Dear Mr. Walcott:

Thank you for your recent letter concerning the accidant at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, (Jnit, No. 2 expressing your views en nuclear pcwer.

We ap-preciate your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public not only at the Three "ile Island Nuclear Station, but also at all nus 'adr pcwer plants.

We have taken or are taking a number of actions with respect to all nuclear power plants as a result of the Three Mile Island accident.

Specifically, full-tine inspectors have been assigned to each operating plant utilizing 3abcock 3 Milcox pressuri nd uater reactors like those at Three Mile Island.

In cddition, the licensees of all these plants which were not already shut down have voluntarily shut down their plants.

We have issued confirmatory orders to the licensees of all Sabcock & Wilcox reactors like those at Three Mile Island t.o assure that necessary plant nodifications, additional training

nd revised operating procedures will be effected prior to resuming operations.

Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain equipnent, plant procedures, operator actior.s and tacility designs. Licensees of all operating plants, including those utilizing boiling water reactors, have been instructed to provide us with additional information with regard to their facilities in light of the Three Mile Island accident.

In addition, substantial effort is being expended within this agency to evaluate the factors which contributed to the Three Mile Island accident and to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.

We will carefully review all the information obtained and developed as a result of the Three Mile Island accident and take whatever further action is deemed appropriate.
