    I am certified by the American Board of Health Physics and am a member and past chair of

    the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) Conunillee N13 on Radiation Protection and

    ANSI 42 nn Nuclear Instrumentation. I am then Associate Editor for the Joumal Health

    Physics and have published numerous articles on radiation protection. Moreover, I was a

    member afthe National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP) Scientific Conunittee 2-1 that

    prepared "Radiation Protection Recommendations for First Responders." I served as chair of the

    ANSI Working Group for Surface Radioactivity Guides for Materials, Equipment, and Facilities

    to be Released for Uncontrolled Use (ANSI NI3.12), and served on many ANSI Working

    Groups. Finally, I have served on the Massachusetts Low Level Radioactive \Vaste Management

    Board for seven years and three as the chairman.

    I am providing my expert opinion concerning NUMEC's operations of nuclear fuel facilities

    in AJX>llo. Pennsylvania and in Parks Township. Pennsylvania In my opinion. after a review of

    documents and testimony made available in this case, both the Apollo facility and the Parks

    facility failed to meet the minimum standards of safety for a nuclear facility. In violation of

    rederallaw, each of these facilities regularly emitted large amounts of radioactive material into

    the surrounding environment through airborne stack emissions, unfiltered stack emissions,

    ventilation problems, unsecured material handling, fugitive dust, and multiple explosions and

    faiJed to properly monitor and report its radioactive emissions to the appropriate regulatory

    agencies. Specifically, my opinions are:

    • The NUMEC facilities, operating under Special Nuclear Material licenses from the

    Atomic Energy Commission (SNM-145. Source Material Licensee C-3762, and SNM-

  • Case 2:10-cv-01736-DSC-RCM Document 70-1 Filed 10/31111 Page 4 of 36

    414), were conducting operations with raclioactive materials including plutonium, highJy

    enriched uranium, strontium-90, cesium-I3?, thorium, and americium.

    • Each ofthese elements emits ionizing radiation. a well recognized carcioogen. It is the

    presence of ionizing radiation that makes this material suitable for use in nuclear

    reactions. Furthermore. it is the presence of ionizing radiation that subjects this material

    to oversight and regulatioo by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, formerly the Atomic

    Energy Commission.

    • Ionizing radiation was recognized as a public health and safety hazard during the entire

    period of the life of the operations of the two NUMEC facilities (1958-1983, 1961-1980).

    • NUMEC's operational, health, and safety practices were well below industry standards

    during much of the operational life of these two facilities as reported in a November 23.

    1966 memo from the Nuclear Energy Liability Insurance Association (NELIA) (refer to

    Appendix I). This document identified NUMEC as "one ofthe hottest risks on our

    booksn• The merna continues with "the method ofreporting the MPC hours does not

    accord \\ith any published procedure, and I have therefore not been able to interpret it

    with any degree of confidence."

    • NUMEC erred in tl,e operation of the Apollo facility by failing to design or construct a

    plant that could contain or control the radioactive materials it used. As a result, excessive

    amounts of ionizing radiation were regularly released into the air.

    • NUMEC's radiation prolection program at both of these facilities was insufficient and

    inadequate to effectively monitor for the radioactive materials used at the facility. In

    Attaclunent 1. NELIA raises concern about the loss of30 kg of uranium down the river

    and continues with "I cannot but wonder where the health physicist and his monitoring

    program where all oftbis lime." To further confinn the concerns about the reliable

    operation and compliance of the facility, a July 9th, 1974 NUMEC memo (see Appendix

    2) says '\¥e are guilty of gross irresponsibility in continuing to operate our uranium

    facilities."

    • A review of the compliance record ofthese facilities reveals numerous large scale

    releases of ionizing radiation into the neighboring environment resulting from

    institutional and widespread violations of safety regulations and procedures at the

    facilities. As shown in Appendix 3. an August 7, 1969 memo that shows environmental

    contamination in water samples of over 4 million disintegrations per liter afbeta

    contamination in the Apollo drain that leads to the river. The same document continues

    that the Uranium limit 66 dpmlml for Ura.nium. The same document ends with "we

    believe there is a moral consideration that these high concentrations might produce

    undesirable environmental effects. Also, there is the more immediate concern that, if the

    AEC realized the extent of the problem, they might impose an annual total discharge

    limit. .. ..

    • The Atomic Energy Commission, and later the Nuclear Regulatory Commissio~ cited

    the NUMEC facilities for violations of federal regulations on a regular basis. NUMEC

    was often in noncompliance with orders from the ABCl NRC on regulatory matters

    relating to the health and safety programs at these facilities. These trends are clearly

    indicated in a November 29. 1972 Babcock and Wilcox memo about a meeting with AEC

    compliance inspectors (refer to Appendix 4). In this memo. AEC expressed coneem

    about the "recurring nature and seriousness of the next violations." NUMEC further

  • Case 2:10-cv-01736-DSC-RCM Document 70-1 Filed 10/31111 Page 6 of 36

    reports that AEC opened the meeting by stating that "NUMEC has been the worst

    offender AEC regulations over the years."

    • The history and culture of these facilities along with the documentary evidence of the

    operations of the plants leads me to believe that the releases that were documented were a

    fraction of the total number of releases that had occurred over the life ofthese two

    facilities.

    • NUMEC's environmental monitoring program was also insufficient and inadequately

    designed and operated and, as a result, the data available concerning the amount of

    radioactive material emitted from the Apollo and Parks facilities does not adequately

    account for the extent afthe envirorunental releases from the facility;

    • Serious questions are raised about desire of the plant operators at both of these facilities

    to identify and detect mdioactive contamination into the neighboring environment

    through airborne emissions. These questions are raised by the pattern and timing of the

    failure ofNUMEC to follow well recognized legal and industrial monitoring practices.

    • Because of its failure to adequately monitor and report levels of radiation in the facilities

    and being discharged outside of the facilities, NUMEC's employees at both Apollo and

    Parks have been desiguated as part of a special exposure cohort by the United States

    Department of Health and Human Services. This designation reflects the widespread

    exposure of individuals at these facilities and the complete failure ofNUMEC to monitor

    for releases of ionizing radiation.

  • Case 2:10-cv-01736-DSC-RCM Document 70-1 Filed 10/31111 Page 7 of 36

    • NUMEC's improper operation of these facilities resulted in unlawful dumping of

    radioactive material into the soil and water near the Apollo facility, as well as excessive

    emissions of radioactive materials from the plant stacks into unrestricted areas.

    • To the extent the releases of ionizing radiation from the NUMEC faciJities were

    monitored, the data demonstrates numerous releases well in excess of federal regulatory

    limits in unrestricted areas of the facilities. As an example refer to Appendix 5. which is a

    NUMEC internal memo from March 22, 196?, That reports stack releases 1350 times the

    allowable limit (MPC). releases into unmoDitaTed sewer drains, and identifies that "in the

    present plant exhaust system just is not doing the job it was intent to do." This document

    continues to say "attempting to comply to the stack regulation is like attempting to

    eliminate an ant hill Doe ant at a time."

    • To the extent that the releases of ionizing radiation from the NUMEC facilities were

    monitored. the data demonstrates that these releases were frequent in nature and exceeded

    federal regulatory limits by many orders of magnitude.

    • The documentary evidence suggests that NUMEC was more concerned about losing its

    license than maintaining the integrity of their special nuclear materials inventory and as a

    result, NUMEC made affirmative efforts to hide the nature and extent of violations of

    health and safety regulations. This is evidenced by the NUMEC 'Company Confidential'

    memo of March 29,1960 (Appendix 7) that discusses liquid discharges that are well in

    excess of the pennissible radiation exposwe limit in areas of the members of the general

    public up to 20 mR per hour. The document continues with "Imaginary dilution is not

    satisfactory. We wiU be found out and could subsequently lose our license."

  • Case 2:10-cv-01736-DSC-RCM Document 70-1 Filed 10/31111 Page 8 of 36

    • The amount of radioactive material that was unaccoWlted for ("Materials Unaccounted

    For" or "MUF') at the NUMEC facility was so large that the AEC and Department of

    Energy (DOE) investigated_

    • Based on the inadequate monitoring system, large number ifurunonitored release points

    and cases of significant quantities of radioactive material deposited in the ventilation

    system, it is likely much of this MUF was released into the communities surrounding

    these facilities. Appendix 8 contains an April 20, 1964 NUMEC memo to AEC that says

    "While we are in agreement with you that the frequency of surveys may be inadequate.

    we would like to point out that a very through survey is a monumental task since we have

    a total of88 stacks that could discharge radioactive airborne material into the general

    environment."
