17055 AuCust 3, 1977 The Honorable '.!illica Goodling 1713 Lancerth Houce office Euilding Washinsto n, D.C.

20515 Dear Mr.. Goodling t I wuld like to e:c'ress my deen oppreciation for your heln in obtaining limited sp7enrances for the citisma o f this area before the Atcaic Safety !.: Licensing Ecard, Cucienr Eerulatory Co mis-ion, in the catter of the licensinre proceedings for Unit 2 o f Ihree :'ile Islcnd I

esuccially apersciate the courteous help given by Mrs. Th-llis Ken' rich o f your Cer7 2111 o f f1 c e. If it had no t been fo r her ini tini contnct, it would probably have been too 10te to get your help. Ea t only that, but afejt,r her call, your accistent, E111 Cornell calici ce terconally to find out what the pmblen vaa. That vr e i=nencely neprecinted.

I Sculd now like to detnil my enneriences du"in.7 these 11cen91nr.

proceedince and ctr:ngly reconaend chene eq that should be rode in the r0Eulations that govem the UT.C proceedings.

The first notice o f the licencing that I saw was in the ?*'"M'.,

Sect.

16, 1976. It announced hearings o f the Advisory Ccemittee o f %.cto r Safecunrds tc2 int-place on Sept. 24. yerrons *.i shin ~ to cubmit otn teronts regarding the nr enda had to pmvide 15 ""eaaily rmre?ucible coriee" to the cutcoccittee before the oesting, or call a copy no leter than "to crmu" to --- P. Muller, etc. '"his h.vo a person 8 dnyn to get nnterici rWy fo r the aceting and no time to = ail i t directly. Thi s i s u runlly what hcnt en s.

A meeting is announcM ani no time, or not enour,h tine ic niloved to do j

anything On Octcher 1, 1976, en article appeared Wich stated ths.t as a recult o f the chove technical evaluation o f the desicn o f Unit 2, it could bo operated " safely without undue risk to health a enfety o f the nutlic'.

This anne article indiceted the licensing hearings for Unit 9 ould to held in March o f 1977. I was therefore looking-fo r en c.nnounc em en t o f tho c o hearince. Uone appeared, no on March 15 I wrote to 2. ' *ull e r a skin e-when the hearin~3s ';.ould be held. His answer implied that the hearin~,a "ere essentially over but that he was foruarding my letter to Harley Silver o f the NRO. staff for the info mation on the henrings.

I waited. So raply from Silver. It w'.s at thin peint that I contncted -

Bill Co rnell at your " arch 28 Allen Jr. Ric h meeting. Pr. Co"ncll colled ce on " arch 30. Clare Miles, NRC ?utlic Affa. irs, then eclied on 3/31. I requested that the info mation be sent in a letter. I rece'.ved the in fo.

on 4/2. The hearing.s connenced on A/5. I do 90t feel that I muld have heard anything, had I no t contacted your o f# ice.

my le{ter.env Ha.rley Silver at the cro ceedings and enked i f he had r,o t'an "He did". 'ihy didn 't 'you nnswor? He had "nresning ve rk, a lo t o f it". He cave directions to his assistant to answer it. " hey juct didn ' t get around to deine, i t.

I might cet a letter yet. He vas very apolocetic.

I never did got a letter from Silver.

17055 pcco 2 I found out at the hearing that a public notice hnd been printed in The E7enir~ "e"a on '!crch 30, only 6 days before the henrinns. I de no t c*et the Wenin" News. I could no t find it in The Dntric t.

In the Tva. "+"<it una 907 toc % on pngo 61. It er e ni sicading. The only reference to n rt-icipation by the public tas "A enoker-'en fo r tho "E0 caii percon a "".o hnve roo.uented to nake licited statcnento vill be per-ittei to do co at the beginning o f the hearing". This inplies that a citicen wiching to ctnto hin views nuet cohe nrior arrancerents. That is not the caso. All he has to

.. do is show up that co rning.

I c tve y testironv en Acril 5. In the pmeces of t.riting it up 1: ter t h a t w e cir, I ccac up uith more cuestions I unnted to ack about t nit 2. I went tntk Tri. day, /.pril 8, to put my docu mtation for my tantimony iato the raceri, plus the 5 siit tionel questienc. They hed reauscte4 the do cum-enta tion. I h.ad talked to chni" men Dir.rd luton nn received the fe:11"~

a that everything cas 02 Eut then the roccMcr info mei me that in or'or to get ny untarlsl into the reco rd, I wou1T have to ha.ve 30 conics *y the end o f th.t aftercon. Thi s ven on Luton 's o rd er. Cin c ? I had 9 pr" c of teetinony nnd no pho to copying servicen except tho so coanerciW.y available, time and er?9nse ruled out 20ttin.3 the additional qu7stions on reco rd. I feel thi s wc s an arbi trary 2.nd ccpriciouc ruling d eci~nci co provent me from getting any more vestions on record. Clare "iles lotter o f March 31 state 1 only one copy was necessary.

'a-+7 no where stipulate that 30 copies of prepared anterial suct be cupplisd for a li:1ted statement.

I thcn ach Ernest Blake, counsel for the utility, if he would respond to the additional questions. Mia response vaa 1 - He will no t re cco nd to additionni questions 2-He will no t send a le ctor indicating he vill no t reenend 3-He will on1.7 rarpond to questionc read into the recari on April 5,1977 After that, I cought an addition 21 limited anrearrhe..

2 The hearings resumet on !?ay 2 for one day and were then po stroned until May 16. They rsn until May 21 and then wers re uned June 6-10 In an atte pt to get another limited appearance, I vac te to Zarl Abraha=, D.I, Pecion I, King o f Pruccia, on April 11. he reepended on April 19 that these oppenre.nces are usually the firnt day o f the public henrinsc, but the te srd allows diceretion, and the '?RC o fficicle mulo con tac t T.e.

They did no t, so I wro te to.braham again on April 25. &

':"ais attitude is consictant with that o f the MRC in the nn.st in bruaning ae,ido r21cvcat citizen concems. I hnve included a copy of a recent Guide article which contains cone court decisions docunenting thi s attitude.

On the be. sis of the cbove evidence and enperiences, I mul? lihe to request that you introduce legislation that does the follouing!

1-The initial notice for an NRC licensing proceeding should be a mininun o f 4 weeks in advance 2-A second notice just before the proceeding 3-It nuct be on the front page o f the local unper in a block fom, a mininun of A in. x 4 in.
