Docket No. 50-289 Mr. P. S. Kennedy 743 Dogwood Circle i

York, PA 17403

Dear Mr. Kennedy:

I am writing in response to your card of March 21, 1980, concerning your comments on Nuclear Power in your area. Based upon your comments, I felt you might be interested in the information regarding the restart proceed-ings for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No.1.

As you may be aware, the NRC has ordered that a public hearing be conducted to detennine whether the facility should be operated and, if so, under what conditions. The public hearing is scheduled to begin this fall. During the hearing, the technical issues appropriate to assure public health and safety will be addressed. The NRC staff is currently involved in the on-going review of technical information concerning the restart of V'it 1.

Based upon the current status of the proceedings, the development of a record on which the Commission can make a decision regarding restart is not expected before the early part of 1981.

While the NRC is, of course, concerned about financial impacts on consumers and licensees, the NRC's primary responsibility is the assurance of public health and safety.

Your coments and interest in this matter are appreci.ated.

Sincerely, Y {/

Robert W. Reid, Ch'ef Operating Reactors Branch #4 Division of Licensing 8008180Q90
