Docketing & senice NUCLEAR POWER AND THREE-MILE ISLAND 1 'b

~

bg g, V I write you this, not as an expert on nuclear power, but as a concerned -

citizen of the United States and also as a stockholder of General Public Utilities. Without a doubt, the accident at Three-Mile Island plant demands a re-evaluation of the safety and operation ca nuclear plants in our country. However, we cannot afford the lack of direction of the Nuclear Regulatory Comission regarding the construction and operation of these plants.

Nor c;n we let the advantages we have enjoyed in the technology of nuclear power jeneration be lost at this critical time in our history. As serious as this accident was there were no lives lost and nuclear power remains the safest of industries, and this country has the capability of solving the problems of spent fuel and fuel recyling. We can protect our future by pressing ahead with the fast breeder program.

France is developing a program to bring a nuclear plant on-line every two f months. Great Britian, with all the coal and oil resources they have available is pressing toward expanding their nuclear power capabilities as are many other countries.

The Unites States on the other hand has blocked the development of nuclear power and has passed regulations that have esculated construction costs beyond any practicability. At the same time, we have driven the market price of oil so high that it is completely out of reach for the emerging nations.

. 2 February 27. 1980 Lastly, I believe in our country and the free enterprise system. I have invested my life earnings in companies such as GPU--a company that has proven itself to be one of the outstanding utilities in the country.

Certainly my investment in this company should deserve equal consideration with Chrysler and Lockheed!
