Wed, 27 Apr 2005 SONWGS CPUC DEIR San Onofre Steam Generator Replacement Project To: Andrew Barnsdale, CPUC et al  ()
Date: April 27th, 2005
(In response to your email of 4/26/2005)

To Whom It May Concern, SONWGS EIR Project Team,

We were all taught the following as children: "Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law."  But your letter of yesterday (April 26th, 2005, and shown below) seems to have forgotten that basic lesson.  In it, you claim that the CPUC and the EIR project team are legally allowed to be utterly ignorant of vital facts regarding San Onofre Nuclear Waste Generating Station.

Even without federal permission to "regulate" nuclear power, you still have a responsibility to UNDERSTAND the dangers of nuclear power.  Your letter strongly suggests that just because you aren't allowed to "regulate" it, you don't need to know anything about the dangers.

If you can't regulate the USE of radioactive materials, as you claim, then how can you pretend to be regulating San Onofre's planned steam generator replacement project AT ALL?  The Steam Generator Replacement Project specifically allows the USE of radioactive materials and the GENERATION of radioactive waste which will need to be stored, transported and disposed of somehow, and will be a target of terrorists for thousands of years.

You are permitting the creation of a huge environmental problem on a good day, and risking an even larger environmental disaster on a bad day, and yet you CLAIM that you have NO authority to regulate, and no responsibility to even UNDERSTAND the technology.  If that is true, then your commission has NO useful role in this decision and your EIS document will be irrelevant, because it will not consider the real issues.

As to your claim that the federal government has "exclusive regulatory authority over radioactive materials," I ask you to show me how such alleged regulatory authority overrides a citizen's right to protect himself or herself from harm?  Where does it supercede a state's responsibility to protect its citizens from POISON GAS released during NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS?  You are risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of Californians through ineptitude and/or ignorance, willful or otherwise.  There is no legal authority for such behavior.

I have looked at various state documents which supposedly cede to the federal government the authority which the CPUC and other California regulatory bodies have so conveniently declared they have yielded.  In EVERY CASE I have seen, the wording for such abdication of responsibility SPECIFICALLY SAYS that responsibility shall be given up ONLY so long as the federal government SAFELY regulates the nuclear waste generation or other nuclear project for the citizens of California.  Usually, responsibility is given specifically to the ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION (AEC).

In reality, the federal government has FAILED to protect the citizens.  The AEC was broken up more than 25 years ago for having, among other problems, an inherent conflict of interest within itself (regulation and promotion of nuclear power).  More than 65 countries now have made the mistake of using nuclear reactors for military, research, or power (electricity) production (see list, attached).  Certainly the 6th largest economy in the world -- California -- can have people who are well versed in radiation issues on the SONWGS Steam Generator Replacement Project EIR team.

The law you cite, if it was ever valid, is certainly utterly obsolete -- "quaint" even, were it not so dangerous.  You are swinging a sword in a crowded room with blindfolds on.

Finally, you did not answer my question as to whether representatives from CPUC will be appearing under oath during any of the public hearings regarding San Onofre Nuclear WASTE Generating Station's Steam Generator Replacement Project.

Again, thank you in advance for your response.

Sincerely,

Russell Hoffman

Mr. Hoffman,
 
We are sending you a copy of the Draft EIR as requested.  Some members of
the EIR preparation team will be at the public meetings scheduled for May 12
at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at the San Clemente Community Center.  You can
talk to them at either of those meetings.  The first portion of each meeting
will be an informal workshop during which you can ask questions of the CPUC
and the EIR preparers on an individual basis.

A large number of people helped prepare the Draft EIR.  They are listed in
Section J.1 of the Draft EIR along with their roles, educational background,
and years of experience.  Only a few of these people will attend the May 12
public meetings.   Those in attendance will include the EIR project manager,
Jon Davidson, and Steve Radis, who prepared the system and transportation
safety analysis.  Unfortunately, none of the EIR team members in attendance
will be experts in the biological effects of low-level radiation, since that
is not a topic addressed in the Draft EIR.  The federal government has
exclusive regulatory authority over radioactive materials and, as a result,
the State of California has no ability to regulate the storage, use,
transport, or disposal of radioactive materials.

Please note that an EIR is only an informational document, and that the
conclusions in the Draft EIR regarding the significance of potential project
impacts are those of the lead agency, the California Public Utilities
Commission.

Sincerely,

The SONGS EIR Project Team

Mr. Barnsdale,

Please send me a copy of the DEIR for the SONGS SGRP ASAP.

I would greatly appreciate receiving the copy in printed ("hardcopy") form,
in addition to a CD-ROM version.

Also, I would like to schedule a specific time on May 12th, when I can meet
with an author of the DEIR, and I would like to know the name and technical
background of the person I will be talking to in advance so I can review
their qualifications and areas of expertise.  I am NOT interested in
talking to any "expert" who is not well-versed in the biological effects of
so-called "low level radiation," the economic and technical details of ALL
renewable energy solutions that were alternatively considered, the
statistical methods used to determine accident rates in large industrial
situations, AND the health effects of a widespread dispersal (say, in the
billion Currie+ range) from a major accident at San Onofre Nuclear WASTE
Generating Station.

Also, I assume the person I will be able to ask questions of will be one
with an actual signature on the document.  I also assume they will be able
to speak under oath, on camera, and under risk of penalty for perjury for
lying.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you as to who I
will be meeting with and when, and to receiving the document formally known
as the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Proposed San Onofre
Nuclear WASTE Generating Station (SONWGS) Steam Generator Replacement
Project (note that the WASTE is hidden from public view in most
descriptions).
