Dear Hro AnderE!,

According to an article. in our local papert* the Palisades nuclear power plant* on August 28 and 29 ~ain exceeded the allm*mble 1 imits of the. radioactive concentrations i.n discl?-arge into Lake Hichi.gan.

As a citizen living in the area of St. Joseph~ I am concerned that any amount of radioactivity is released into the source of drinking water and ~ood for millions of people" I am therefore concerned about nuclear power* plants sited on the shores of Lake

Michigan and the other Great Lakes. (This is only the beginning of my concern)**

More specifically, at this time, I would like to address myself to the problems* of tb.e Pal isade.s plant I have. the.se.&

que.stionso*oo ..

1 .. How many times, how much- and what conce.ntration of radio-

.. ' active. material-has been leaked .into -Lake :Michigan in .the. J._if~ of

    • .this* plant? -~*Jhat* i~ the 11 ailo-wable 11 limit at}.d how rnany .tilnes has it been excsede.d?

2o \4hat ne;w threat is posed to the la.ke. by the on going erosion of the. shore along the beach adjacent to the plant?

3o \;Jhat does Palisades do viith its radioactive. waste -

both low and high level? How much is stored on site, how and for how long? Where is it shipped for reprocessing or disposal? .

4. It/hat does the monitoring of e.raiss ions show in regard to pollution of the air and surrounding farmland *with radio~ctive and.other substances?

5o Is the basic problem with the difficulty of op2ration .*

of the Pal isade.s plant due to the inherent ff:aterial problems associate.d *with zirconium alloys and the current ct._. sign of reactors?

Thank you for 2ny information you e:an give me. on the above.
