~
In W first placo, lot no thank you for your courtosy in considoring my protost on % Indian Point ruling, as a citizon intervonor at the Hoaring, ovon though you had " sono doubt as to whethor (it) preparly con-stitutos an exception under our Rules of Practise." Your toleranco on this point helps to convinco no that the comdssion truly wishos to include h tax-paying citizen in discussiens of this important issuo.
I havo soon a copy of b statement concorring the Montroso incident ah the "Sonato hearings before h Appropriations Coradho," to which you reforf and was surprisod to see that b U.S. Atondo Enorgy Comdssion, with all its.,..voalth of roscarch documentation and talent, had seen fit to turn to a _stato ~aronev -

It is in fact as important as anything facing the citizen and tax-payor today.

'scrious orrors. h mon who now staff tho stato and fodoral agencies naking tho final decisions on atodo siting are going to bo hold porsonally rospensiblo, scorer or hter, for their acts: and b accounting may bo as painful as the results of their occacienc1 nogligenco.

hso tho think the Montroso incident cait bo 31ghtly dismissed, aro sadly mistakon. The pooplo of Montroso'are not forgotting it. Evory raw caso of cancor thoro will add to their fears and to their rosentmont of the prosonce of the Indian Point plant noarry. It is not the first timo that a largo atoric phnt has boon,sitod close to a sizablo popuht ion, as it is in Wostehostor County. It is, & first timo that an abnormal'nur.bor of i

(bcorpt from TrTE TD*E-P"B_ AT TNDTAN POINT a report o-
'h3 Buchanan U.Y. oto.-ic pout,r phnt presented by Mary
.ys Woik in a Limited Apponranet, at the 1966 AEC Hoaring on a Cohstrntion Licenso for Irdian' Point Osnorating Unit II):

?
l Tho offects of the Indian Point plant on the Hudson's water am clearly shown in tho nonthly Rsdionetivity Bunctins of the N Y Stato Hoalth Dopartmont - E of whose 26 1
water monitoring stations aro devoted sololy to checking the offects of. tho Indian l
Point reactor. Thoso EuMetins show Bota' activity in Hudson River water at Pooksk121 ard Ossining, just abovo and bolow tho Inilan Point plant, consistently many tir.os highor, month after month, than at other N Y State water stations.
I In Canada in Novenbor/64 a public uproar was raised when " dangerous lovels" of radio-activity of 10 to 34 pievouries per liter -(po'L) were diesevered in the drinking water supply of the uranium mining corcunity of Eudot 1Ako, Ontario.
Canada, liko pany j
other countrios of the world, rocognitos the " International Comission On Radiological 8
1 Protection s" safety standards of lo, pel for,the gonoral publio.
s j
Yot in Now York City, no public authority has raised its voico in protost whon radio-
)
active-pollution of Hudson Rivor water at Ossining and Pookskill, near tho Indian Point plant, is recorded month after month in IE Stato Health Dept. bullotins at 50, 60, 80, sometimes over 100 poli (Sco table on tonowing page) l Khon attention was caDed to those figuros in a public statement by this Cor=:ittoo, a Consolidated Edison spokosman issued a blankot donial to the in Times (Nov.17/65):
("No Ator.de Peril Found In the Hudson"), crediting the high Beta lovols noar the Ir.dian-i Point plant to " harmless" background radioactivity - Potassium K-40 in the "salino..
infiltration" from tho-Atlantic Ocean at that point. Such " natural" radioactivity, ho assorted, was Many "bonoficial" and added zost to lifo = as when "a person ' salts a steak!"
(,.
Soon aftor, an idos man at a local Radio statian, WMCA, issued a 22-pago report on tho j
basis of the Con-F4 man's statomont on the allogod salirdtyof the Hudson at this point, oisi=ing tnat si.sco "haruloss" Beta activity in sua wator runs 360 pol, "at Indian 4
i Point there is enough (infiltration of) soa water to account for the 50 to-100 pel (reco2dod in IE State Radioactivity BuMotins)."
l Tho only troublo was, his (ani Con-Ed's) s'alin$ty figures did not agroo with the facts.
Tho skopticism of a scientit< at the Wood's Holo (Mass.) Oceanorrachic Institution i
lod to a local chock. It turned out that the " salinity" claimon for tho Pooks)d.11 area by the utility ard radio station was alr.ost 8 timos the actual figure for Pockski.11 -
i reported in U.S. Geological Survoys of this area. Thoso surveys irdicated that salir/_t -/
causod backgrourd activity was responsiblo for only 12.5 pel in the Hudson Rivor natcr 2
at Pockskin (Stardard Brards station), whoro it had boon monitored at 50 to r.oro thre.
100
'1ho records of the N.Y.Stato Radionethity Bunctin show that in Doo/o5 (uhon.c.o-
]
Indian Point reactor was shut down for a-fuel changeover 7 Pockskill-Beta lovols dropped
^
fron tboir usual, high level to 13, pol. The evidence thereforo points.to the Indian Point reactor as an important factor 1.n the Pockskill area's high radioactivity rato.

SUBJECT:
Radioactivity in Air, Milk and Water For July,- September 1969 This is the third quarterly report of 1969 on radioactivity levels in environmental samples taken throughout New York. State.
The gross beta radioactivity levels in air were low and generally c the same_ as.the previous _ raporting period. Two new air sampling stations were started in Oswego and Wayne Counties _near nuclear power plants and the results from these new stations were not significantly different fret the other state air' sampling stations.
Results from, milk samples' remained l low to undetectable throughout-t the state. Three more farms in Wayne County.were added to the
/
network for environmental _ sampling program around the Rochester Gas 8. Electric'nu, clear power plant.
2"* Radioactivity levels _in water remained low throughout the State with the exception of Buttermilk ~and Cattaraugus Creeks downstream from Nuclear Fuel Services. A new' water Sampling, station-was added, the Ontario filter plant in Wayne County.
During this report period, strontium 90 analyses were-ctarted on samples of J
the lower Hudson River above-and below the Consolidated Edison discharge (Standard Brands and-Sino Sing). IThe higher gross beta level for these shmples was caused by the cresence of salt water
/
I-- -
and natural notessiow40.
There were no detectable fission prod '
ucts or corrosion products in th,e water samples-at_these sampling stations.
Some_ water samples were collected from Cattaraugus-Creek at Felton j', Bridge, site 032, instead of*the Springville Dam, site 042, due to
~,
the annual cleaning operation to flush out silt from behind the.
dam.
A grab sample upstream from the dam at Felton Bridge was-collected on September 17.-1969 and. was 915' pCi/1 gross _ beta which was higher than 600 pCi/1 considered to be the al'.owableL limit for j
,.,, gross beta.
A specific isotopic analysis was made on the sample and the concentrations of major isotopes present were determined.-
The sum o.f the-ratios, of the actual concentration to the allowable concentration for each specific isotope, was 0.37.. 'These values and calculations are_ given in thi,s* report at,the. end of the water _
