U.S. Nuclear Begulatcry Ca:rrissicn Washington, D. C. 20555 Cear Chai. nan.hTe:
'Ihe =~-4 dant at ':hree-Mile Island and its af*a ath have caused grave m ern in Maryland.
It is i.ip at to proceed with an expedidcus but dalihar.te cleanup whereby dissolved radicactive materi*1= are rer:cve:i fran the pcwer plant water, placed into a solid fer:n, ard trans;crted frcn the island to an appropriate site, in crder to keep any A4= charge of radio-activity fran Se plant site wi6in the lirits set by the cperating licerse,
~ d, in additien, as law as is reascrably achievable.
ar We have censistently ra b*=4 aa that the existing cperating lice se is in force and shculd gcvern the cleanup activities. To date, releases frcra the plant have been within ths limits es**b'd *ed by the cperating license. Furthermore, a level cf c:ceperaticn has been rain-tained between cur respective staffs which we appreciate. F.cwever, I am convinced that it is necessary that the Carission carit to the acticns cutlined belcw to alleviate the growing concern we sense in Maryland ard to allcw us to deterrine dat future activities at ':hree-Mile Island wil' prcperly previde fcr che wall-being of Maryland's enviremt and its citizens.
In pr
- bg further, the c'nnissicn should fi_A require the Mm ropolitan Mem Ca:pany to prepare a sospectus add-essing de acticns recuired to a m lish the cleanup. 'Ihe n 'nbsian should then c x:y cut a process, cpen *.o public review and coment, to dete=ine which of the i
proposed acticrs are to be addressed in the pqw tic envircnmen'al i.m statement (EIS) the Cctrissien has caritted to prepare. pric:
I to this de-a :inatien of the secpe of the m, no actions should be taken which would result in the Ad = charge of :=74cactivity into the e:wir ment.
': hose pregesed actions which carret be accarplished within the regairements cf the existing c:erating license must be subjected to relicensing, with full public par-"4patir:n.
