TRANSCRIPT
TESTIMONY ON AREVA EIS
AUGUST 8, 2010
BOISE, IDAHO
BY E. MANLEY BRIGGS, MD
I am a physician and have been in practice in Boise since 1965. During that period I have
been concerned about the potential harm to the people ofldaho due to the effects of
radiation in the environment. There are three potential sources of this concern
1. Exposure from the Nevada Nuclear-Bomb tests. Four of the five counties inthe U.S. with the highest exposure are in Idaho.
2. Exposure to radioactive material released into the air, water and soil by theHanford uclear Facility near Richland, Washington.
3. Storage of nuclear waste at the INL site, situated over the Snake River Aquifer,which is a major source of water for much of Southern Idaho.
Because of the presence of these sources of radiation, I become concerned when other
potential sources are introduced into our environment. Accordingly, I am concerned
about the development of Areva's Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility, where depleted
uranium hexafluoride will be stored over the aquifer. One of my concerns is that
the INL is located in a seismically active area, and in addition of numerous other natural
and man made accidents that could compromise the safety of the stored material, an
earthquake could pose a serious hazard.
As you are probably aware, Idaho is very active seismically, and has the fifth highest
earthquake activity in the nation. In addition, Idaho has experienced the two largest
earthquakes in the contiguous United States in the last fifty years-the 1959 Hebgen
Lake Earthquake (M7.5) and the Borah Peak earthquake (M7.3) in 1983. Both of these
quakes occurred in locations close to EREF. I have enclosed maps showing the close
proximity offault lines to the INL The Areva EIS needs to address this
danger.
One last observation that I would like to point out is the high incidence of thyroid cancer
in Elmore County. Elmore is the first county below the Thousand Springs, which is
where the Snake River Aquifer empties into the Snake River. This was noted in the 1999
CI Report regarding the uclear-Bornb test fallout This increased incidence occurred
only in individuals born after 1958 and thus could not be attributed to the Bomb fallout
Could it be due to leaching of radioactivity into the aquifer from previously stored
nuclear materials? This would certainly have bearing on Areva's proposal, and should be
examined by the Areva EIS
I thank you for the opportunity to testify tonight

Among the birth cohort born 1948-1958, the incidence rate of invasivethyroid cancer, 1970-1996, was 4.45 cases per 100,000 person-years (seeTabl 0.3). There wene significantly more cases observed than expected inHealth District 4 and Ada County. None of the four Idaho counties Withhighest estimated exposure to lodine-131 showed an elevation In thyroidcancer cases from 1970-1996 onthe birth cohort born 1948-1958. Althoughthe incidence rate of onvasive thyroid cancer, 1970-1996, was highest for thebirth cohort bom 1948-1958, the number of cases observed was notstatistically Significantly diffenent from that expected based upon rates for allbirth cohorts.

PerrmssionsRegarding the female-to-male ratios for invasive thyroid cancer cases, thedifferences in the overall female-to-male ratios by birth cohort (see Table0.5) appear to be due to the higher age-specific thyroid cancer Incidencerates in younger females as compared With younger males. In all three birthcohorts, the cumulative age-specific ratios were similar for the age groups25-29, 30-34, and 35-39 (the only age groups for which compansons areavailable across all tlhree birth cohorts, 2!S CORI has reliable statewide cancerincidence data since 1970).

Thyroid cancer IS relatively rare among all cancers, accounting for less than2% of invasive cases in Idaho in 1996. The age-adjusted incidence rate ofinvasrve thyroid cancer In Idaho, 1970-1996, was 4.22 cases per 100,000person-years. In companson, the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and EndResults (SEER) rate for whites, 1973-1995, was 4.39 cases per 100,000person-years. CORl Investigated thyrood cancer Incidence in three birthcohorts to explore the relationship between age at the time of lodine-131release from atmosphenc nuclear bomb tests at the Nevada Test Site andthyroid cancer Incidence. The number of invasive thyroid cancer cases ID thestate of Idaho, 1970-1996, was not statistically Significantly higher thanexpected, based upon overall rates, for any of the three birth cohorts. Withineach birth cohort, and for all cohorts combined, vanation existed amonghealth distncts and counties in the Incidence of thvroid cancer, With moremarked variation observed among geographiC areas With smaller populations.
There are several limitations of the data that may have Influenced the resultsof the analyses. The accuracy of the estimated Incidence rates assumessimilar case

Programs and ServicesGeologic Hazards-Earthq uakesGeological and seismological studies show that earthquakes are likely to happen inany of several active zones in Idaho and adjacent states. Idaho is ranked fifthhighest in the nation for earthquake hazard. Only California, Nevada, Utah, andAlaska have a greater overall hazard. Idaho has experienced the two largestearthquakes in the contiguous United States in the last thirty years-the 1959Hebgen Lake earthquake (M7.5) and the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake (M7.3). Bothtremors caused fatalities and millions of dollars in damage.
In all parts of Idaho, the historical record of seismicity reveals at least a moderatethreat from earthquakes. The Idaho Geological Survey addresses earthquakeconcerns by studying faults and seismic activity, and by promoting earthquakeeducation programs. The Survey works closely with other agencies in planning stateand regional earthquake policy and response, and participates in regionalorganizations such as the Western States Seismic Policy Council (WSSPC).

Idaho is among the most active of states in terms of the number of earthquakesexperienced each year. Hundreds of small earthquakes have been recorded Inthe state by setsrnographs since systematic observations began in the mid-20thcentury. Two of the largest historic earthquakes in the continental USoccurredin Idaho or within a few miles of the Idaho border in 1983 and 1959. Thesepowerful magnitude 6.9 and 7.3 events caused fatal1ties as well as destroyingbuildings, roads. and other structures. The accounts of 19th century Euro-American settlers in Idaho also contain descriptions of damaging earthquakes.Geolovists have extended the Idaho earthquake record thousands of years into
