' JULY 0 9 1580 Docket No. 50-289 Ms. Helen Dirk 219 State Street Middletcwn, Pennsylvania

Dear Ms. Dirk:

I am writing in response to your letter which advccated placing Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No.1, back into service.

As you may be aware, the NRC has ordered that a public hearing be conducted to determine whether the facility should be operated and, if so, under what conditions.

The public hearing is scheduled to begin this fall. During the hearing, the technical issues appropriate to assure public health and safety will be addressed.

The NRC staff is currently involved in the on-going review of technical information concerning the restart of Unit 1.

Based upon the current status of the proceedings, the development of a record on which the Comission can make a decision regarding restart is not expected before the early part of 1981.

While the NRC is, of course, concerned about financial impacts on consumers and licensees, the NRC's primary responsibility is the assurance of public health and safety.

Your comments and interest in this matter are appreciated.

Sincerely,

\\
