Dear Sir:
This correspondence is in reference to Docket 50-289SP concerning Three Mile Island Unit #1 of Middletown, Pa, It is a fac t that Three Mile Island Unit 1, now closed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, was not involved or dam-aged in the accident at TMI Unit 2 in March of 1979. Moreover, a poll taken last spring in ci1;ies near TMI indicated that in excess of 58% of the residents favored restarting the undamaged reactor.
Unfortunately, the U.S. government has decided to stop the operation of TMI-1, the undamaged unit, during modification.
Yet similar nuclear plants elsewhere are operating while being modified !
Since the incident, the U.S. electriccpower industry has responded quickly and forcefully to correct inadequacies in-l dicated by the accident. Those correctisataW,bapp, and are now being made at the undamaged unit. As a ressestathis udit,'.;1,8Yor ike plants elsewhere, is even safer than it was Wefore it closa routine inspection and refueling way back in'1979 f
{
Moreover it is costing Metropolitan Edison and its l
customers nearly $500,000. a day! That is, $500,000, daily to purchase more expensive coal and oil instead of uranium for
, ]y fuel as use.
The government's decision to keep the undamaged uni b closed, then, is not only discriminatory and irrational but,y totally unjustified as well.
Pleas - let's get TMI Unit Wpen--soon !
