Dear Ms. Hardies:

Thank you for your recent letter to Chairman Hendrie concerning the accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Statior, Unit 2 expressing your views on nuclear power. Your letter was referred to this office for response. We appreciatt-your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public no; only at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, but also at all nuclear power plants. s We havc 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-time inspectors have been assigned to each operating plant utilizing Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactors like those at Three Mile Island. In addition, the licensees of all these plants which were not already shut down have volu. carily shut down their plants. We are isouing confirmatory orders to the licensees of all Babcock & Wilcox reactors like those at Three Mile Island to assure that necessary plant modifications, additional training and reviced operating procedures will be effected prior to esuming operation. Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain equipment, plant piacedures, operator actions and facility 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 develope <1 as a result of the Three Mile Island accident and take whatever further action is deemed appropriate.

,e March.29, 1979 U.S. Nuclear Berulatory Commiscion Washington D.C.

Dear Sirs:

I live in Grays Harbor County, Washington State, rel-atively near to the Satsop Nuclear Power Plant construction. I am adamently opposed to the continued construction of nuclear power facilities in Washington or anywhere! I feel that thereis no safe or adequate means of disposing of nuclear wastes. Discoveries of radioactive leakages in Washington's Columbia River Basalt radioactive waste cemetery, and the fa;t that this same area is part of an earthquake belt, causas me to further question the intelligence of those responsib3c for nuclear planning. In the case of the "Three Mile Island Reactor Incident", even the most immediate evacuation action is not rapid enough. How fast can anyone run from radioactive wastes spilled into the earth's atmosphere? Attempts to cover up the f,rt that this incident was nearly a case of the " China Syndrcne" serves as proof that even nucleur regulators believe that there are real dangers invnlved-- if not, then why was'nt tLe truth made known immediataly?? As increased nuclear facilities are constructed, the chances of more " incidents" increase phenomenally. Any time that we must depend on human means of control, we must expect human erro-to be present. Nuclear power leaves NO room for human error. John Chancellor (NBC News) recently stated that the "Three Mile Island Incident" was being investigated in order to guarantee N0 future nuclear incidents. I personally war. my guarantee signed and delivered!! As a future parent, and as one who has lived less than a quarter rf her proposed life span, I'd liL the prospects of ny future ind especial!> t l.e futu my children. Maybe thinking in tercs 01 chtidren en v i < < a future is overly optomistic! In any ca::, I t t at s please consider the appalling consequences of a large-scale nuclear accident. I fear that it will take just such a dreaded accident to sensitize people te the risks involved with any and all use of fissionable materials. Please join me in my protes+. of all nuclear activity, and in my search for safe energy alternatives. ast sincerely, 7/ la uhahs/fl $8 Leslie R.

THIS LETTER IS BEING SENT TO EACH }{ EMBER'07 THE UNITED STATES SENATE. THANI %00 FOR READING IT. April, 4, 19,79 RE: Lons' Term Health Implications of the Three Mile Island Incident

Dear Senator:

I just listen 3d to the first chilling session of Senator Kennedy's hearings concerning the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania incident. Because of our country's concern over energy and the Middle East oil situation, I listened carefully for scme reassurance that nuclear power is an energy source which we can produce safely and over which we have positiva control. The moreII listened, the more I realized there can be no assurance of safekeeping an invisible killer which may takei 20 years to materialize - that even the small doses of radiation which we all roceive involuntarily from the atmosphere continue to accusalate in our bodies, and with 1..reased pollutants each year, who knows how soon those doses vill become fatal? Even the sciantista did not agree on how much is too much, and the concensus of opinipn was that there is no safe level of radiation for human consumotion. I'aineerely hope that every word of today's hearings and those to come vill be published for all Americans to read. What does it take to get us to say NO - 1 ME31 TON TIMES N01 Perhaps too many Americans have forgotten or are too young to know what happened in Hiroshima. However, we all know what nearly happened in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and couM happen any day or night at nu=erous other sites throughout the United States. If ve, the public, are made aware that we are producing an energy which.:s deadly when it escapes into the air, which continues to release deadly radiation for un~cnown years to come which cannot be destroyed, and which accu =ulates in our bodies from the natural environment without our ever being subjected to additional radiation, are the American people going to be foolish enough to allow nucle,ar plants to continue in this country? I say NO - if the American people know he inherent dangers of nuclear radiation compared to the possible advantages, they vill naver say yes. It is up to you, the lawmakers - the people whom we trust and have elected and to whom we have given our proxies, to find out all the angles and to do what is right for all the people - even those who, hopefully, may survive for 20 years from now. VE DO NOT VAlff OR NEED NUCLEAR PLANTS IN THIS COUNTRY. As Senator Kennedy said in the closing moments of this morning's bearingo, "Ve were extranelv, extrenely lucky", in this incident... "The American people have to ma'ce a decision."... "This accident was A VARNING VHICH SHOULD BE VELL REEDED.n Please treat this most important sitv. tion as if your life, or your grandW1dren's lives, depended upon it's outcome.

Dear Mr. Hendrie:

Never, eve again do ; want to sit on the brink of a catastrophe for .six de.ys. I want to see every nuclear plant shut down immediately, and the work .i stopped on those under construction.

Claqexscen - Well; it seems those folks who were warning of the dangers involved in nuclear reactors were more than doonsayers after all. And the credibility of many nuclear industry officials, aleng with tneir expert ' assurances', went up in steam at 3-Mile Island. If the back-up safety systems are not tamperproof (as it appears in the newspaper reperth), then I oppose centinuing to build and operate nuclear plants.' Human error' exists in all industries. Pecple make mistakes; whether through inattention, misunderstanding, laziness, evil intent, inexperience, or just beinc a fool whc would take sone risk. The difference is whether that fool has the power to kill dozens of people (as in a coal mine) or to kill theusands of people in a nuclear accident. I believe nuclear power plants pese too great a threat to our pecple to remain a viable energy scurce. Please discontinue ALL new nucle r construction, and ferm sema plan whereby existing plants can begin being deccmmissioned (either by replacement or conversien). Also, please,1E'EDIATELY shut down any other plants run by the same ecmpany as ran 3-Mile Island; at laast until they can be checked to see that they are running according to NRC safety rules.

5 June Road Stoneham, Mass. 02180 April 2, 1979 The Chairman The Nuclear Regulatory Commission ~ Washington, D. C. Sir: Stop building of nuclear power plants now - and close those already in opera-tion. We must investigate other means as sources of energy. Nuclear power is too dangerous - Three Mile Island has proved it. Officials keep saying that no one was hurt or killed by this accident, but I wonder how many cancers will show up in 20 or 30 years time that can be directly traced to this event. We will not support public officials who are pro-nuclear, nor do we want our tax dollars used to: nuclear research. It is a matter of survival - yours, ours, and future generations.

The 11RC is ultimately the responsible party in this and any other incidents that might occur as a result of their absolute blessing i for AIiY nuclear plant that ccrnes along, The IIRC has never = a denied a li$ cense to a nuclear plant and irvestigations are few and slight when they are forced by public concern.

Instead of protecting the public, your = presupposed function, you have loaded the 6un and pullcd the trigger. Joseph Hendrie failed the public in his lax and irresponsible direction of the Regulatory Comniscion and has personally sealed the fate of at least thousands of people in the Karrisburg area who have already been exposed to harmful levels of radiation. Wherc.cill his assasinations and holocausts end?

Dear Sir:

I am writing regarding the nuclear energy plants that the U.S. is building. This is even more of a concern with the liarrisburg incident. I have been, and will continue to oppose these plants. There surely is a better way. The liarrisburg incident is surely a sign that we should stop this madness. I would encourage you to work toward a complete stoppage of new plant construction as well as shut down any plants now in existance. I live relatively near the Karrisburg plant and I am very uncomtortable with what is happening. E Willis Sommer, J. WS: rim ' ' ~f i

Dear Dr. Hendrie,

Eeing a resident, within the 10 cile radius of the Three Mile Island Nuclaur Genersting station, I feel cc pelled to express cy opinions. We were alwayt told that the nuclear plante were " safe" and that "notning" could nappen. Because we were so misled and illinforced by the government and tne utility industry, the known and unkr.own hazards and effects of nuclear power escaped us. The energy desunding lifestyle of tne N erican people, has pushed the government into new sources of energ. Eut wny cust it be scretning so dangerous and life threatening as sto ic powert wny did we rat de-velop solar enercy or improve tr.e hydro plants? I AV ASFI:iG THAT THE GOVE??N.E :T GRAD" ALLY CLCSE ALL TH-IWCLEAR GC;2 PATI!;G PLA'CS I:, THE LGITED ST ATES. I believe tr.at af ter thio T.M.I. accident, the people may now be ready to conserve their en rry and hopefully chang.e tneir lifestyles. When given a choice of chance, or die - frca radiation disease or cancer wnich has developed from the slow doses of radiation received - I believe cost w;.uld choose to e na r _ e. I will never 2 eel saf e or s comfortable wr.ile living under tr.e snadow of an ato!!.ic plant. I an a "uncerned citizen and a motner of 2 cnildrun. Yours truly, ! ab $. dw)' Pachael E.

a R 'c2L L. 2 t'-), 1 It has clearly opened my eyes with the recent t "Three Mile Island" Nuclear Power Plant Accident near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (Middletown), that the ' peace-ful uses' of atomic energy for power sources for civi-lian purposes are not safe under any circumstances. i I strongly urge and recommend that all such plants in the United States (including the St. Vrain Nuclear Pove" Plor.t in the State of Colorado) be permanently 1: a c.csed at once -- even if it creates a power shortage, j or an energy crisis. Thic is our choice -- Life or - Death! N 3m Our potential enemies will not kill us -- we will de it ourselves. Is this the beginning of the end? The count-down has already begun!
