L'r. Joseph M. Hendrie Chairman Nuclear Regulatory Cc==ission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Hendrie:

I have recently learned that Brett Merhey worked as a radiation control technician at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant.

I also

~"

understand that Mr. Merkey was a nember of the

~~"

TrotJkyite Socialist Workers Party which has been

'taking a s.trong anti-nuclear pusition.

I am wondering if you would confi:= tha=

the infor=ation I have is f actual.

If it is, does the NRC have rules or regulations which wenld restrict a person such as Mr. Merkey from being qi,,

e= ployed in a nuclear power plant where he coul:1

.i_~.

willfully cause great dama;;;e to the plant and possibly to thousands of people in the vicinity E.g._.-.,,

of the plant.

s-ammu If the NRC does not have rules to protect p.=~""

the public in this respect, why don't you?

[.E -

Sincerely yoars, F..~..

o JOSEPH M HENDRIE CHAIRMAN OF THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION nASHINGTON OC 20555 0

6 IT IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN THAT A MEMBER OF THE TROTSKYITE SOCIALIST

'S W0anERS PAPTY (SnP), AN AV0aED COMMUNIST, SHOULD HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED AS A RADIATION CONTROL TECHNICIAN AT THE SHIPPINGS PORT PENNSYLVANIA NUCLEAR P0aER PLANT.

O IT IS DISCONCERTING THAT THIS EMPLOYEE NAMED BRETT MERKEY SHOULD BE E* PLOYED AT A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNDER YOUR CONTROL, AND THAT YOUR O

ORGANIZATION LACKS INTERNAL SECURITY SAFEGUARDS THAT SCREEN POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL EMPLOYEES COR SUCH SENSITIVE POSITIONS, O

PLEASE ADVISE ME H0n A SECURITY PENETRATION OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS POSSIBLE. I PPESUME THIS IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR EXISTING SECURITY p.
