Dear Mr. Thomas:
Enclosed is a completed Event Rating Form for an event at Three Mile Island, Unit I. The event involved the unauthorized entry into the plant protected area by an intruder. This event was considered "out of scale" beccuse the circumstances of the event could not lead to radiological consequences and because only non-safety related equipment could have been directly affected. Press releases from the utility are also provided. Sincerely, OrigincISigned by: D60 WOOD FMoss. c c-Denwood:F.
