yarch 12, 1980 Gentle:en!
I've learned recently that the Nuclear Regulatory Cocaissions law panel has recocended, that evidence be considered in relation to
" psychological dist: mss" and "Oct= unity fears" in the discussions related to the re-opening of Three Mile Island Unit 1. If it is in fact decided to consider these trauras please then, also consider the contents of this letter.
I a= the wife of A Metropolitan Edison Company esployee. 27 husband works as a cechanic and until Farch 28 1979, worked exclusively in Lebanon.
I am sure you have recieved much cotsunication frca people and groupa insisting that Met-Ed should 1cose its nuclear generating license. That Three Mile Island should becore a causoleur. That Met-Ed should be forced into bankruptcy. These anti-nuoular anti-Met-ed f
people seet to have the cost to say at this tire and they seem to be sayin6 it quite loudly.
Theycontend that they have been so traura-tized by the Farch 28th accident, that they were unable to function for a time.. I do not d'ottt that they were frightened but please allow
=e to present another side of this fear. I'~c not speaking of fear and trauca that lasted two, three caybe four months, I'm speaking of the ongoing fears and trauca cf a Met-Ed facily.
de've also lived through the unsure days after the accident. I7 husband has been in 800814o595
Ziddletown and on the Island almost continually since April lat. We too heard the conflicting news reports from the media.
We as a Me t-Ed family have withstood more fear and trau=a then any of the anti-nuclear anti-Met-Ed people can ever imagine. We 've heard lies and half-truths uttered as though they were gospel simply to discredit Met-Ed. We 've lived through a year of not knowing if the company will be forced into bankruptcy. We 're still not sure if Met-Ed will sur-vive. Cfcource our major conce-rn the loss of my husbands job simply so some people can make a 791nt against nuclear energy. You can have no way of knowing the anotional see-saw my family has been on since the accident.
Please do not think this letter is cent to conjure 'up pity for the plight of Met-Ed empicyees. That is not my intention. I simply wanted to present another dimention to the terms "Pshchological distress" and " Community fear". Please then remember this letter uhen you ne::t hear them spoken of.
Very Sincerely,
.. J:. h l
