DECLARATION OF PIERMAN, KAMPS AND KEEGAN CONCERNING COUPON AVAILABILITY FOR PTS TESTING
- 1. Bette Pierman, Kevin Kamps and Michael Keegan make the following statements under penalty of perjury.
- 2. On June 5, 2014, we attended a meeting in Benton Harbor, Michigan, between about a dozen concerned local residents and environmental group representatives and the Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Dr. Allison Macfarlane, regarding Entergy Nuclears Palisades atomic reactor.
- 3. Michael Keegan, a board member of Dont Waste Michigan, addressed the coalitions concerns regarding the embrittlement of the Palisades reactor pressure vessel. He asked Chairman Macfarlane why remaining metal coupons within Palisades reactor pressure vessel had not been pulled and tested in so many years, in order to determine the extent of neutron-bombardment embrittlement of the reactor pressure vessel.
- 4. NRC Chairman Macfarlane asked one of her staff members to respond to the question. Alex Garmoe, Senior Resident Inspector at Palisades, responded that coupons had not been pulled and tested in so long because so few were left. To do so would mean there would be no more to pull and test during the 2014 to 2031 extended operating license period which the NRC had granted Palisades in 2007.
- 5. As neither Dr. Macfarlane nor any other NRC staff member present at the meeting, including the Region III Administrator Cynthia Pederson, spoke up to contradict Mr. Garmoes statement, we took the statement to be the official position of the NRC. In fact, Dr. Macfarlanes written correspondence to us to follow up the in-person meeting did not mention, let alone contradict, her staff members response.
