- Good Morning:
-
- Yesterday afternoon, WNBC News at 5 pm ran a story about
the DOE having found "radioactive hot spots" in and around the
city of New York.
-
- They specifically named a park in Staten Island, Great
Kills Park, as one of the 80 "radioactive hot spots." They did
not name the other 79 places in and around New York City.
-
- I would sincerely appreciate your office immediately
releasing the locations of the other areas where radioactivity would be
considered a "hot spot" above that which would normally be recommended
as safe. Further, I request the actual levels of radiation that have been
found by the DOE scan of NY.
-
- I am also wondering how safe this increased radioactivity
would be for people who live or work near or above a hot spot. Is there
a cumulative effect of radioactivity on human health? Of course, there
is.
-
- I appreciate any information that you can give on the
subject. As Americans citizens, we have a right to this important - if
not vital - health information.

- I look forward to your prompt response.
