f AUGUST 15, 1978 LETTER FROM MESSRS. NADER, POLLOCK AND BANCROFT CONCERNING SHIPMENTS OF HIGH ENRICHED URANIUM THROUGH CHICAGO'S O'HARE AIRPORT

Purpose:

To obtain Commission approval *Nader, Pollock and Bancroft. of proposed response to Messrs.

Discussion: Background On January 16, 1978, Ralph Nader, Richard Pollock and Michael Bancroft signed a joint letter to Chainnan Hendrie and Mayor of high enriched uranium shipments through Chicago's O'Hare Bilandic of Chicago expressing their views on a proposed study airport (Enclosure A).

On March 9, 1978, while the Commission was still deliberating on a response to the incoming letter, a copy of NUREG-0170, Final Environmental Statement on Transportation of Radioactive Materials by Air and Other Modes, was sent to Mr. Pollock, one of the respondents (Enclosure BJ.

On July 24, 1978, the Chairman wrote to Messrs. Nader, Pollock and Bancroft responding to their letter of January 16, 1978 (Enclosure C).

On August 15, 1978, Messrs. Nader, Pollock and Bancroft wrote to the Chainnan again, stating that they considered NRC's July 24, 1978 response to be inadequate and a misrepresentation of the facts. Their four-page letter contained numerous questions CONTACT: bert A. Erickson, SG/NMSS 427-4018

about NRC actions relative to shipments of high enriched uranium through O'Hare Airport. It c l osed with a reconmendation that NRC prepare a generic environmental impact statement and ban the shipment of hi gh enriched uranium from all civilian airports until the environmen tal stat em ent is complete (E nclosure D).

Proposed Response to Messrs. Nader, Pollock and Bancroft The incoming l etter of August 15, 1978 reflects lack of infor appropriate for the Conmission to lay these all out in a clear mation concerning facts and events. Accordingly, it seems documented response. Since misconceptions about th is matter may be fairly widespread, it mi ght be helpful to provide copies of the NRC response to other interested parties. Enclosure E is a draft response to Messrs. Nader, Pollock and Bancroft.

Enclosure Fis a draft letter t o transmit a copy of the response to Mayor Bilandic. NRC's Office of Congressional Affairs could provide copies of Enclosure F to the following interested members of Congress:

Senator John Glenn Senator Charles H. Percy Senator Adlai E. Stevenson, III Representative Abner J. Mikva Representative Dan Rostenkowski Reconmendation: Approval of draft letters (E nc losures E and F).

Coordination: The Offices of Standards Development, Congressional Affairs and Public Affairs concur in reconmendations of this paper. The Office of Inspection and Enforcement has reviewed the paper and has no objections. The Executive Legal Director has no legal objections.

near Mr. Mayor:

We are vriting to express our vievs on the* scope and subs~ance or the joint study. anno~ced on December 2, 1977, regarding t~e. shipment o~ highly-~nriched

".!rani~~ through Chicago'~ O'Hare International Ai:::-oort. We welcome this stud.,v, but urge ycu to assure that there is a systematic se~~ch for the best sclution to this transportation probla~ and that there is opportunity for presentation of public vievs on this important issue affect~ng all air travelers and residents or urban areas. It is our position that hishly-enriched uraniu.~ s~ould not be shipped through civil airports, but only via secure military air fields.

Chicatoans experienced a rude awa.w:eni:ig on Nove:nber 27, 1977.,. vhen they learne, through the news media that large quantities of highly-enriched ure.niu=. have LJeen routinely shipped through O'Hare for over tvo years. As you ar~ Jell a~are, this material is the main ingredient for nuclear weapon d~Yices. Techn~~al experts in the field of nuclear ams control agree that such weapons can be ~anu~actured

'\\dth the support of modest facilities, elementary technical skills ~d,...ith only a small traction of some of the shipments of radioactive material vhich have been sent *through Chicago. Chica~o inherited these ship:nents after Nev York City :pruden*

banned the tran~port of most radioactive material through its ~etropolltan nr ea two years ago. Althou~h the ?Iuclear Regulatory Cc1T!'Xlission D.l)provl!d the transfer or these shipments from Uev York to the nation's biggest airport in Chica.go, it is indeed shocking that neither the people of Chicagn nor city or state officials ver~ ever consulted.

The environmental and social consequences of thP.se urani um shi:i;:?:?ents are po tentially s~~rero..A!::scci:l.ted vith s1.,c!l s'hip!:lents ere tangible a.d~erse ef'!'e=ts* to the hU!!la.'1. environment.

vhich could also neGatively depress prope1*ty values. The fears recently-aroi;sed by ne~-rs media disclosures of the shipments vere allayed six days l.ater only 1*hen a temporary suspension o-f the shipments from O'Hare pending your present stu(y was announced.

We therefore consider that the he~~"Y' risks as so ciated with these urani1r.

This is a situation where NEPA's requirement of' a comprehensive analysis of' the environmentai conse~uences of a proposal a."ld its alterr.atives can best be met by preparation of a generic e~viron mental i:r.ipact statement. But such a comprehensive underta.'lting can be. d.on.e i:i the context of the study already U."lderway by the NRC and the Illinois of"ficials. The main iss~es to be considered are the type 0f airport utilized, its location.rt.th respect to large population centers, a.r..d t!,e safeguarding arrar.genents ( incl.iding prevention of accident or the:rt and the plans for response to an e~ergency). The environ.~ental issues stould be addressed :for the generic issue of' air transport of' highl:r-enriched uranium.

It ~ould be a r,reat waste of time if your proposed study did not do justice t~ the issues raised in other ~irports throughout the country and did not satisfy the minimal obligations iriposed by N'E?A. What should be avoided is a study which merely describes the present security urre.ng~~ents at O'Ha~e and some of the shortcominE;s of that system, rr.:comr.ends some beefing up o'f security, and offers assurances on the basis or expert testimony that all will be well.

First a nd foremost, there must be a comprehensive analysis of all the antic ipated environmental consequences of air transport from civil airports as co~pared vi.th the 3.vailable ~lternatives. s~ccndly, there should be public*hearings and corrment to assure the.t the significant issues are raised and that there is opportunity for the expression and consideration of a vi.de range or vievs.

We understand that the i 'nterim su~pension applies only to Chicago, and that rerouting of the shipments to other urban airports is therefore to be e:q,ected

{but not announced). We strongly urge you to prevent this. In addition to,riolating MEPA, it would benefit no one to transfer Chicago's unpleasant hazard onto still yet another unsuspecting city. Nuclear trbllsport::..tion should not be a runaway industry, but must stand and face the public. The transportation proble!!l. has long been festering, with slov and grudging improvements in safety and safeguards. A.~

the olQ or

On July 24 we received your reply to these recommendations. We find the -
response to be inadequate and a misrepresentation of the facts. Neither the citi- ~
zens of Chicago, nor citizens who use corrmercial airports can derive much satisfac several new and disturbing questions ab~ut NRC's cormnitment to safeguard the lives tion or reassurance from your reply. Rather. the July 24 correspondence raises and property of air travellers and of those who reside near commercial a irports.
we observed that a GEIS could be drafted by the NRC/Illinois study group which First, on the subject of a generic environmental impact statement (GEIS),
~RC announced would be assembled in early December, 1977. The group w~s charged with the respons ib ility to investigate thP. shipment of HEU out of O' Hare. It was stated i n December that until the group released its findings a11 HE U sh i pments wouid be suspended. This group was supposed to be comprised of representatives from the Mayor of Chicago, the state Attorney General, Senator Adlai Stevenson, Senator Charle Percy, the state health service, Rep. Dan Rostenkowsk; and th e NRC.
r.eglected to mention that the Con1ilission quietly dissolved the NRC/Illinois study In your response to us, you rejected the need for a GEIS. But your letter also group earlier this year. According to all of the parties originally invited to participate tn the study group, not a single m:aeting was convened to examine the i mp~rtant safety issues raised by activit,y. The NRC has not assembled another group to investigate this area.

who sits on the Task Force, noted in the July 25 public session that the City of Chicdgo was discouraged from participating because the scope of review would be of very limited use for the O'Hare case. There was no Chic_ago representative at the public session who addressed the Task Force. The Ad Hoc Task Force was tenninated on July 25 when its ass _ignment was completed.
Finally, your office suggested that we review and comment on an already completed EIS on the transportation of radioactive materials, designated NUREG 0170.
This Statement devotes two pa~agraphs describing airport security regulations. It does not even come close to a comprehensive analysis of all the anticipated environ mental consequences of HEU air transport from civil airports.
ln fa.ct, NUREG 0170 erroneously states that "the only air shipments currently being made or projecte'1 through 1978 are imports and exports at O'Hare airport." It *;s ludicrous to consider that this outdated study is comparable to the thorough review of airport facilities that was promised in December.

Burnett, simply advised private HEU handlers that they "carefully coordinate any such shiprrients with the Chicago Department of Health.u Thers was no mention that a suspension was in force pending a study.

concerned citizens everywhere, and particularly in Chicago, who expect federal In our estimation, responses similar to the July 24 lettar are an affront to reguiatory agencies to act on their behalf and in their interests. Such responses impair your own credibility and the Cllllmission itself.
Ghen the profound risks associated with weapons-grade uranium shipments, the existing NRC lic~nsing role in this activity and the numerous concerns.cited by Mayor Bilandic, Illinois state officials and by our January 16 letter, we hereby resubmit our reconmendation that a generic environmental impact statement (GEIS) be undertaken in conformity with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act.1 We further suggest that Chicago's O'Hare Airport be utilized as a case study for the GEIS.
We urge the Conmission to institute a ban on the sh1pment of High-Enriched Uranimi from all civilian airports until the GEIS is complete. You will note that Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski requesting --that future shipments travel only a copy of this correspondence is being forwarded to the President's National Statement. through military airfields pending completion of an Environmental Impact

When the NRC, as here, decides to re~examine program for the years to come, NEPA requires a programnatic environmental analysis : the safeguards for air shipment of HEU, which will set the course of this export.
What we do hold fs that an EIS is required when such a new look is had.
A new look may ba generated periodicai1y and spontaneously as a matter of good management and revitalization of the bureaucracy. It may be a response to external stimulus, as when dramatically changed circumstances dry out for review, or perhaps to accol11'llodate existing programs to changes in the agency's statutory mandate. It is c lear that there is wide discretion in the agency to detennine when such review will be conducted. That 1s the essence of government and administration. It is impossibl e to have a "new look" at everything all the time. When there is such a new look the ensuing request for-appropriations is a "prop osal for legisl at~ on 11 under NEPA.

Gentlemen:
Your l etter of August 15, 1978 posed a number of questions about events following Chicago Mayor Bilandic's December 1977 announcement of a joint study by his office and the NRC co ncerning high enriched uranium shipments throu gh O'Hare Airport.
In order to clear up apparent misconceptions, I believe it would be helpful for y ou to review the enclosed Status Report prepared by the NRC staff on this ma tter. In addition, let me offer the following observations.
On Feb ruary 23, 1978 Mayor Bilandic wrote to NRC's Director of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, no ting that an on-going assessment of the tran sportation of radionucli de s in urban environs might well address factors of co nc ern to Chicago authorities. In that letter the Mayor stated, "Thus, it woul d seem illogical to attempt to push through a short term (30-day study) wh ich would be unique to Chicago at a time when the major national urban environmental impact statement is already under active development by your Agency and the Federal Government acting in consort with state and local governments."
On fo ur separate occasions Chi cago representatives were invited to attend a meeting of the Ad Hoc Task Group formed by Sandia Laboratories to help
ENCLOSURE E Mr. Ralph Nader Mr. Richard Pollock Mr. Michael Bancroft - 2 -
assess for NRC the environmental impact of transporting radionuclides in urban environs. NRC's Director of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards first proposed the idea of Chicago participation in a letter to Mayor Bilandic on January 19, 1978. Arthur R. DuCharme, project coordinator for Sandia Laboratories formally invited Chicago participation in a letter to the Deputy Corrmissioner, Chicago Department of Health on March 22, 1978 and. repeated the invitation in another letter dated June 13, 1978. Finally, on July 17, 1978 NRC's Executive Director for Operations signed a letter inviting Mayor Bilandic's representatives to attend related meetings in New York on July 24-25, 1978.
Chicago was represented in the New York meetings by Mr. James A. Meany of the Chicago Department of Health.
With regard to your recommendation for a generic environmental impact statement, I can only restate that on June 2, 1975, the Commission first announced its intent to prepare a generic environmental impact statement to support its rule making proceeding concerning the air transportation of radioactive materials (40 FR 23768). That document was published in December 1977 as NUREG-0170, Final Environmental Statement on the Transportation of Radioactive Material by Air and Other Modes.
On March 3, 1977 the Commission also announced its intent to prepare a separate generic environmental impact statement on the transportation of radioactive material near, in, and through, a large densely populated Mr. Ralph Nader Mr. Richard Pollock Mr. Michael Bancroft - 3 -
area (42 FR 12271). This second generic environmental impact statement is currently being developed. The Ad Hoc Task Group (of which Mr. Pollock was a member) has helped Sandia develop an environmental assessment upon which NRC 1 s generic environmental impact statement will be based. Furthermore, there will be continued opportunity for public participation as work progresses on this environmental impact statement through the draft stage. Among other things, when the draft statement is available, the public will be notified through the Federal Register and invited to comment on it.
The Co1TV11ission is also conducting a rulemaking proceeding to upgrade physical protection requirements for significant quantities of strategic special nuclear materials in fixed sites and transportation. On July 5, 1977 the Commission published proposed rules for public comment (42 FR 34310). Extensive public conments were received and considered. As a result, on August 9, 1978 the Commission published revised proposed amendments for public comment (43 FR 35321).
A copy of that notice is enclosed.
~ should also point out that on February 9, 1976 the Commission announced its conclusion that the air transportation of special nuclear material under currently effective regulations need*. not, and should not, be suspended, or otherwise limited, while the review process noticed on June 2, 1975 is being conducted (41 FR 5627). Although we will continue to assist and cooperate in every way with the City of Chicago and other state and local governments, the Commission has not reached any new conclusion at this time.
Mr. - Ra l ph Nader Mr. Ric hard Pollo ck Mr. Michael Bancroft - 4 -
With regard to air shipment of high enriched uranium through Chicago's O'Hare Airport, there is no federal or local reg ulat ion prohibiting it and available infonnation has not shown that such activi ty, as currently regulated, is inimical to the conman d~f~nse an d security or constitutes an unreasonable r~sk t o public health and safety. However, as a result of Mayor Bilandic's announcement, there has been a de facto su spe nsion of such activity through O'Hare Airport since December 1977.
In closing, let me make the following conments in direct response to questions in your August 15 letter:
1. A joint NRC/Illinois study group never was fonnally "established" or
11 dissolved. 11 While the membership of such a group was discussed in
meetings between members of the NRC staff and City of Chicago officials, the scope of such a study became the pr incipal issue of concern. On February 23, 1978 Mayor Bilandic deci de d it would be "illogical" to do a short term study unique to Chicago since the generic urban study was already underway.
2. The only public announcement concerning this effort was made through the Office of the Major of the City of Chicago on December 2, 1977.
Since this wa s a Chicago initiative, it was considered appropriate Mr. Ralph Nader Mr. Richard Pollock Mr. Michael Bancroft - 5 -
for the City to continue to take the lead responsibility in regard to public announcements. However, NRC has responded fully to all requests for information.
3. The NRC staff has not undertaken -- nor does it plan to undertake a unique review of the risks and benefits of shipping high enriched uranium through O'Hare Airport.
4. There is no* official 11 ban 11 on high enriched uranium shipments through O'Hare Airport and available infonnation has not shown that such activity, as currently regulated, is inimical to the common defense and security, or constitutes an unreasonable risk to public health and safety. However, shippers were informed of concerns expressed by the City of Chicago and have stopped using O'Hare Airport.
5. Sandia Laboratories did not consider it feasible to fonnally expand
membership in its Ad Hoc Task Group for its final meeting in New York.
Instead, Sandia conducted that meeting as a public forum and specifically invited Chicago representatives to attend and participate. The City of Chicago sent a representative to the meeting.
6. Together with the urban study, NUREG-0170 should satisfactorily address environmental issues of concern to the City of Chicago. Continued public Mr. Ralph Nader Mr. Richard Pollock Mr. Michael Bancroft - 6 -
participation through the urban study dr afting stage should help assure this.
7. Any decision to change requirements gove rning the air shipment of high enriched uranium will depend upon the ou tcome of current reviews and rulemaking proceedings.
8. The Commission hopes that continued part icipation by Chicago authorities in its current reviews will assure that their concerns are satisfactorily resolved.
The Corrmission appreciates your interest in these matters and invites your continued participation in its current rev iews.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Hendrie Chainnan

STATUS REPORT
CHRONOLOGY AND STATUS OF JOINT CHICAGO-NRC REVIEW CONCERNING HIGH ENRICHED URANIUM SHIPMENTS THROUGH CHICAGo~s O'HARE AIRPORT AS OF AUGUST 25, 1978
Mayor Bilandic Expresses Concern On December l, 1977, Mayor Bilandic of Chicago released a public statement of concern about transportation of highly enriched uranium through o*Hare Airport. On December 2, 1977, senior executives from the NRC staff met with Mayor Bilandic and agreed that no further shipments of highly enriched uranium would be made out of O'Hare Airport until the completion of a joint study by the Mayor's office and NRC (ref. attachment 1).
NRC Staff Group Formed On December 9, 1977, NRC formed an interoffice group of about twenty professional staff to participate in a short term review concentrating -~-
upon aspects of high enriched uranium transportation unique to the Chicago 1 area.
Meeting to Organize Joint Study Mr. Edward King; Deputy Conmissioner On December 15, 1977, members of the NRC staff met in Chicago with of Health to discuss the joint study (ref. attachment 2).
NRC Letter to Mayor Bilandic On January 19, 1978, Clifford V. Smith, Jr., Director, NMSsr, wrote a letter to Mayor Bilandic outlining a plan of action to resolve the Mayor*s concerns {ref. attachment 3). Dr. Smith proposed an approach which he personally discussed with the Mayor in a meeting on January 20, 1978. It consisted of the following:
0 A Short Term Study
The NRC staff would participate in a 30-day review concentrating upon particular aspects of highly enriched uranium transportation unique to the Chicago area.

yi eld specific results; generic results applicable to any New York City data will be used for model development and urban area will be obtained by ma thematical analysis.
To assist in developing this assessment, Sandia Labs fanned an Ad Hoc Task Group including pFederal, State, and local government, academia, industry, ersons associated with and environmental activism. Chicago representatives would be invited to attend meetings of the Ad Hoc Task Group.
Congress Notified On January 24, 1978, NRC's Director of Congressional Affairs sent copies of Dr. Sm i th's January 19 letter to Mayor Bilandic to the following interested members of Congress:
Senator John Glenn Senator Charles H. Percy Senator Adlai E. Stevenson, II I Representative Abner J. Mikva Representative Dan Rostenkowski Briefing on NUREG-0170 On J anuary 30, 1978, representatives from the NRC staff and Sandia Labo ratories briefed senior Chicago officials on the NUREG~Ol70, final environmental statement on transportation of radioactive materials.
The Mayor's staff suggested that a similar briefing be given to Illinois State officials. Accordingly, on February 13, 1978, the Director, NMSS sent a copy of NUREG-0170 to Attorney General Scott and offered to arrange a briefing for him (ref. atta ch ment 4).
Mayor Bilandic's Letter to NRC On February 23, 1978, Mayor Bilandic wrote to the NRC Director of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (ref. attachment 5). Following are major points i n the Mayor's letter:
° Ch i cago Considers NUREG-0170 Inadequate environmental factors not specifically considered in In his letter, Mayor Bilandic referred to the urban NUR EG-0170 and those raised by his staff which "are known to stress large segments of populations residing in densely populated urban environs."

Mayor Bilandic suggested that a generic its environmental an alysis of tr ans portation in urban environs may wenvironmental statement on transportation in urban e ll address most, if not all, of the urban factors excluded from NUREG-O17 O including concerns raised by his staff. Consequently, he con siders it "illogical" Chicago at this time to attempt to push through a short term study unique to *.
0 Mayor Bilandic Recorrmends Use of Mi litary Air Bases
The Mayor endorses the idea of usin g military air bases or military sections of civil ia n-controlled joint use airports for the air shipment of hi gh enriched uranium.
Invitation to Meetings on U~ban Study On Ma rch 22, 1978, Arthur R. Ducharme of Sandia Laboratories sent a letter to Mr. Edward F. King, the Mayor's representative, providing background information on the urban study and extending an invitati on for Chicago representatives to attend the next Task Group meeting,
tentatively planned for late May in New York City (ref. attac hm ent 6).
NRC Letter to Mayor Bilandic On May 2, 1978, NRC's Director of Nu clear Material Safety and Safeguards, Dr. Clifford V. Smith, Jr., wrote to Mayor Bilandic responding to co11111ents and recomme ndati on s contained in the Mayor' s letter of February 23, 1978 (ref. attachment 7). Following are main po ints in Dr. Smith's letter:
0 Acknowledges Chicago Rejection of Short Tenn Study Unique to Chicago Dr. Smith acknowledged that Mayor Bilandic no longer considered it desirable to do a short term study of factors unique to Chicago and prefe rred instead to Sandia Laboratory Ad Hoc Task Gr oup assessing transhave Chicago representatives att end meetings of the portation of radionucl ides in urban environs, 0 Military Airfield Q ue stion Referred to Executive Branch military airfi eld use had been referred to the Executive Dr. Smith infonned Mayor Bilandic that the questions of Branch for consideration.
Sh ippers Notified As promised in its May 2, 1978 letter to Mayor Bilandic, NRC notified all po tential shippers of high enriched uranium on May 19, 1978, about the Mayor's concerns and requested that they carefully coordinate any *such shi pm ents with Chicago authorities (ref. attachment 8).
Note: Although there is no federal or local regulation prohibiting air shipment of hig h enriched uranium through Chicago's O'Hare airport, there ment of December 2, 1977. has been a de facto suspension of such activity since the Mayor's announce

In a subsequent discussion with members of my staff, on December 15, 1977,.
expressed a desire. to review health, safety and safeguards implications Edward F. King, Deputy Commissioner, Chicago Department of Health, also arising from transportation of a much broader range of nuclear materials over a wider geographical area.
Accordingly, I propose the,*following as a means of resolving these matters:
Conduct Short Term Study According to the joint agreement which we reached on Decen:ber 2, 1977, the NRC staff wil 1 lead a review con centrating upon aspects of.high enriched uranium tran~
portat i on unique to the Ch i cago area. Th i s review should take about 30 days and will include an assessment of the capabilities of Chicago area auth orities to cope with incidents or accidents involving transportation of high enriched uranium. A list of stud y group participants is enclosed (enclosure 1) along with an outline scope of wo'Tk (enclosure 2) and action.plan (enclosure 3).
Briefing on Final Environmental Statement on December 15, 1977, I have aske d the NRC staff to prepare In response to the broader concerns expressed by Mr. King a briefing for Chicago officials on our Final Environmenta l Statement on the Transoortat i on of Rad i oac tive Material b Air and other r-:odes r*JUREG-017 0 J.

Further more, NUREG-OI70 *covers normal and accident transport risks for urban population zones. In fact, a population density of 15,444 persons per square *kilometer was used in NUREG-0170 to analysis. A copy of the public notice of availability is represent an extremely dense urban area for worst-case accident enclosed (enclosure 4) along with the announcement about the study published in the Federal Register on February 9, 1976 (enclosure 5). Copies of NUREG-0170 will be made available during the briefing for thicago officials.
Chicago Participation in Follow-on Environmental Assessment Except as noted above, NUREG-0170 does not specifically consider factors unique to the urban environment such as diurnal ~ariation in population, convergence of transportation routes, shielding effects of buildings, or the effect of local meteorology on accident consequences. A separate study specific to such considerations is being conducted and will result in a separate environmental statement specific to such an urban *.
envi ronrr.ent..
During their discussion on Dece~ber 15, 1977, members of your staff expressed a desire to become more knowledgeable and involved in nuclear matters, particularly as they rel-ate t-0 transportation of nuclear materials. Accordingly, I propose to have your representatives invited to join in meetings of an Ad Hoc Task Group which is currently assessing the environmental impact associated with transportatio~ of radionuclides in urban environs. The Ad Hoc Task Group was formed by Sandia Laboratories.
Sandia was selected by the NRC staff to perform an environmental impact statement on transportation of radionuclides in urban environs. The broadly based Ad Hoc Ta sk Group includes persons associated with government (local, state, and federal), industry, academia, and environmental activist groups.
Thus far, they have held meetings in New York City, Arlington, Virginia, and Baltimore, Maryland. I have asked that your office and your representatives be invited to attend. I have also be informed of the time and place of their Spring, 1978 meeting

This surveillance program was performed for the purpose of the contract was to es tab 1 i sh a program between the State of Illinois, NRC and DOT to obtain information regard State of Illinois. Philip N. Brunner, Chief, Division of ing the transportation of radioactive materials within the Radiological Health, acted as the state supervisor of the program.
My s taff will provide your office with the 1975 report on that program, entitle*d Transportation of Radioactive Material in 111 i noi s.
The NRC staff is ready to start th*ese actions as soon as we receive your approval. I hope that these actions will resolve your concerns so that transportation of hfgh enriched uranium can resume through the O'Hare airport, under currently effective NRC and DOT regulations, as soon as we complete our shor't term study.

De ar Dr. Smith:
This is in reply to your letter of January 19, 1978 **
relative to the transportation of high enriched uranium through O'Hare Airport. You further point out in your letter that during our joint discussions in Chicago on December 2, 1977, it was agreed that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff would review the health, safety and other environ~ental impacts associated with transportation of HEU through O'Hare.
On DeceMber 15, 1977, members of my staff again met with URC sta f f for the purpose *of e~ploring a joint agenda for a study to determine the environmental impact of the transportation of HEU through densely populated urban environments such as the City of Chicago and its major airport. It is my understanding that the agenda for the proposed short term study proposed by the NRC did not address some significant environmental and health a~d safety factcrs, including those which are known to stress large segments of populations residing in densely populated urban environs. It is my further understanding that NRC representative~ :hen proposed a briefing on NUREG-0170, titled, "FINAL -~7 IRONMENTAL STATEMENT ON THE TRANSPORTATION OF RADIOACTIVE. !'iATERIAL BY AIR AND OTHER MODES, 11 which was intended to add~~ss many of the quest(ons raised at the Dece mb er 15, 1977 meeting here in Chicago.
ATCH. 5 Dr. Clifford V. Smith, Jr.
Page Two
On January JO, 1978, NRC staff provided a detailed briefing on the contents of NUREG-0170, Volumes land 2.
This briefing was attended by six cabinet-level members of my s~aff, including the President of the Chicago Board of Health, Commissioner of Health, the Superintendent of Police, Commissioner of Environmental Control, Deputy Commissioner of Fire and the Deputy Commissioner of Health of t he City of Chicago. During the briefing, NRC personnel admitted ~hat NUREG-0170, V~lumes land 2, are still classi fied as "staff documents" and will not be submitted to the full Nuclear Regulatory Commission until at least March 15, 1978, at which time the Commission will decide whether or not to accept this "Final Environmental Impact Statement."
Furthermore, as stated in paragraph two of your letter of January 19, 1978, relative to NUREG-0170, page two, paragraph two:
"Except as noted above, NUREG-0170 does not specifically consider factors unique to the urban environment such as diurnal variation
in popul ation, convergence of transportation routes, shielding effects of buildings, or the effect of local meteorology on a~cident consequences. A separate study specific to such considerations is being conducted and will r.es\\rlt in a separate environmental statement specific to such an urban environ ment."
We have earlier expressed deep interest in this separate urban environ~e ~~al assessment which you point out is being carried out by ~n ad hoc task group formed by Sandia Labora tories, and suqyest that upon completion of an NRC-Saridia Laboratories ~~ ~~ ronmental Impact Statement on the transpor tation of radicr.~clides in urban environs, it may well address itself to most, if not all, of the urban factors, admittedly not covered in NUREG-0170 as well as tho se raised by my staff.
Dr. Clifford V. Smith, Jr.
Page Three
. Thus, ~t ~ould seem illogical to attempt to push through a short term (30-day study) which would be uniq~e to Chicago at a time when the major national urban environmental impact statement is already under active development by your Agency and* the Federal Government acting in consort with state and local govern.men ts.
We do, however, concur with your proposal that Chicago representatives be invited to attend the meet ings of the Ad Hoc Task Group and 'appreciate your sug gestions made in this regard.
Members of my staff have advised me that your Agency is currently exploring, with the Department of Defense, the feasibility of utilizing militari air bases or the military side of civilian controlled airports in an effort to provide a viable alternative to exclusive use of civil ian airports for the transportatio n of high enriched uranium. At the very least this would seem to be a highly commendable interim solution to our joint problem and would certainly go far to reassure the general public that ev~ry possible precaution is being taken relative to the transportation. of these materials and to the safeguarding of the public interest.

I have been informed by members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff that the Mayor and other officials of the City of Chicago are interested in a study being
performed here at Sandia Laboratories on the transportation of radioactive materials in urban areas. You were mentioned as the appropriate contact on this matter.

Key aspects materials in urban areas. The transport of all radioactive vehicular accidents, and the safeguarding of radioactive materials is being considered, except weapons shipments and shipments on military vehicles.
mendations of a 20-member task group since the beginning of Sandia Laboratories has been receiving the advice and recom this study. The task group is composed of individuals from industry, the public interest area, governmental organizations, and academia. This task group has assembled four times at public meetings so far in the investigation with one addit ion meeting tentatively scheduled in New York City during the latter part of May of this ye ar. That meeting will feature review of the Working Draft Env ironmental Impact Assessment currently being prepared.

Dear Dr. Brzezinski:
~~e of the responsibilities of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to-rcgul ate the corr.mercia l export and im po rt of privately owned special nuclear materials such as high enr ich ed uranium. During the iJaSt few years, O'Hare International Airpor t, Chicago, has served as the aerial port for a number of international shi pments of high enriched
~ranium. In the case of exports, protected shipments normally travel by road to the O'Hare Airport and leave by sc hed uled commercial cargo flights for foreign destinations.
The !:RC \\*1as satisfied with the security arrangements for air shipments ~hen ~ayor Bilandic of Chicago expressed his concerns about them and asked :hat shipments of high enriched urani u*'\\irport be stopped pending a
review of safety and safeguards. The NRC m through Chicago's O'Hare ter:iporari ly agreed to this request. In the meantime, Mayor Bil andi c has
~cated that use of a military air base or the military s ide of a civilian controlled airport (such as O'Hare) would go far to reassure the general
~Jblic that every possible precaution is being taken relative to the tra~sportation of these materials.
l1so b~en several recent expressions of Congressional concern and a Aside from the concerns expressed by the Mayor of Chicago, there h.ave 1cttcr from Ralph Nader about the continued use of commercial facilities tor such shi~cents. Since a decision abo ut the use of specifi~ airfields appropriate to refer the question of military airfield use to the Executive f u"fl~ outside the purvie\\*I of NRC regulato ry autho ri ty, we considered it
,-;r,1nch f or consideration. t*/e lool: forward to working with you in reaching
~ reasonabl e solution on this matter.

The NRC Staff is planning an 2:30 p.m. Sandia Laboratories will conduct a ~eeting, open to the public, informal workshop with public participation for July 25, starting at mental assessment on transport of radionuc l ides in urban environs, on of its Ad Hoc Task Group formed to assist Sandia in preparing an environ July 24-25, 1978, beginning at 9:00 a.m. each day. Both meeting s will be held in the ~ain conference room of the Ford Foundation, 320 East 43rd Street, New York, N. Y.
The Sandia meeting will primarily be devoted to discussion of technical aspects of their recently issued report ~Transport of Radionuclides in Urban Environs: Working Draft Assessr.ent," (Enclosure A). Chapter 6 of this report discusses "Sabotage, Security and Safeguards in Urban Transport."
The informal workshop conducted by the NRC Staff, entitled, "The Urban Transportation Study - Looking Jl.head; Status, Goals, and Approaches/' in part, is in recognition of the transition i n e~phasis from preparation of posa l of regulatory options by the NRC Staff. a technical assessment by Sandia Laborato ri es to the formulation and pro

~~~~~~~~~~Dear Mr. Mayor:~~~~~~~~~~
On August 15, 1978, I received a letter from Messrs. Nader, Pollock and Bancroft about shipment of high enriched uranium through O'Hare airport.
Their letter reflected some apparent misconceptions concerning this matter.
In response, therefore, I provided them a documented staff -summary of facts and events following the December 2, 1977 announcement issued by the City of Chicago on this subject. I am enclosing a copy of that response which may also be useful to members of your staff and other interested parties.
The possible use of military airports for exports and imports of high enriched uranium is still being considered by the Executive Branch. The NRC staff will keep your office infonned of any new developments in that regard and maintain close coordination with Chicago officials until this matter is finally resolved.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Hendrie Chainnan
