Dear Sir:
DOCKET 50-2895P TMI - Unit 1 Middletown, PA.
I a= writing to you about the tragedy at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant in Pennsylvania.
No, I do not mean the accident or it's ongoing cleanup.
I refer to the tragedy of the Three Mile Island I Unit which has been forced to sit idly by since the other unit's accident, penalizing both the utility and it's user customers.
Certainly, by now, with the knowledge gained as a result of the exhaustive and microscor ic er: amination of the scenario of the accident, No.I Unit sho..ld have been allcwed to re-start.
The penalties of not re-starting Unit I are not solely economic, to New Jersey and Pennsylvania residents as you know, but have a measurable adverse public health effect (replacement fuels) and even potentially catastrophic international implications thru the unnecessary additional use of oil which comes from an area of the world identified as " strategic" by our President and which could
/ gg be the tinder box of another world conflict. Before World War II 4 11 (a=ong other things) was " strategic" enough to drive both
/
Germany (in the Balkans) and Japan (Indonesia) to warlike posture.

Nuclear power is no longer an option for our nation, it is necessary.
l Courageous actions must be taken by regulators which will allow us to use this energy " ace in the hole".
Public opinion and media coverage will improve as the already excellent comparative l
record of nuclear plants further improves and becos.es common l
knowledge.
1 Please take whatever steps are necessary to re-start TMI I.
