Subject:

MYAPC cleanup standards - July 20 meeting Thank you for your July 6 email.' Due to a death in the family and recent -

-' funeral, I haven't been working in my office as much as I usually doc

I would just like to ask several questions about the July 20th meeting .

pertaining to cleanup standards at the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company

( (MYAPC) power station: how can any cleanup standard, no matter what it is,

-- be verified when we have 27 years of lies, evasions and misinformation,'all .

of which result in a near total lack of documentation of the source term of MYAPC operations as one long small nuclear accident-in-progress? . 'I e

i have spent over two decades writing on this subject and now push comes to j

. shove and all involved including Friends of the Cover-up,- Kris Ferazza, the : i Postland Press Herald, MPBN and other media and environmentalists jo!n in

~.the continuation of this ritual of aversion by debating site release

- criteria standards (or reporting the debate, but not the truth) that can ,

never be verified.: Most everyone seems happy to participate in this  !

-1 debate, which is in essence a perpetuation of the failure to accurately.

. document the environmental impact of MYAPC operations using time honored and Chernobyl-validated monitoring techniques such as field surveys using

- grids and laboratory spectroanalyses. So now everyone's going to lobby for '

low site release criteria which can never be verified? Why? Why is i 1

everyone so willing to participate in the evasions of MYAPC - MPBN - NRC -

f.etc.?j Site cleanup standards discussion? Horseshit! This Community

' ~

. Advisory Panel (CAP) sponsored meeting, like all CAP activities,

.. perpetuates the lies and evasions of the MYAPC legacy.
