,Ri' chard-Mnj or Advis6ry Committee on Reactor Sofeguards 4 ar Sir, a submitting this readily reproducible copy to you to submit fo the ACRS for the$ meeting en the TMIE1 restart.

I hope that youN111reproducethiscopyandmakeitavailabletoallACRS U

members by placinC a copy in their hands previous or at the April 23, 24 meeting.

D3ar Learned Xeabbre of the ACRS, I respectfully request that you look deeply into the matter of th Restart of TMI#1 before taking any action. I am of the I entered the opinion that T.41#1 should never be restatted.

T'JI#1 Reatait hearings with the basis that TMIf1 should never ba restarted,. Everything that I have learned from the TMI#1 Hoarings have strengthened my resolve that TMI#1 should never be restarted.

My resolve that TlI#1 should never be restarted has been stenght thoned by the many technical (EP!P flaws and material deficiencies that have come to light in the Restart proceedings.

I call your attention to the following areas:

Mr Steven Sholley makes a beautifully structured argument for 1.

hydrogen gas control at T31#1.

Thisis in his " Limited Appearance St&temnt" dated ' Jar 16, 1981..He brings up and discusses several othekpoints that bear directly on the deficiencies at TMI#1.

The Staff has presented a clearly deficient EIA on the Restart.

I 2

Agiin, I direct the ACRS $

to"Intervenor Steven C. Sholley Motion to the ASLB to Reihet the NRC Staff Environmental Impact Appraisal on TMI1 Restart Or in the Alternative to Seek Leave Form the Board to Raise New Contentions." 4ated Sholly 4/9/81, 3.

Block valve problems that are directly related to TmIf1 f

have been discovered. (See"UCS Motion for Board Order TIT on Block Valve Tedt Results.")

4.

An LRC engineer by the name of Demetrios L Basdekas of the NRC siaixStaff filed a memorandum to Mr Tourte11otteto the Effect tha t overcooling tTansients could affect the integtity of the reactor vessel adversely.

(See Memo dated April 7 BasRelas to Tourtelotte O son TmI#1.)

5. Intervenor ^amodt's Content &on concerning the care and feeding l [ of farm animals during an evecuation is still inheard and unsettled.

$6 The Emergency Evacuation plan does not hold water.

$ 7. Although T"If2 was hardened for a airplane crash, there was 4 xxi no equivalent hardening on TMI#1.

There isn't even a t

_ cy ty tinn on this ooint.

Respectfully submitted, 4Agg g,
