The Honorable Lando W. Zech, Jr.
Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1717 H Street, N.W. -
Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Chairman Zech:
I view the recent accident at Virginia Power's Surry nuclear ,
powerplant which killed four workers and left two others hospitalized both as a tragedy and a sad indicator of a f atal pattern at the Surry nuclear powerplant. Although the accident.
involved non-radioactive steam and water, this accident, like the f atal accident at the Kerr-McGee Sequoyah Fuels f acility last' January, _and like earlier steam accidents at. the Surry facility, demonstrate that the NRC must be mindful of dangers common to industrial processes. This accident is a tragic reminder that the NRC must focus on all facets of nuclear powerplants to ensure that the public health and safety is protected.
It is important that the Subcommittee and the public fully.
understand this tragic accident. Please provide the Subcommittee with the following information. ,
- 1. Provide the Subcommittee with a complete description of ,
the accident. Include in this description a detailed chronology 1 of events and the federal, state and local officials who were l
. contacted and by whom. '
- 2. Please provide an operational history of the Surry facility. Include in this history a chronology of all notices of unusual events and all enforcement actions taken against the facility.
- 3. How many people have been injured onsite at Surry?
Provide the Subcommittee with a list of each accident at the Surry facility where a worker, either an employee or a contractor, has ,
been injured and hospitalized, giving the date of the accident, l the nature of the injury and the cause of the' accident. l 4 4. How many people have died of injuries received onsite at Surry? Provide the Subcommittee with a list of each accident at the Surry facility where a worker, either an employee or a contractor, has been killed, giving the date and cause of the accident.
