May 13,2002 MAY 1 5 2002 �� I Chatham & Orange Board of Commissioners IL PO Box87 & PO Box8181 Risk & response meeting lolay2`"- Pittsboro & Hillsborough Sirs; The meeting was a valiant effort and I hope you call another soon. Why was the federal agencies boycotting the meeting? I attended and learned , but did not hear as much as I would have liked from Dr. Alvarez, As a matter of fact we could have done with out the first three speakers as the audience was more knowledgeable then you had allowed for.. The question and answer period should have gone on longer and then you would have gotten more results, Dry cask the navy way would have been seen as the less expensive system then pools. Your propsal to spread out and build earthen berms may have been discussed, the tax advantage to Wake Cty, in long term storage of the nuclear fuel would have come out, Yucca will not be done for about 18 years and will not be used if Nevada wins locally Long term to me means hunderds of years. Locally means Nevada is going to all goverments to ban transport of nuclear waste in there back yards, St. Louis and Denver has already agreed. The last question raised a most inportant point , use of potassium iodide(ki), I carry about forty ki pills in a little caddy in my pocket as I understand that I will not be allowed to return home in a evacuation,(i live in the 10 mile zone). Everyone in the country (like in Europe) should have ki handy. Our present system of evacuation, near Harris, will not work in 6 hours, and evan if it did we still have to breathe. Our Governor is missinformed by state emergency management. Our Federal agencies are wrong in not supplying everyone with a 2 day supply The children of Chernobyl are still coming down with 1,000s of thyroid cancer cases a year, that ki could have protected then from.Our schools should have ki in stock as other states are doing, Sin erely you erman ,Jaffe 18 Keokuk Ct.
