hazards. NRC regulations for r allows the building of the <br /> facility in a tsunami zone with the belief that the ^c~struction <br /> requirements will prevent the building frc.~ being carried off and <br /> that shielding and radioactive sources will not be damaged by waves. <br /> It is coNi~~a. that hazards of the tsunami entails more than water <br /> but also debris and boulders that may weigh many tons that could <br /> endanger the intQgritr of the facility. The NRC regulations <br /> stipulates that radiation shields in seismic areas be designed to <br /> 7hP,(~ <br /> retain ,yi~intearity after a large earthquake. It is requested that <br /> the USGS/HVO be consulted as to the type of seismic activity that <br /> we must plan for and for siting recommendations in relation to other <br /> volcanic hazards. <br /> <br /> 3. The third area that I need to address here i s to clarify the Hazards <br /> }HSSDC,vTe~l <br /> and Risk ~ee~en~e~t with Cobalt 60. So much information has been <br /> misinterpreted by people that I believe that the truth of Cobalt 60 in <br /> relationship to hazards and risk have been lost to many trying to <br /> understand the issue. There are no disagreements by anyone in the <br /> field of radiological S~ ~ ~ F that will not state that any unshielded <br /> exposure to cobalt 60 pencils designated for a fruit irradiation plant <br /> ~ - t- can result in deaths and will probably <br /> result in death if it is a w ~ ~ ~ < I~ r~" exposure. Any comparison _ <br /> a r' <br /> of Cobalt 60 > ~ L~ forte irradiation plant with other radiation F 5 <br /> .-r ~,,,,.r ~ s n ~ i, e ai <br /> _~oia.Waue cannot and should not be made. This, members of the <br /> 1 <br /> council is where we need to reassure the public that we know the <br /> hazards and risk and that the requirements of the NRC must be and <br /> will be followed. Those requirements insure that no person will <br /> <br />
