' Commissioner Joseph Hendrie Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1717 H Street, NW Washington, D. C. 20555
Dear Mr. Hendrie:
For many years the nuclear power industry claimed a' state of perfection for its 'quipment and operating procedures. That e
claim was shattered by Three Mile Island.
But even after Three Mile Island there has been a generally accepted belief that the science upon which the nuclear industry is based is a true, very precise and next-to-perfect science.
That belief,.as you will find if you read the first of the two enclosed chapters, is quite false.
This.first chapter concludes with: "Three Mile Island was proof that the margin for error is quite small if we are to avoid a nuclear disaster.
That margin for error may be a good deal less than the eiror that can be found in the major tenets of the science of thermodynamics as it exists today."
I believe I know how the major tenets of the science of thermodynamics can be corrected.
Sincerely,
-RECD COMua _
