Dear Mr. Blair:
Your letter to the Comission about the release of radioactive air from the Three Mile Island nuclear station has been referred to me for response.
I regret that this answer has been delayed. The accident and its consequences have created a substantial increase in the agency's workload, which has pre-vented us from responding to you as promptly as we would have liked.
The release of radioactive gases from the reactor building of Three Mile Island Unit 2 is not currently pennitted.
Before the pases are disposed of by any method, NRC will evaluate the impact and the evaluation will be made available to the public. The Commission has also decided that concerned citizens should be given the opportunity to present their views orally at a public meeting prior to any approval of proposals to dispose of radioactive gases in the THI Unit 2 reactor building.
By tHs course of action, we will assure that a thorough assessment is completed prior to release of the con-taminated gases and that the health and safety of the offsite population will be protected.
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 sissed by Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
