ADDENDUM SUBMISSION TO EARLIER E-MAIL DATED 8.26.12
August 26, 2012
Dear Ted and the NIOSH Docket 140 Office,
ADD Attachment: <McKeel_ADD-GS!_8.26.12b.pdf> 237 K
Please add the attached PDF file to my main file submitted a bit earlier today.

Please distribute this ADDENDUM with the main file to all Board members and post it to Docket 140. The three files that
comprise this addendum are recent submissions by His e-mail has been down and | just received them.
They are:

(1) A recent interview with an eye witness knowledgeable about the GS! New Betatron building renovation in 1984;

(2) A photo of a large hot air furnace (no HEPA filer) at GS! that recirculated air in the GSI Betatron building. Note the
enlargement of the labels on the furnace that show it was made by “Janitrol" and was owned by the Army Corps of
Engineers. Several similar furnace units were installed in the same room and undoubtedly contributed to enhanced dust
dispersion, including uranium contaminated dust, and;

(3) A photo of a very large industrial sweeper that was kept and used in the New Betatron Building at GSI. This unit
was not identified or examined in the 1988-1993 ORNL DOE cleanup of the GS! New Betatron facility.

Sincerely,
— Dan McKee!

Subj: Conversation with

Dan:

On Aug. 22, 2012 | had a conversation with
These are the results and findings of that conversation:

1 had shared with us that He had done electrical work at the former GSI Site, namely in the New
Betatron Building.

2. elaborated more for me:

While — was employed at DOW Madison, he and others attended "on the job" electrical wiring training at
the GSI Site.

The task was to re-wire the New Betatron Building.

said he knows this took place in 1984, He remembers the year because there was a major job
reclassification that took place. That is why he was being re-trained etc.

When he and others arrived at GS! _ the first day, the New Betatron building, where they were going to work
was too dirty to occupy or work in.
The person in charge ( GCS/ Natl Steel) then ordered that the New Betatron building be cleaned/
power washed before (ASAP) the classes/ OJT could proceed. (1984).

without any prompting, named "Waterblast Company" as the people who came in and "power washed the
entire New Betatron building from ceiling to floor" (Direct quote). | named as one of the
Water Blast employees who did the work (_ went to high school with & new him).
The cleaning was done "with the elec. power tured OFF" so they could power wash “everything” without
any concerns. Ceiling to floor.
This process took 2-3 days. "Large fans" (quote) were brought in to help with the drying.

The Instructors were - Granite City Steel, -DOW.
also said that The Old Betatron Building was also power washed by "Water Blast Company". 1984
Conversion of that building for new use never took place because BAC (Belleville Area College) Granite City
Campus opened and classes were moved there instead of GSI,
“No one ever mentioned Uranium". No one wore special clothing, just street clothing, no masks etc.

Hoppe is willing to be interviewed

Thanks,

| just spoke with for 2 minutes ( He is on vacation and _was on the golf

| got a couple of questions out before he had to hang up. (He asked me to call him Mon)
started 1986.

He did not work for Affiliated or MMP. (Find out more Mon.)

He said G.C, PICKLING Bought the Site in 2003.

"He had to run, call back Mon."
