We Secretary, Docketing and Service, and h' he Director, c( N U.S. NRC,

%e Conmissioners, US NRC, ff hU Wachington, DC 20555 July 28th, 1997 Re : Docket 50-160 (2.206) and Director Decision, and Docket 50-160 REN and the Georgia Institute of Technology Neely Nuclear Research Reactor.

" Ionizing Radiation damages the genetic raterial in reproductive cells and results in mutations that are transmitted from generation to generation." BEIR V Report, National Academy of Sciences, 1990, p.65 4 I just thought you'd like to know. It's what NRC is meant to be concerned with.

Instead it rovers itself in " legalese", which is why my perfectly correct 2,206

'pWhition was denied.

I expWeted it. Just as I ex15$cted the Comission to decline any review , Mbich is why I didn't write. I found it interesting that the denial came just ahead of Georgia

%ch suddenly deciding they didn't really need it after all. Wey wasted all that money trying to get the liscense renewal - during which part of the process was

%ch lying ? When they were in the middle of singing its praises and stating in their application things like " If the reactor is not relicensed, the quality of education for nuclear engineers and health physicists will be diminished. Research projects will com to a halt. We forward progress of nuclear science technology will bld decreased." And how it was " essential"? Or now when they are going to "de-aasmisJian " At because its underutilized etc.? What are we to telieve ? Why did they want the ASLB Judges to re-license it if they want to de-comission it ? Is it all just a big game ? Or have they finally realized they're the proud owners of a radioactive reactor dump ? A radioactive mess in the middle of a university campus just like I said ,and reckon this is the only way to "save face" ?

If they don't need ite,they also don't taed a Possession Only License. Deny it.

And by the way, their own documents estimated decomissioning costs at $10 Million. I believe it will be more. Wey are going to have to dig up the entire thing, clean up__

the sub-surface soil and the groundwater will need to be pumpWd out,and they need to remove all surface soil contamination on the campus, remove the contaminated sewer line, remove the adjacent building and the co-60 and the pool (part of the license) , and take everything to a National Sacrifice Area as I said.And they are going to have to dig ,

out the famous MUD FLAP it sits on (Jan. 1960 Safeguards Report, Page 80. First and second line of the second paragraphs"The flat tank bottom rests upon concrete footings pnd a MID FLAP.")- just like I said it does.

Was my testimony to the ASLB Judges (20 pages plus approx. 500 pages of support documents) entered under my 2.206 Petition and considered as I had requested ?I had also'sent all that in under my 2.206 as well. And was it all entered under the renewal ,

and 2.714 procoeding as'it was'part of it ? If not,iWhy not ?

am including a letter I wrote months ago but was too disgusted to send.I did n E M71sh it, but added a handwritten note at the end. It is for the docket as well as !

th3 E.206.d ocket part, and service list, as is this letter.

Seventeen years is a long time to fight this dump of a reactor. I did not forget the death of Janet Ime.We fight was also for her, as I said in my testimony to the jud es.

She did not have to die because of this. I have faith one day her murderers will b rought to justice. God is just.- S e reactor will be no more, amn a i 9708140377 970728 "
