Dear Ms. Whitehurst:
Your letter to Commissioner Hendrie opposing the reopening of Three Mile Island Unit 1 (TMI-1) has been referred to ne for response.
I regret that this answer has been delayed. The accident and its consequences have cre-ated a substantial increase in the agency's workload, which has prevented us from responding to you as promptly as we would have liked.
t The Commission has ordered that a public hearing be conducted to determine whether TMI-1 should be operated and, if so, under what conditions the re-l start would take place. Prior to start of the hearings, the NRC staff will conduct a review of technical information concerning the estart of Unit 1.
t As part of this review, the NRC staff will conduct meeting: with the licensee in the presence of the public, and the public will be given the opportunity to raise questions and to make statements.
During the hearing, the technial issues that are appropriate to assure the public health and safety will also 1
be addressed.
In addition, the Hearing Board may consider the psychological imract of future operation on the nearby comunities. A copy of the Comission I
OrJer that outlines the issues to be considered is enclosed for your infonnation.
We appreciate your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public.
Sincerely,
- i... m.. L;ncd by Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
