I thank you for your time, and look forward to receiving your response.
Should
.yo ny furt uestions regarding this matter,'please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
/
