PROD. & UTIL. FAC.r.gyQ nacKET NUMBER 1944 Clevoland Ave.
Reading, PA 19609 February 28, 1981 Mr. Ivan W. Smith, Chairman Atomic Safety and Licensin6 Soard Harrisburg, PA i
Dear Mr. Smith Please let me, express my feelings about allowing T.M.I. #1 to once again generate electricity for Metropolitan Edison Co. and its customers.
I think the customers and the stockholders in the Company have suffered quite enough. Customers are now paying unfairly because Met-Edmust purchase power that is generated elsewhere by coal or oil at I
high cost, depletin6 our natural resources, while there at T.M.I. sits an idle machine capable of generating large amounts of electricity at a much lower cost and without reducin6 our coal or oil supplies.
Meanwhile Met-Ed could accumulate more revenue to provide its customers with more reliable service and consider resuming the pay-ment of at least small dividends to its stockholders which would in-prove its ability to borrow money and survive.
As for its safety of operation, I am sure everything has been, or will be inspected even more thoroughlythan any of the other nuclear stations throughout the country. Hence there can be no objection to its ability to safely generate this much needed electrical supply.
One more. thing to consider is the persistant rumor of impending strike in the coal mining industry which would seriously affect Met-Ed's existin6 Seneration plus its ability to purchase power frem other sources.
So, any further delay in restartin5 T.M.I. #1 is unthinkable.
this very imp (sider these thoughts when your Licensing Board delibera Please c ortant decision.~
