Mr. L. Manning Funtzing Director of Regulation U. S. Atomic Energy Commiscion Washington, D. C. 20545
Dear Mr. Muntaing:
An AEC news release on October 5,1973' states that you sent a letter that day to the Public Service Electric and Gas Company of New Jersey concerning the AEC staff's conclusion that the location for two proposed nuclear power plants should be moved from Newbold Island south of Trenton, N.J., to Artificial Island in Salem County, N.J., for the principal reason that the population density in the Newbold Island area is si6nificantly higher than at Artificial Island.
Please send me a written explanation in terms under-standable by a layman as to the hasard the AEC staff sees for the 4,500,000 Persons who will be livin5 within a 30-mile radius of Newbold Island to which it is willing to expose the 1,000,000 persons who will be living within a similar radius of Artificial Island, and also the hasard
' the Ahc staff sees for the 125,000 persons who will be r
livin6 within 5 miles' distance of Newbold Island to which 1
it is willing to expose the 4,700 persons who will be j
living within that distance of Artificial Island.
L i
As indicated by the foregoing, I have great difficulty in understanding why 4,700 (or 1,000,000) Americans should i
be exposed to a hasard to which you would not subject 125,000 (or 4,500,000) other Americans, and why the AEC wants the power plants located somewhere else if there really is no hasard at Newbold Island.
i Sincerely, p,
t$fb/w" Walter L. Baumann s
