Dear Commissioner Falladino:
As a' citizen of the Three Mile Island area I have long been concerned about the safety and future of both this plant and of nuclear power as an industry and a valid concept.
Recently I have been moved to a more active position both by the impending restart of the plant and the growing support of my concerns by other members of my community.
I am encouraged by your frank assessments o' and the role, both past and future of the NRC.f the nuclear industry I can only hope that the pressures of the current administration and the nuclear industry will not quash the interests of people such as myself.
There are several points that need to be settled in the minds of the people of this area before the restart of Unit I.
They are:
The consideration of the results of the cheating hearings.
The leaks in the steam generator.
The problem of waste disposal in and around the crippled reactor.
The lack of any ongoing studies of the effects of the 1979 accident on the health of residents of the area.
The NRC decision on acceptable hydrogen levels.
decision is not This A workable evacuation plan. acceptable to citizens nearby.
Whether these points are being considered by the NRC, I do not know, but they have not been answered to my own satisfaction and judging from the comments made by people I have encountered here, I am not alone in hoping for some type of dialogue to be opened in which we can air our fears and hopefully attain some degree of security about the NRC decision on the plant, whatever that decision will be.
The citizens of this area need to be given consideration.
need information and a few explanations.
We From the information I have now, I am against the restart of Unit I.
If there is more information supporting restart than I know, if there are answers to the questions I have raised, I would like to know about them, as would others.
Very truly; ll6 Rosemary Brubaker

My dear. Governor Thornburg:
I recall Edwward _ R. Murrow's. hope that considering the investment),
the American public made in'the development of atomic res'ea'rch, they.-
should be the. beneficiaries.of its peaceful uses.
In the American M.
~
tradition of so-called free ' enterprise,' private interest.with gre'atT
-power in respect to profit' making and lobbying,'not tofmention the.
.use of the varied forms of media, now control the field of. nuclear development.- Our energy needs are reali and serious, butJwei have been
- - brain-washod by those who claim their. interest in atomic / nuclear-a power is. altruistia, - to serve the American people, when their very -' ~
organization requires profit-making to saatisfy investors._ l You may consider it socialistic, but surely public policy in regard to atomic energy and its collateral problems is not an appropriate. area forb.
private enterprise.
With profit making there is too great a tempta-tion to cut corners and misrepresent.
And now this self-proclaimed group of altruists' find themselves. p bogged ~down in a morass of risk, exhorbitant cost, not to mention a:
limited supply of uranium that will make the investment. alone worth-less in half a century..But the American public is expected to. bail 1 our private investors out.
All of this, and the~ fact thatithere isT:'
still no solution to the problem of disposing nuclear waste.
How-can anyone approve the re-start ~of Unit _I at Three Mile Island, until this' basic issue is. resolved?
,f-President Reagan, or s o I understand, has proposed the use of pluton-ium, a by-product of atomic energy, in the expanded production of nuclear weaponry.
This is another one of his simplistic solutions, like his suggestion that third world countries should~ follow the ex-ample of this country in developing " free enterprise when they do not d
have the resources or political climate this country has had.
I pre-sume you ar.e f amiliar with a classic of. some years ago, The. Robber _ _
Barons, and the policy of laissez'fai're.
~
Since I MKIXK have taken the time to write you pers onally, I shall-
)
hope that you can do the same, without resortinE to a form letter.
For me, at present, the basic issue is risk and the disposal of nuclear waste.
I s hall appreicate your views on the subject.
Sincerely, l
Edwa rd A. McRoberts 802-Ccolidge Streot New ^Cumberland, Pa.17070
