Testimony from a resident 3 RANCH LIMERICK NUCLEAR PLANT SERVED DEC 6@
Pottstown, Pa. 19464 Gentlemen:
I wish to enter this as my statement AGAINST giving Limerick their operating license.- Please see that it gets entered into their record.
My husband and I sold our home on November 12, 1984 (for much less than it's actual worth) because of it's proximity to the Limerick Nuclear Plant.. We loved our home and intended to live out our years there but the Limerick plant changed all that.
We have been driven from our home - as, I might add, have dozens of other people.
There are people who live so close they cannot sell nor give away their properties! We had no vote on where this nuclear plant was going to be built and Phila. Elec. was just given a green light to put it in our midst.
In our estimation justice has not been served on behalf of the 230,000 citizens in the ten-mide radius.
Also, for the record, I wish to enter my statement as an observer on the July 25, 1984 test drill for North Coventry Township, Chester County,-Pa.
- 1. Philadelphia Elec./Bechtel Corp employees made up the bulk of the " volunteers" at the scene. They were being paid overtime premium g take part (I inquired and was told that "yes, we are being paid overtime otherwise we would not be here").
What will happen when these people are transferred out of the area? Will our townships be fully staffed? I think not.
Mr, Luther Guest, our co-ordinator, seemed willing to learn from the FEMA and PEMA men stationed there during the drill'and he is a lifelong resident of our township and has done much for the community, however, he has had several heart attacks and I am wondering as to the s*. ate of his health should a disaster occur since he would be in charge and certainly the FEMA and PEMA people will not be at his side then?
- 2. There was a shortage of dosimeters and the people did not seem to understand how to read the ones they did have.
3.'There is a shortage of buses and drivers to evacuate the Owen J. Roberts School District and the nursing homes in the area.

- 4. The general population of the. ten-mile radius do not know their evacuation route.
The " volunteers" who were there with maps did not know their route.
- 5. The call for evacuation was received'1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after the governor declared an emergency.
- 6. Montgomery County sirens (just across the river but within hearing distance) went.off 15 minutes after the Chester County sirens sounded to evacuate.
v These are just a few of the observations made my an average citizen who is concerned about the ability of our officials to safely evacuate the area and I have come to the conclusion that THERE IS NO SAFE EVACUATION PLAN FOR LIMERICK.
I don't care how many plans Philadelphia Electric has drawn up by their consulting firm fori the townships / boro's THERE IS NO SAFE EVACUATION PLAN FOR LIMERICK and if you would ' 4 take the time to really inspect and visit the area I am sure you would also agree.
The citizens / rate payers of Phila. Elec. are being ripped off in the most gigantic scheme since Bechtel Corp. was founded and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission should wake up before it's too late for all of us - or are we all merely " expendable"?
That is how we feel at this point because they are loading fuel for low power testing with no evacuation plan adopted prior to testing.
Sincerely, M
A-
