QUESTTONS PROWRED BY M R WA- ON A P U 24 AND MAY 23,2006.

1) Have you tested the mnny fracture cracks in Ule concreft drywell containment shfeld for increPseJ in size and number?

Why didn't rhe Fitzpouick Plant with &e same design i~sfalIa vent pipe?

veht pipe, Is this bccau6e 30 PSI is what

8) light of rhc high vulnerability of an clevvrted Spent fuel pool iillcd with 35 yrs of highly radioactive wasts in tightly packed fuel ussemblies to Tornados, Humicpneo and Terrorist AircrafttArtacks, what provlslons haye been n d e to enclae the this structure in a reinforced conmelt containmentlwilding and I f chis is hot baing done why not?

9 ) Since Themolag 330 flte barrier wag determiaed hot to adquateiy protect essential wiring from fire and Oyster Creek uever complled w-th replacement, bow u e operators expected to be able to "manually operate" critical &ety cemponmts when fire nnd smoke precludes entrance into criticnl arcas.

10) Since thb drywell wos designed prior to 19 ailable to the wtire industry for over 35 yrs, how is raw Ultrasonic tar data "state of the a competing companks" as claimed by Amergel repre~entetivePete Resler and why Ss Excdoal e test data from 1996 ij proprietary information wlfh t h e NRC's compliance in nof n all ultrasonic rest data prior to 1996 ww public domain?

11)In light of tbc teceal discloxurethat EXcellon dectavtd about the tritium leaks a t other plants they own and opernte, *re grouhd welh at Oyster Creek bdng teegted lor radioactive particulate contlmlna tion by multiple radionudldrs (eg. alpha, berm and gamma emmiter$)? If not, why?

12Doeo the NRC plan to rcguire OC t o install a cooling tower as recommended by the NJDEP to prevent furthcr "grassing" hrnrds t ~ h i l edeerwing degradation ?nd fish Id119 of B#rQegat bay and if not, why since this would seem io be the most prudent solbdon to prevent unsafe coolink watcr 10\5 from "grasTing",
