Dear Kim,

I am writing in response to your letter to Dr. Joseph Hendrie regarding

~

your concern for costs resulting from the Three Mile Island incident.

I regret that this answer to your letter has been delayed. The accident and its consequences have created a substantial increase in the agency's workload, which has prevented me from responding to you as promptly as I would have liked to.

Metropolitan Edison (Met Ed) customers will not have to pay for any damages to, or for the restoration of, Three Mile Island Unit 2.

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, in a decision and order of June 15,1979, ruled that customers of Met Ed and the Pennsylvania Electric Comp 6ny would be free from accident expenses, except for thBse costs associated with purchas-ing pcwer to replace that which would have been provided by the TMI facility.

We are pleased to provide you with this information.

Sincerely, Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation i
