Dear Dr. & Mrs. Jones:
Your telegram and mailgram to Chainnan Ahearne and to Commissioners Hendrie, Bradford, and Gilinsky expressing your opposition to the restart of Three Mile Island Unit I have been referred to me for response.
I regret that this answer has been delayed. The accident and its consequences have created a j
substantial increase in the agency's workload, which has prevented us from responding to you as promptly as we would have liked.
The Comission has ordered that a public hearing be conducted to determine I
whether Unit 1 should be operated and, if so, under what conditions the re-i start would take place.
Prior to start of the hearings, the NRC staff will i
conduct a review of technical infonnation concerning the restart of Unit 1.
As part of this review, the flRC 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 nake 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 comunities. A copy of the Comission Order that outlines the issues to be considered is enclosed for your information.'

~
With regard to your coments about a moratorium on licensing, there is currently I
a pause in licensing until recomendations of the Kemeny Commission and the NRC staff investigations have been evaluated and until those relevant to licensing i
are implemented.
We appreciate your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public.
Sincerely, Gi.g.r.:.1 @ cd by Harold R. Denton, Director l
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
