AWPP(Romano) re the July 26, 1985 Anpeal By R.L. Anthony /F0E to the Commission from the Issuing of 8 Exemptions f rom Certain Regulations alleging no significant impact and denial of an Environmental Impact Statement (By Novak, NRC Division of Licensing.. 6/27/85) l AWPP (Romano) appeals to the Commission against " exemptions from certain requirements of 10CFR Part 50" to PECo for Limerick Unit 1 by the NRC Division of licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, on 6/27/85 AWPP also appeals NRC's finding and conclusion which determined an environmental impact statement for the requested exemptions was not to be made stating the requested actions will nc hnve a significant effect on the quality of the h2 man environment.

AWPP seeks that the Commission revokes the actions of the Division of Licensing re the 8 exemptions and NRC's conclusion re impact on the human environment. AWPP petitions the Commission require an environmental impact statement. The NRC's action appears to have more cencern for the applicant's financial problems than the public safety.

The NRC states that there is no increased risk to the public from radioactive releases.

However, Radon, gross Alpha in homes and drinking water in the Pottstown-Reading area when added to routine releases from Limerike augments Limerick's risk.

Both the Applicant and the NRC know asbestos and Vinyl chloride will be released from the cooling tower and into the river, but when AWPP/ Romano detailed this hazard, it was sumairly thrown out by Judge Brenner.

Rather than grant the eight exemptions to already specified rulingt to the NRC, Asbestos gnd vinyl chloride in tower moisture relessed and river releases musti be addressed.

Respectfully submitted, LLUTIO,N PATROL AIR' A
