O Q
Dear Ms. Shanaman,
It has come to my attention that serious consideration is being given to restarting TMI-1.
I honestly cannot understand how anyone can consider operating unit-1 beside contaminated unit-2.
It seems obvious to me that neither Met. Ed. nor CPU nor the NRC has had the time nor the energy to properly address TMI-2 elean-up.
How, then, can we seriously consider carrying on both the clean-up (unit-2) and operation (unic-1) at the same time?
My family and friends experienced the TMI-2 incident with great anxiety, and we retain a paranoia regarding nuclear pro-duction of energy.
This paranoia extends beyond the mere fear of another accident if unit-1 is restarted.
We vacch carefully and constantly fear similar incidents at the Peach Bottom plant.
But even further, we quastion the powers that be, who we assumed were examining new proposals for energy production.
Many of us had "aith in our governors to test and retest plans to build and ope ate such facilities with our safety in mind.
We never i=agir.ed that the regulatory and licensing bodies would allow such a por.ential danger to exist in our midst wi.hout first preparing the civil defense with evacuation plans and then monitoring safety pro-cedures closely and repeatedly, throughout the unit's operation.
Well,,we have come to learn that our saf4ty does not.seem to be as
'he utility's profit or the saciation of this nation's important as t
I gluttonous desire for energy.
I noticed a scacement at the boctom of my electric bill " informing" l
l me that the cost of my electric would not be so high if TMI-1 were operating.
I think that is a low blow from Met. Ed. to even imply that the TMI-1 restart issue is just that simple - after all they've put us through.
I i
I do not agree with restarting TMI-1 now.
I hesitate to say l
that I would ever agree with TM1-l's restart given the fears I still nave.
However, I implore you to at least consider refining j
l the area evacuation plans and completely cleaning up TMI-2 on that island on line.
I before even considering putting any unit l
Your serious consideration of my serious opinion is truly f
appreciated.
Thank you.
