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-

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

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

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.

• 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."

• 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."
