Dear Mr. Snyder:
While I in no way purport to have any knowledge of nuclear power plants and in particular the problems related to returning TMI Unit 2 to a safe cor.dition, I do believe it is important that task be accomplished as expeditiously as is safely possible.
There are few, if any, subjects or activities in which people be-come involved where there is not divergence of opinion even among so called experts. In this instance, from my limited know-lege, I believe sufficient study has been made and expert judg-ment expressed that the recommendations set forth in the report, NUREG-0662, you recently forwarded should be carried out as soon as possible. I am assuming the passage of time as the report indicates does increase the potential hazard and certainly the psychological effect on the population of the area will not be substcntially lessened until it can be said TMI is back in a safe condition.
My personal vhw is that the krypton gas should be vented into the atmosphere and further decontamination moved forward expeditiously.
Sincerely,
[ t d. Ed. A4 J
