LICENSEE'S RESPONSE TO LETTER OF MARY H.
DOUGLAS Licensee's counsel has today received a letter dated June 24, 1980, from Mary H.
Douglas.
A copy of that letter is attached.
The letter does not itself indicate who (besides Licensee) may have received copies of the letter.
Counsel for Licensee therefore had a copy of the letter hand-delivered to the Office of the Secretary, Docketing and Service Branch.
Ms. Douglas letter is, on its face, a request "for a public hearing on the Commissioners' order for a temporary modification of license dated June 12."
Licensee does not believe, however, that Ms. Douglas intends to avail herself of the opportunity for_ hearing afforded by the Commission's June 12 Order.
The specific relief which she apparently seeks -
a delay in the commencement of venting to permit a reconsideration 8007020h7_(
. */
~
of the use of alternative methods of decontamination is inconsistent with the express provision in that Order that a request for a hearing pursuant to that Order will not stay the effectiveness of the Order.
" Order For Temporary Modification of License," at p.5.
Therefore, Licensee treats Ms. Douglas' letter as a request to the Commission for reconsideration of its " Order For Temporary Modification of License" and for a hearing on the matter.
Licensee opposes both the proposed reconsideration and the requested hearing.
The Commission's " Order For Temporary Modification of License" and companion " Memorandum and Order" (also dated June 12, 1980) reflect the Commission's careful consideration of a full record which included ample opportunity for public comment and participation in the decision-making process.
Moreover, the Commission has already once ruled that the Franke/ Teufel study, on which Ms. Douglas relies, "provides no reason to modify the conclusion that the proposed venting of the TMI-2 reactor building involves negligible impacts on physical health."
Metropolitan Edison Company (Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2), CLI-80-26, 11 NRC (June 26, 1980)
(slip op. at 3).
- /
In support of her petition, Ms. Douglas quotes Dr. Franke, one author of the study entitled " Radiation Exposure Due To Venting TMI-2 Reactor Building Atmosphere" ("the Franke/ Teufel study"): "The report of the Union of Concerned Scientists concludes that decontamina-tion is not as urgent as stated by Met. Ed. and NRC.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that the alternative methods for decontamination proposed by UCS and Prof. Morgan be used."
. Accordingly, Licensee urges the Commission to decline to reconsider its June 12 decision and to deny the requested hearing.
Respectfully submitted, SHAW, PI i
