Dear Senator Williams:
Thank you for your letter dated November 6,1981 enclosing a letter from Mr. Eldon M.'Dixon regarding the restart of Three Mile Island Unit 1.
Following the accident at Three Mile Island Unit 2, the Comission ordered that Unit i remain in a shutdown condition until public hearings had been held and a decision by the Commission as to whether or not the Unit could be safely operated.,
A partial initial decision by an NRC licensing board was issued earlier this year 6n management competence issues related to the restart of TMI-1.
A final licensing board decision was expected this fal,l.
However, recent discoveries of cheating by certain operators employed by Metropolitan Edison at the TMI facility on their requalification examinations have caused the licensing board to reopen the record and to schedule additional public hearings currently underway.
We appreciate Mr. Dixon's concerns that the question of restart be decided in a timely fashion and the Commission is committed to making a decision on the effectiveness of any board decision pemitting restart within 35 days of its issuance.
Sincerely, 4A 14'aq y
Carlton Kamerer, Director t
