20555

Dear Commissioners:

I read this morning that the staff of the Nuclear l

Regulatory Commission is recommending that Unit I, the

(

undamaged reactor at Three Mile Island, be restarted at l

low levels.

This news disturbs me a great deal.

The NRC suspended the operating license of TMI nearly two years ago as a result of that catastrophic accident at Harrisburg, PA.

The damaged reactor has l

for the most part, untouched, due to such intense

(

set,ls of radiation.

leve Unit II is a symbol of our irrespons-ible behavior toward our own survival.

And most of us t

still do not know what really happened at TMI...

l IhRGETHENRCTOCONSIDERTHELONG-RANGE (ANDNOT l

SO LONG-RANGE,fANYMORE) CONSEQUENCES OF PUITING UNIT I T

I BACK ON LINE.

Dr. Helen Caldicot asked last fall during her i

appearance here in Santa Rosa:

Are we not charged by God to continue the species?

We cannot own this earth, not any part of it.

We.are charged by God to take care of it for our children.

Technology is a valuable resource indeed, but unti-I mately fatal, as demonstrated by the nuclear industry, withour compassion and vj.3 ton beyond our own lives.

r Most Sincerely, i
