Dear Mr. Simpson:
During his last visit to Battelle, Mr. Jan " orris, Enviroc.r. ental Project ihnager, who is r.anaging the ucather codification study currently being prepared by your Depart ent, discussed with you preliainarily the possibility of your personnel being involved in the public hearing before the Atonic Safety and Licensing Board on the Three Mile Island Unit Mo. 2 case.
There are tio admitted contentions which relate to weather r.cdification by man-made causes..The text of these cententions is in Enclosure 1.
He feel that the co-investigators of the study, having just cenpleted their research, are uniquely qualified to address the issues contained in the contentions.
The purpose of this letter is to request technical support fron your Department in preparation of written testinony for these two contentions and furnishing of an expert witness to sponsor the written testinony at the hearing. For planning purposes, we estinate involvement of one individual for a. period of tuo ;;eeks of prepara-tory and uriting tice plus a one or two day appearance at the hearing.
The hearing is estinated to start the first week in February,1977 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area.
In actuality the testimony will be subnitted first in the fom of an affidavit as part of a legal request for sumary disposition of the contentions and if this effort fails then the testimony will be filed in support of the staff's direct case.

Contcntions in Three ' tile Island Unit !!o. 2 Relating to Uenther Modification Contention 1:
.'gplicants h:ve failed to consider the envircr.nental impact on the ct asphare and Ea ther of the codined ther al releases of the cene-ration facilities on the louce Susquehanna River.
These releases
'.ill add a significarit ancunt of eneray to the local arca to be
.dissi;uted by radiation and convection with possible alterations in
. o operating license should be granted until such t::a local cli.ra ta.
t' ef fects arc discussed.
Contention 7:
The ficod protection systen for Unit 2 is inadequate.
This is because the flood data presented a.._ the ficods designed against are based on historical data which do not include the intentional efforts of man to afhct eather nodification.
Such efforts at weather modification rendar the historical data of questionable value.
I'o operating ifunsa should 52 granted until the effects of hu an efforts at weather modift-cation are urderstood.
