Mr. George Fusco P.O. Box 7312 Carmel, CA 93921

Dear Mr. Fusco:

Thank you for your letter commending our orders of March 13, 1979, to shut down five nuclear power plants in the eastern United States because of questions about the ability of their piping systems to withstana earthquakes.

Our cbjective is to review the situation in an expeditea and disciplined manner so that these plants can be returned to operation with assurance that this will not conrtitute a threat to the public health and safety.

Sincerely, A

Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation h,'
