May 13,1999 Mr. Darl Hood Reactor Project Manager, Nine Mile Point Units 1 & 2 ~ - US Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Dear Mr. Hood,

Following is a final copy of an Open Letter to Central New York we are presenting with our proposals regarding Nine Mile One's core shroud inspection during the refueling outage which began on April 11. At the end is an up-to-date list of the people and organizations who have signed onto it so far. We are aise circulating a petition, also included in this fax. Included are copies of the petition, which has been signed by over 200 people thus far. The public of Central New York is very concerned about the safety of Nine Mile One. Syracuse Anti-Nuclear Effort, Syracuse Peace Council, and Citizens Awareness Network believe that a public review of the most recent inspection data and the proposed repair to the core shroud is necessary before the end of the current refueling outage, both to ensure public confidence in the regulatory process and to address the concerns of the surrounding communities. Please publish these documents in the Public Document Room and on the NRC web site, i-Also, per our conversation this moming, I would like to request some information on Niagara Mohawk's proposed j repair to the Nine Mile One core shroud vertical welds 9 and 10. Please fax me information on the estimated ganuna r ray and neutron flux through the holes being drilled through the core shroud on either side of venical welds 9 and 10.  ! Also, please fax me information on the dimensions of the holes and the thickness of the pins being place through them to attach the bracing plates to the core shroud. Finally, please fax information on the IGSCC susceptability of the steel of which the plates and pins are made. Our fax number is (315) 472-7923. Thank for your time and attention to this matter.

1 An Open Letter to Central N w Wrk cn the Nine Mile One Nuclear React:r .

                                                                                                                                         )

April 9,1999 4 To the People of Central New York, The public has a right to know and review the results of inspection findings regarding Nine Mile One's aging atomic core before the reactor is allowed to res: art. l On Sunday, April 11, the Nine Mile One (NM1) nuclear reactor near Oswego will shut down for refueling and an inspection. NMI is especially controversial now because it is aging, metal components are becoming brittle, and  ; I safety levels are known to be decreasing. In particular, extensive cracking in the plant's core shroud makes it the " worst i case of cracking in the nuclear industry," according to Dave Lochbaum of the Union of Concerned Scientists. NRC acknowledges the extent of cracking in NMI's core shroud could lead to a meltdown accident if the weakened shroud fi shifts position. Despite their stated aim to protect the public interest, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) actions on the NMI core shroud have avoided true public accountability and withheld crucial information about the condition of the core shroud and the reactor's current level of safety. When NMI shuts down for refueling next week, Niagara Mohawk will also conduct an inspection of the core shroud. This inspection was originally scheduled for last fall, but was postponed by NRC when NiMo submitted studies which  !

 ' they said showed the rate of cracking was slower than expected. However, the Union of Concerned Scientists analyzed the studies after they were submitted and recommended against postponing inspection because of flaws in their methodology and insufficient evidence that safety would not be compromised. In December and again in March, l

nuclear physicist Steven Penn also detailed basic errors in NiMo and NRC documents, including data that was dropped from the study, mathematical errors, and bad scientific procedure. His letters raise questions about the integrity of NRC and NiMo's conclusions about the extent and cause of the cracks. Yet four months later, NRC has only begun to look Dr. Penn's first letter and, although the letters are being treated as allegations, NRC has made no commitment to dealing with either of them before this spring's inspection. NRC has also disregarded the local community's requests for increased caution and attention to safety. In September, over 100 people turned out for a public meeting with NRC to review NiMa's request to put offinspection. Every person who spoke opposed the postponement, and NRC was unable to answer basic questions about the condition of the shroud and the safety of the reactor. In one instance, while NRC and NiMo acknowledged that cracks in the core shroud were extending outside the regions that were inspected, they had no idea how far outside and no good explana-tion for why the cracking was different from what they expected. After Dr. Penn's first letter was submitted, over a dozen groups submitted a petition to NRC calling for a meeting to review issues of negligence in NiMo's handling of the core shroud. The NRC later rejected it, citing the previous public meeting as ample opportunity for local residents' concerns to be heard - despite their inability to answer people's questions at that time. There are at least two significant problems with NiMo's plan for this spring's inspection: NiMo does not plan to inspect the unexpected cracks outside of welds in the core shroud, and it does not include informing the public of the results before the plant is allowed to restart. It is time for NRC and Niagara Mohawk to respect Central New Yorkers' right to know about issues that vitally affect our health and safety. If we are to have confidence in the federal regulators who are supposed to protect our interests, they have to earn it by demonstrating that our concerns are truly a priority and by making the decision-making process transparent and accessible to the public. This must start with the aug- J; mented inspection of NMI's core shroud. h The undersigned groups, officials, and residents call upon NRC: . l (1) to augment Niagara Mohawks

  • inspection plan to include areas outside the core shroud welds; and ,

o (2) to publically disclose the results of the core shroud inspection public at least one week before NMI's scheduled restart date. This will allow time for a public review and response before the reistor's proposed operation resumes. j 1 If you support these proposals, please contact Syracuse Anti-Nuclear Effon at the Syracuse Peace Council (315-472- I 5478) and urge NRC to accept these requests by calling or writing to Darl Hood, NRC Project Manager for NMI (1-800-368-5642), Mail Stop 14-B-2, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, One White Flint North,11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852. a

On Sunday, April 11, the Nine Mile Point Unit One (NM1) nuclear reactor near Oswego will shut down for refueling and an inspection. NM i is an aging reactor, metal components are becoming brittle, and safety levels are known to be decreasing. In particular, extensive cracking in the plant's core shroud makes it the " worst case of cracking in the nuclear industry," according to Dave Lochbaum of the Union of Concerned Scientists. There are at least two significant problems with Niagara Mohawk's plan for this spring's inspection of the Nine Mile Point Unit One core shroud: Niagara Mohawk does not plan to inspect cracks outside of welds in the core shrcud, and it does not include informing the public of the results before the plant is allowed to restart. Therefore, the undersigned call upon the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission:

(1) to augment Niagara Mohawks' inspection plan to include scans of the plates in areas outside core shroud welds %9 and V 10; and (2) to publicly disclose the results of the core shroud inspection at least one week before NMI's scheduled restart date. This will allow time for a public review and response before the reactor's proposed operation resumes.
