Dear Mr. & firs. Pirozzi:

Your letter to Comissioner Hendrie has been referred to me for response.

I regret that this answer has been delayed.

The accident and its consequences have created a substantial increase in the agency's workload, which has pre-vented us from responding to you as promptly as we would have liked.

The Cormission has ordered that a public hearing be conducted to determine whether Three Mile Island Unit 1 should be operated and, if so, under what conditions the restart would take place. Prior to start of the hearings, the NRC staff will conduct a review of technical infomation concerning the restart of Unit 1.

As part of this review, the NRC staff will conduct meetings with the licensee in the presence of the public, and the public will be given the opportunity to raise questions and to make statements. During the hearing, the technical issues that are appropriate to assure the public health and safety will also be addressed.

In addition, the Hearing Board may consider the psychological impact of future operation on the nearby communities. A copy of the Comission Order that outlines the issues to be considered is enclosed for your information.

I am pleased to provide you with this infonnation.

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