TESTIMONY OF DR. JOHN CANDLER COBB

8208180130 820816 PDR ADOCK 05000537 T PDR
August 12, 1982
.o My name is Dr. John Candler Cobb. I reside at 4824 East 6th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80220. I am presently Professor of Community Health in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Biometrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, Colorado; from 1966 to 1973, I was Chairman of this Depart-ment. In 1974, I was appointed by Governor Lamm and Congressman Wirth of Colorado to be a member of the Lamm-Wirth Task Force on Rocky Flats Plutonium Weapons Facility near Denver, Colorado; from 1976 to 1979 I served as Commissioner representing the State Board of Health on the Air Pollution Control Commission of Colorado; and I have served on a number of other State and National advisory groups and task forces. From 1975 to 1982, my primary research activity has been as Principal Investigator on a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contract to study human plutonium burdens in people who had lived near the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Facility. The final report of this research project was submitted to the EPA last December, under EPA contract #68-03-2217.
The purpose of this testimony is to offer evidence with regard to Intervenor's Contention 2. I am concerned that present and proposed standards or guidelines for plutdn'ium and other alpha-emitting radio-nuclides like americium and uranium may be seriously inadequate to protect the public. Consequently calculations based on these standards or guidelines may be wrong in concluding that a maximum credible accident would not present a health risk to the nearby population.
1.
I believe that where the health of-the public is concerned,
-we should be conservatively cautious. We should not permit the development of_ a huge industry based on plutonium until the questions of safety for present and future generations have been more carefully evaluated.
My concern is based on the findings of recent research in four related areas:
- 1. The findings of our EPA-contracted study of plutonium burdens in the post-mortem tissues of people who had lived near the Rocky Flats plutonium weapons facility.
- 2. The findings of several epidemiological studies showing an excess of cancer mortality and incidence in the areas near to and downwind from Rocky Flats.
- 3. The findings of animal experiments suggesting that at very low dose rates, alpha-emitters like 239Pu ani. 210Po are very much more carcinogenic than had previously been suspected, perhaps by as much as a hundred times.
- 4. The findings of animal experiments showing that plutonium and other alpha-emitters cause mutations and genetic defects as well as cancers.
The public has a right and a need to know what the risks may be.
Our EPA plutonium human burden study was undertaken in 1975 by Russell Train, then Administrator of EPA, at the request of Senator Floyd Haskell in response to the great concern about possible dangers from the Rocky Flats plutonium weapons facility among his constituents in Colorado. Citizens are now, more than ever, interested in knowing the 2.
o .
results of this tax-supported research project done on their behalf.
Let me emphasize that, at this stage, the data available do not prove that the EPA proposed guidelines are inadequate, but there are enough. indications in the available data to cause a conservative person to be concerned. It would be unfortunate for the population of this country if promulgation of the proposed EPA guidelines for plutonium in the environment were to result in the relaxation of the present stricter Colorado State guidelines; and if then after some time, the more serious dangers to human populations became evident.
I have read the 20 September 1981 report by Stephen Chinn and the paper by Carl Johnson presented at the AAAS on 4 January, 1982 and also the review of an earlier draft of Chinn's report which was done by Richard G. Cuddihy and William C. Griffith under US Dept. of Energy Contract No. DE-AC04-76EV10103. This most recent report by Chinn addresses the criticisms raised by Cuddihy and Griffith. Considering Chinn's research together with similar studies by Dr. Carl Johnson and the findings of our EPA plutonium human burden study, I am left with the uneasy feeling that while the issue is far from settled, there is sub-stantial reason for concern regarding the adequacy of the proposed guide-lines. Before EPA promulgates these proposed guidelines, therefore, further investigation would be prudent.
Let me state briefly some of the findings which lead to my concern:
A. Chinn's and Johnson's studies show an excess of more than ten percent in the cancer incidence (more than a hundred excess cases of cancer in three years) among people living in the areas known to be con-taminated with weapons grade plutonium evidently released from Rocky Flats.
3.
B. Our study showed that some weapons grade plutonium (presumably from Rocky Flats) had gotten into the lungs of people living in this plutonium-contaminated area. The total amount of plutonium from all sources in the lungs of our study population was very small, the average being about 0.2 picocurie per person, which is very near the limit of detectability by the methods used at McClellan Airforce Base Laboratory where the plutonium measurements were done.
C. Compared with lungs, the liver retains plutonium for a much longer time (mean residence time approximately 40 years for liver,1.3 years for lung). The total amount of plutonium found in the livers of our study population was, thus, roughly an order of magnitude larger (average about 1.5 picocuries per person); and, in general, a smaller fraction of it was found to h' ave been weapens grade plutonium (presumably because the plutonium from global atmospheric fallout was added to the weapons grade plutonium from Rocky Flats.
However, our analysis did show that the people who had been living within 50 km east and south of the Rocky Flats plant at the time of the 1957 plutonium fire at Rocky Flats, had a slightly larger fraction of weapons grade plutonium in their livers than did those who had been living more than 50 km away from the plant at that time.
We were quite surprised that this difference should still be detect-able and statistically significant twenty years later, considering the continued deposition of plutonium from world-wide fallout over the twenty year period. This finding is, however, consistent with the hypothesis that there may have been a considerable exposure to 4.
weapons grade plutonium (and possibly other mutagens also) for people living downwind and within 50 km of the plant at the time of the 1957 fire.
The reason for my concern is that if the exposure to plutonium resulting from the 1957 fire were indeed the cause of the 10% excess of cancers which showed up twelve to fifteen years later in the popu-lation of that area, then it would follow that the EPA proposed guide-lines for alpha-emitting transuranium isotopes may be seriously too lenient. This conclusion follows logically from our EPA plutonium burden study finding that the total amount of plutonium in the tissues of our study population was exceedingly small and that people who had lived within 10 km of Rocky Flats could only have had at most about 50% more plutonium in their tissues, on the average, than did those living 50 km or more away. Let me emphasize again that plutonium is not proven to be causally related to these cancers, but it does seem to be a reasonable possibility. To settle this important question, we need to know the amount of plutoniun released in 1957 and whether other carcinogens may also have been involved; and we need to find out whether, in recent years, the incidence of cancer and genetic defects has become progressively higher in long-term residents of the affected area, relative to unaffected areas, as would be expected if the cause were plutonium exposure which occurred 25 years ago.
Four studies should be done:
- 1. Measurement of plutonium, americium, uranium and other carcinogens and mutagens in sediments deposited during the years 1952-62 in Standley Lake.
5.
t
- 2. Measurement of americium-241, uraniu'm and other carcinogens and mutagens in the remaining aliquots and tissue samples from the EPA Plutonium Human Burden Study. ,
t
- 3. Repeat of the cancer incidence epidemiological studies for the t
period 1979-81.
- 4. Epidemiological study of the incidence of genetic defects in the affected area.
- 1. Sediment Examination It is important to find out how much plutonium, other radionu-clides and other carcinogens were dispersed into the environment during the 1957 fire and other events at Rocky Flats. Examining the sediment layers in a core sample from Standley Lake, which is a few ,
miles southeast of Rocky Flats, would provide data on the relative importance of the 1957 relcases compared with the already documer,ted more recent released of plutonium during the 1960's.
There was a study done by E.P. Hardy and others of the Environ-mental Measurementss Laboratory of the Department of Energy which was reported in July 1978 in the Quarterly Report of US DOE, EML-342, I-123 under the title " Time Patterns of Offsite Plutonium Contamination from Rocky Flats Plant by Lake Sediment Analysis." Unfortunately they only reported their findings up to a depth of 50 cm in the Standley Lake sediment; so their analysis goes back only to 1962. That core sample
- did snow the peak of plutonium contamination presumably coming from the l oil-drum barrel spills at Rocky Flats during the late 1960's; but as pointed out above, it failed to go deep enough to provide information i about the sediment deposited during the period of the 1957 fire. A new 6.
i
study should be done on a deeper core sample, and it should look for other carcinogens and radionuclides, besides plutonium, which might be expected from that fire. There may, for example, have been some.
carcinogenic organic compounds in the smoke from that fire, as well as plutonium, americium, uranium and other radionuclides. Other events, like the disposal by burning at Rocky Flats of thousands of gallons of cutting oil containing uranium, could also be related to the excess cancers and could be evaluated by such a study of these sediments. In addition, sediment samples from the North Table Mountain Reservior near Golden should be studied to evaluate the possible contribution from the Schwartzwalder uranium mine which drained into that water system.
- 2. Analyses of remaining samples from our EPA Plutonium Human Burden Study The bones, gonads and adrenals, which were collected from the 519 autopsies for the plutonium burden study, are still waiting in the freezers for someone to proceed with the planned analyses. Aliquots of tne dissolved livers and lungs are also still being stored at EPA, Las Vegas, waiting for the planned analyses for americium and other ,
elements. So far, they have only been analysed for plutonium. Comple-tion of these planned analyses would provide important data for deciding whether plutonium, alone or together with other carcinogens, may have been the cause of the observed excess incidence of cancer in the area.
- 3. Cancer Incidence Study Since many cancers caused by low level radiation have a latency period of up to 20 to 30 years, we would expect cancers caused by a low 7.
~
level. radiation exposure in 1957 to have their peak incidence in the-1980's. A repeat of the Johnson and Chinn studies for more recent years should be done as soon as possible. I understand that Dr.
Johnson is doing this now under a grant from NCI.
- 4. An epidemiological study of genetic defects in the population downwind from Rocky Flats should be undertaken. If the exposure to plutonium and/or other radionuclides coming form the 1957 fire at Rocky Flats caused an increase in genetic defects in the population downwind, it might be revealed by a careful study of the incidence of such defects in children born during the years subsequent to 1957, comparing that population with the population living in upwind areas and with children born before 1957. Similar studies of domestic animals, cattle and horses, in these areas should also be done.
Until at least, these four studies can be completed, I think it would be foolhardy to permit the development of a huge new breeder reactor industry wnich would put into commercial circulation as much as 5 billion grams of plutonium per year.
Present guidelines, which may be far too lenient, allow only 8 billionths of a gram as the maximum permissible luna burden of plutonium.
(If each of the four billion people in the world had this maximum per-missible amount of lung burden, the total amount of plutonium would add up to only 32 grams, about one ounce). No other substance used by industry in such large quantities is any where near as toxic as plutonium.
Can we be sure enough of our technology to handle as much as five billion grams of plutonium per year, when 8 billionths of a gram is dangerous to inhale?
8.
My concern is that we may have underestimated the toxicity of plutonium by a large factor; and we have probably overestimated our r ability to control it, as shown by our experience with the Rocky .
4 Flats plutonium _ weapons facility.
