Dear Sir:
This correspendence is in reference to Docket 50-2895? concerning Three Mile Island Unit # 1 of Middletown, Pa.
It is a fact that Three Mile Island Unit #1, now closed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, was not involved or damaged in the accident at TM1 Unit 2 in March of 1979 Moreover, a poll taken last spring in cities near TMI indicated l
that in excess of 58% of the residents favored restarting the undamaged reactor.
i f
Unfortunately, the U.S. government has decided to l
stop the operation of TMI-1, the undamaged unit, during its modification. Yet similar nuclear plants elsewhere are operating while being modofied !
Since the incident, the U.S. electric power industry has responded quickly and forcefully to correct inadequacies in-dicated by the accident. Those corrections have been and are now being made at the undamaged unit. As a result, this unit, like plants elsewhere, is even safer than it was before it closed for routine inspection and refueling way back in 1979 Moreover it is costing both Me E Q " Edison.14 $ '
its customers nearly 3500,000. a day! That is,. o500, coo. daisy to purchase more expensive coal and oil instead of uraniucrfor fuel use.
I feel that the government's decision to keep this undamaged Unit #1 closed any longer is discriminatory and unfair >#
"3 Please-let's get thlm unit open again !
9 Verytruly yours,
