The short draft VTR comments

Hi DOE,
This is the news release I just sent out, focusing on just 2 of the 13 issues you criminally have covered up in your draft EIS.
It is treason for public health officials to ignore and lie about serious health threats, yet you continue to do it.
As I predicted, the expensive VTR EIS for INL has again refused to detail the actual amount of plutonium and uranium that WILL be released during both "normal" and accidents.
I had asked detailed scientific scoping questions using official DOE documents, hidden in archives, or needing legal action via The Freedom Of Information Act, to reveal the hidden deadly truth.
So why spend millions to whitewash the real and deadly IMPACTS of the nuclear cluster aimed at Idaho?
Why is our paid DEQ oversight and Attorney General silent, except for praising these nuclear experiments as "safe"?
For example: They can NOT make nuclear fuel without spewing plutonium and uranium particles through multiple HEPA filters because the hot particles KNOCK THEMSELVES OFF THE FILTERS via "alpha recoil"! This is NOT supposed to happen!
Here is where the draft EIS simply dismisses their OWN documentation I reveal. The DOE simply ignores the 100% contradictory alpha recoil flaw and says "standard testing" claims the HEPA filters work well, so they will stick to that claim, despite this fatal flaw.
DOE simply says " HEPA filters used in support of the VTR activities would conform to the latest version of DOE Standard “Specifications for HEPA Filters Used by DOE Contractors."
Contrast that with the truth from the OSTI archive url below on alpha recoil problems. " This process results in the continuous size reduction and transport of particles containing Pu-238 atoms, thus explaining movement of contamination along surfaces and through HEPA filters." DOE knows it goes through even 4 filters in a row since the 1970's Oak Ridge experiments McDowell did, that I provided!
Contrast that with the government worker protectors doctors at NIOSH I submitted to blind eyes:
This is a quote from NIOSH but I found it on the Canadian Health Dept url at https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemicals/how_do.html on these very small fragments from alpha recoil.

Nanoparticles are those particles that range in size from 1 to 100 nanometres (nm).

At this size, materials begin to exhibit unique properties that affect physical, chemical, and biological behavior. ... Studies have indicated that low solubility nanoparticles are more toxic than larger particles on a mass for mass basis. There are strong indications that particle surface area and surface chemistry are responsible for observed responses in cell cultures and animals. Studies suggests that some nanoparticles can move from the respiratory system to other organs.

Nanomaterials that can be inhaled, ingested or can penetrate skin indicate a potential for exposure and present the possibility of potential health effects. Processes that lead to airborne nanometer-diameter particles, respirable nanostructured particles (typically smaller than 4 micrometers) and respirable droplets of nanomaterial suspensions, solutions and slurries are of particular concern for potential inhalation exposures.

Results from experimental animal studies with engineered nanomaterials have provided evidence that some nanoparticle exposures can result in serious health effects involving pulmonary and cardiovascular systems and possibly other organ systems.

DEQ never mentions alpha recoil on their website, despite me documenting this fatal flaw since my 3rd year of doing their job, in 1991. Silence is golden but plutonium is NOT good to inhale!
This is just the simple version of my official draft comments, of one of the 13 issues I submitted in my scoping questions. All 13 were ignorantly dismissed by DOE. Sincerely ... Peter Rickards

Comment Summary: A commenter requested DOE address the “fatal flaw” of plutonium and uranium moving through high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters due to “alpha recoil.” DOE Response: The real-world performance of multiple stages of HEPA filters has been well demonstrated and experimental testing confirms the performance of HEPA filters for uranium and plutonium particles. The independent Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) thoroughly evaluated the use of HEPA filters by DOE) and has issued multiple reports on the performance of HEPA filters within the DOE complex. HEPA filters used in support of the VTR activities would conform to the latest version of DOE Standard “Specifications for HEPA Filters Used by DOE Contractors,” DOE-STD 3020-2015. Performance testing required by this standard for all HEPA filters credited for safety would ensure that the filters meet or exceed the performance requirements assumed in safety evaluations.

Consequently, the entire particle of which that Pu-238 atom is a constituent experiences a movement similar to the recoil of a gun when a bullet is ejected. Furthermore, the particle often fractures in response to Pu-238 atom disintegration (yielding an alpha particle), with a small particle fragment also being ejected in order to conserve momentum. This process results in the continuous size reduction and transport of particles containing Pu-238 atoms, thus explaining movement of contamination along surfaces and through HEPA filters.
