2 Mr. Bernard Borisof 3920 Lake Shore Drive Chicago, Illinois 60613

Dear Mr. Borisof:

I am writing in response to your letter to President Carter concerning the delay in placing Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No.1, back into s ervi ce.

As you may be aware, tne 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. DuHng 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 informaticn concerning the restart of Unit 1.

Based upon the current status of the proceedings, the deselopment 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 imoacts on consumers and licenset:s, the NRC's primary responsibility is the as:urance of public health and safety.

Your commente and interest in this matter are appreciated.

Sincerely, 1
