Dear.Mr. Ahearne:
It has come to my attention that the NRC has finally initiated proceedings to consider restarting Three Mile Island 1.
This letter is to present my thoughts on the subject and to enlist your aid in expediting this process to the maximum extent possible.
IIere, then, are the reasons why TMI-l should be allowed to resume operation.
^
1.
The NRC mandated changes to enhance safety further have been implemented.
The operations personnel have the greatest incentive to disprove all of the charges and innuendos which have been made since April of 1979.
The plant will be run safely!
2.
The rat'epayers of Metropolitan Edison deserve to have their government organizations look out for their economic well-being with the same dedication as has been applied to the health and srfety issue.
The continued importation of high-priced power to make up for TMI-l should be discontinued as quickly as possible.
3.
Needless to say, the nuclear generation of TMI-l will assist burnedccf'pfovide' tQ,p$gr'ain by displacing the oil being theggunecy WWristgf
- p,oker now being imported.
The NRC (along with others in government and industry) has investigated the TMI-2' incident with meticulous attention and thoroughness.
The " lessons learned" have been identified, broadcast for national considerdtion and placed in use by industry.
The NRC should now devote its energies to the start-up of TMI-l witn particular attention to the elimination of spurious delaying tactics.
