Dear Mrs. Aalthouse:
i Your october 13 letters addreened to Chairman Ahearne and h4=sioners Cilinsky, Beedrie and Bradford have been referred to this offios for reply.
I am not sure whether to taka your latters as comments on the "Draf t Programmatie Enviremesatal Impact Statement Related to Decoar.mmination and Disposal of undiametive Westas Resulting from March 28, 1979, Accident, Three Mile Island Nealear Station, Unic 2."
Nevertheless, I i
am taking the liberty of forwarding copies to our three Mile Island Program Office so they can be treated me such.
I would lika to address the specific matters raised in the last paragraph of your istter. The MitC has the responsibility of regulating unclear power if it is used, not for making general decisions about whether it should be ased--in Pennsylvania or elsewhers. That is a matter for Constmee to decide. Generally, a st111ty's decision on what kind of electric generating especity to install is an economic oma, and I suspect that was the case in Pennsylvania.
In regard to the eseversion of existing amelaar units to coal, I do not know if it is emahmicatly or economically feasible, but the NRC could not require it, even if it vers. The same is trum in regard to the question of using Pennsylvania coal in Pennsylvania or elsewhere. It simply is a matter over which this agency has no authority.
I I know you waa't find this response vety comforting, but I wested you to know we aren't ignoring your emmeerne because we don't care about them.
