P.O. Box 12423, Albany, N.Y. 12212 (518) 765-2223 HERBERT JAFFE 57 EUNOR PLACE PREEPORT, N.Y.11520 NEWSDAY. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1,10a3 Why Evacuation Won't Werk Both LI140 and the editors of Newsday have shown on consecutive days ("LIIf0's Do It Ourselves.

"~

Evacuation Plan," May 19, and "Suffolk's Circular Ar-i gument Against Shoreham," May 20] that they are un-able to grasp even the most fimrlamental reasons as to why an evacuation plan for Shoreham will not provide for the public safety.

Studies show that when an evacuation of Shoreham is called for, nearly half the population ofIong Island {

will attempt to flee. It will not matter if the evacuation I

called is for a 1 mile,10 mile or 20. mile sone. In fact, at Three Mile Island, when an evacuation asseting only !'

2,800 people wa' announced, more than 140,000 people 8

left their homes. In Suffolk County alone, some 600,000 people will attempt to flee when an evacuation is an-nounced. When that number of people on Suf-folk's roads, traf5c will come to a and the total time to evacuate is estunated at 14 to 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

Half the cars will run out of gas in only 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />.

It's during the 14 to 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> needed to evacuate that a

the radiation release which may come from Shoreham will pass over the heads of those Gaeing, upon !

wind direction. It is that exposure to tion which 4 eroerta heve estimetad can esuse 1.800 ear., deaths and a 7.000 atent cases of <*nr=r in the nonnation.

I Thus it matters not whether it is Busolk County

  • vernment, LI140's work force or the entire editorial 8 of Newsday that in out there directing traf5c, s towing disabled cars and lending medical assistance. It I will still take 14 to 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> to evacuad.'the radiation

~

plume, if released, will stiu pass overhead. And the e

health consequences to the public will still take place.

That is why it is impossible to have an evacuation plan for Shortham which the lie. And that is why virtually every e amna in Suffolk County government the opening of Shoreham.
