Josh Kinman, SEC Counselor
NIOSH Docket 140 Office

Dear Josh and Docket 140 Office,
Attachment: <TBD6K_8.28.12_WG_agenda.pdf> 172 K

Josh Kinman, please circulate the attached comment to the draft 8/28/12 TBD-6000 work group meeting agenda to
members of the TBD-6000 work group and the full ABRWH. Thank you.

NIOSH Docket Office. Please consider for posting on the DCAS website, as a Discussion paper, the attached PDF file for
the TBD-6000 8/28/12 work group meeting. Thank you

As a further comment, the draft agenda does not include the fact that David Allen and Stuart Hinnefeld of DCAS have
communicated through Josh Kinman to Dan McKeel that DCAS is preparing a written response to both the 7/16/12 SC&A
surrogate data paper, and to the 7/25/12 SC&A alternate intake model paper. | had asked four questions, and the DCAS
reply was they were awaiting resolution of Appendix BB issues by the Board before it would be possible to revise
Appendix BB Rev 0 released in June 2007. My other three questions (1. Would DCAS adopt the SC&A intake model or
develop one of their own? 2. Would NIOSH alter its recommendation to deny SEC-00105?, and 3. Does DCAS accept the
SC8&A finding on the TBD-6000 slug facility not meeting the Board surrogate data criteria?) were not answered except by
DCAS stating the answers would be clear from their forthcoming paper (with no target release date given).

Sincerely -- Dan McKeel August 21, 2012

(continued on page 2...) Note RE: new petitioner information that is missing from this list.
Dan McKeel communicated to the work group and full Board information that Michigan Metals
Processing of Detroit had a three year contract at GSI 1978-81 to use the New Betatron Building
and adjacent plant buildings 8, 9 and 10 for metal processing, including a pickling operation.
MMP employee was a member of an 8 person crew that spent two months starting
in August 1978 doing cleanup and power washing the NBB as a prelude for converting it for
office space. Later, Affiliated Industries occupied the former GSI site and made further changes.
A simple decay function uranium intake model will not accurate reflect these new facts.

Please note that as part of the procedures and processes of the Advisory Board's Work
Groups, several kinds of pre-decisional documents may be developed. These
documents, which can include white papers, matrices, working drafts, etc., are
distributed among the Work Group members as research and background tools to
facilitate discussion and deliberation. The discussions during the above meeting may
cover a pre-decisional document. Because these types of documents are pre-decisional
in nature, may contain sensitive information, and may change over time, they are not
posted on our Web site. These finalized, reviewed and redacted pre-decisional
documents are also available to other interested parties through an appropriate Freedom
of Information Act request. Requests for documents not in the public domain should be

Comment by Dan McKeel 8/21/12. Josh Kinman today circulated a draft TBD-6000 agenda for
8/28/12. There was no mention of McKeel’s three Discussion papers. Item 5, status of remaining
TBD items by David Allen, misses the point. NIOSH insists the Board must resolve all
Appendix BB issues before they will revise Appendix BB Rev 0 (June 2007). Dr. Ziemer and
SC&A need to define exactly what Appendix BB issues remain and how they might be resolved
to everyone’s satisfaction. “As time permits” invites further delay in revising Appendix BB.
