So wrote the State of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary, Patrick McDonnell, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairwoman, Kristine Svinicki. The DEP secretary wrote the NRC chair expressing many concerns regarding the recently announced intention by EnergySolutions of Utah to takeover the Three Mile Island Unit 2 site from current owner GPU Nuclear, for rapid decommissioning, despite still lingering high radioactivity contamination risks resulting from the March 28, 1979 reactor meltdown there.
The DEP secretary's concerns include environmental and safety impacts, cost of clean-up and financial responsibility, and radioactive waste handling.
