Dear Mr. Shea:
Thank you for your recent letter concerning the accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 expressing your views on nuclear power.
We have taken or are taking a number of actions with respect to all nuclear power plants as a result of the Three Mile Island accident.
Specifically, full-time inspectors have been assigned to each operating plant utilizing Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactors like those at Three Mile Island.
In addition, the licensees of all these plants which were not already shut down have voluntarily shut down their plants.
We have issued confirmatory orders to the li'censees of all Babcock & Wilcox reactors like those at Three Mile Island to assure that necessary plant modifications, additional training and revised operating procedures will be effected prior to resuming operation.
Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain equipment, plant procedures, operator actions and facility designs.
Licensees of all operating plants, including those utilizing boiling water reactors, have been instructed to provide us with additional information with regard to their facilities in light of the Three Mile Island accident.
In addition, substantial effort is being expended within this agency to evaluate the factors which contributed to the Three Mile Island accident and to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.
We will carefully review all the information obtained and developed as a result of the Three Mile Island accident and take whatever further action is deemed appropriate.
We do not publish general information such as that which you request. We suggest that the best source of such information would be your local library.
Although we regret that we are unable to provide more assistance to you, your interest in these matters is appreciated.
l Sincerely, A
/
Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation l

Dear Sirs:
I am thinking of writing a science report on the atomic bomb.
There are several things that should be made known to me before I start this paper; the first is the critical mass of plutonium and the set:ad is the standard triggering mechanism for the atomic bomb.
I am also interested in the Three Mile Island nuclear facility.
Is it possible for you to send me any plans or i
diagrams for the nuclear facility so I could trace the reactor problems.
Thank you.very much for your attention to my letter.
Sincerely yours, f
Scott F. Jones

SEP 14 r379 Mr. Fred Silecchis 43-09 Main Street Flushing, NY 11355
Dear Mr. Silecchia:
Your recent letter to Chairman Hendrie concerning the accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 excressing your views on nuclear power was referred to this office for response.
We appreciate your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public not only at the Three Mile Island Nuclear I
Station, but also at all nuclear power plants.
We have taken or are taking a number of actions with respect to all nuclear power plants as a result of the Three Mile Island accident.
Specifically, full-time inspectors have been assigned to each operating plant utilizing Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactors 'like those at Three Mile Island.
In addition, the licensees of all these plants which were not already shut down have voluntarily shut down their plants.
We have issued confimatory orders to the licensees of all Babcock & Wilcox reactors like those at Three Mile Island to assure that necessary plant modifications, additional training and revised operating procedures will be effected prior to resuming operation.
Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain equipment, plant procedures, operator actions and facility designs.
Licensees of all operating plants, including those utilizing boiling water reacto.7, have been instructed to provide us with additional information with regard to their facilities in light of the Three Mile Island accident.
In addition, substantial effort is being expended within this agency to evaluate the factors which contributed to the Three Mile Island accident and to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.
l We will carefully review all the information obtained and developed as a result of the Three Mile Island accident and take whatever further action is deemed appropriate.
In response to your request, we are enclosing a listing of all the nuclear plants that are planned, under construction or in operation in the United States.
l Sincarely, h

Dear Mr. Rogers:
Your recent letter to President Carter concerning the accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 expressing your views on nuclear power was referred to this agency for response. We appreciate your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public not only at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, but also at all nuclear power plaats.
We have taken or are taking a number of actions with respect to all nuclear power plants as a result of the Three Mile Island accident.
Specifically, full-time inspectors have been assigned to each operating plant utilizing Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactors like those at Three Mile Island.
In addition, the licensees of all these plants which were not already shut down have voluntarily shut down their plants.
We have issued confirmatory orders to the licensees of all Babcock & Wilcox reactors have those at Three Mile Island to assure that necessary plant modifications, additional training and revised operating procedures will -be effected prior to resuming operation.
Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain equipment, plant procedures, operator actions and facility designs.
Licensees of all operating plants, including those utilizing boiling water reactors, have been instructed to provide us with additional information with regard to their facilities in light of the Three Mile Island accident.
In addition, substantial effort is being expended within this agency to evaluate the factors which contributed to the Three Mile Island accident and to prevent a similar r
occurrence in the future.
We will carefully review all the information obtained and developed as a result of the Three Mile Island accident and take whatever further action is deemed appropriate.
Sincarely, a

We feel that this near-disaster could have been avoided by taking more interest in the physical construction of this plant. The radiation which was discharged from the plant on March 28, 1979 has endangered the lives of over l
131,000 persons.
In itself, this is the largest crime of all. The endanger-ment of the people with nuclear radiation steam has been the most disappoint-ing aspect of the entire situation. Furthermore, what now happens to these innocent people infected with radiation? How is the area around the plant to be cleaned up presuming that there h an area left to clean up!
l The N.R.C. has_ loose rules and regulations in regards to protection of the citizens via the safety measures taken in constructing a plant of this l
type. These safety regulations are of great personal interest to me because our government is constructing a similar plant in Madison, Indiana - less than 31 miles fmm my home.
If we should be allowed to continue construction of tnis plant, the N.R.C. should strengthen the rules and regulations regard-ing the safety of this proposed plan.
If you feel that the government agencies can be prepared for the ever constant threat of a " melt-down" of one of these j
nuclear plants, then leave your rules stand as they are written.
If it is j
allowed, could you please send me a copy of the N.R.C.'s rules on the matter.
April 4,1979 Page Two I strongly feel that I have a very great responsibility in this argument.
I want to live my life to its fullest and not have to worry about such thir.gs as this!
I cannot see the point in standing idle and possibly watching a city or cities die because os some peoples' stubbornness.
I do not want to see our area contaminated by nuclear radiation.
I believe this is my generation's United States coming up and I want it to be freed from constant worries about such horrors. Also, I want to see my children's children free fmm this grave concern. My constituents and I feel we should have the l'arger part of the decision on the question of nuclear safety and the construction of the nuclear plar.ts.
If you and your colleagues intend to possibly poison our society and environment, I fully intend to pursue every way available to me, including i
legal means, to see that this does not occur. The entire problem lies in the l
N.R.C.'s lax rules and regulations concerning nuclear power plants.
If these rules are corrected by being made much more stringent, nuclear plants could be made quite safe. The engineers claim that these reactors are safe, but obviously they are not, as witnessed by this colossal mistake.
The United States further claims to have the best record of nuclear safety. How can the N.R.C. now claim this after this accident? After all, there has never been a nuclear accident that we know of....!?
That brings me to another point of interest, that is, the question of how any other types of " accidents" have occurred but have been covered up. The cover-ups that are evident, at least the ones that have surfaced, cause us to wonder how many of these related cover-ups have. occurred.
I feel that many already have, however, this is only an opinion.
I feel there are matters of integrity involved here.
If you intend to change these, then more power to you; however, if you chose not to rectify these situations, then an accident, that is to say, a " melt-i down" would be in your hands and the hands of any others who had a part in that decision.
I feel confident that you will make the right decision concern-ing this matter.
I feel that if there had been a " melt-down," you would have i
[
been only partially responsible, but after this recent occurrence, it will l
I April 4,1979 Page Three then be on your conscience.
The main conflict, again, is, the people of the N.R.C.
This group spent only four days inspecting over seven other plants last year. Again, to the point of the questions, what are you, as the leader of our country, going to do about this entire horrifying matter? You are an educated man in the as-pects of nuclear radiation and can certainly understand the dire needs of our American communities.
If you and the Congress do nothing concerning this life and death matter, you will, in essence, be condemning the American people to certain death. This may not occur to this extrene during my lifetime nor my children's lifetime, but what about our descendants? What should they be led to believe about their ancestors and the type of government officials leading the United States of America during this period of tiae.
I am asking you, as a last cry for help before the BIG mistake is l
made, which is inevitable and possibly can be totally avoided, to promptly submit your motion to the N.R.C. to get their rules and regulations " stiffened up" or, again, there will definitely be a great accident which may cost the lives of thousands, or perhaps, even millions!
I will expect a reply directly from your office concerning this very grave matter.
I can be reached at Jeffersonville High School anytime between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., E.S.T.
I will be anxiously awaiting your reply.

Dear Mr. Seide1:
Your recent letter to President Carter concerning the accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 expressing your views on nuclear power was referred to this agency for response. We appreciate your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public not only at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, but also at all nuclear power plants.
We have taken or are taking a number of actions with respect to all nuclear power plants as a result of the Three Mile Island accident.
Specifically, full-time inspectors have been assigned to each operating plant utilizing Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactors like those at Three Mile Island.
In addition, the Itcensees of all these plants which were not airesdy shut down have voluntarily shut down their plants.
We have issued confirmatory orders to the ifconsees of all Sabcock & Wilcox reactors like those at Three Mile Island to assure that necessary plant modifications, additional training and revised operating procedures will be effected prior to resuming operation.
Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain equipment, plant procedures, operator actions and facility designs.
Licensees of all operating plants, including those utilizing boiling water reactors, have been instructed to provide us with additional information with regard to their facilities in Ifght of the Three Mile Island accident.
In addition, substantial effort is being expended within this agency to evaluate the factors i
which contributed to the Three Mile Island accident and to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.
We will carefully review all the information obtained and developed as a result of the Three Mile Island
- accident and take westever further action is deemed appropriate.

\\i Mar Mister Pre s ident, Wen you first began your canoalgn for the office that you hold and I vo;ed for you to hold, you said that there would be a new era in the Wite House.
It was to be an open Wite House, and the secrecy of the previous sceupant would be replaced by an executive that trusted tha American pe ople to be able to know f acts and issues.
Secrecy was to be banished.

I have been following it from its beginnine, and it seems that we, the people,are not being told the truth, or the people in the A.E.C. are terribly negligent and uninformed about the verv thing they are to be experts l
in.
Throughout the crisis, we have been told that there was nothine to t
be concerned about.
But hour af ter hour, it becoce s evident that there is somethine to be worried and concerned over, or it is evident that thos e that are being paid high salaries to knew about such things know absolutely nothing.
Prora nothing to worry about the first day, sud_denly erernant women y
l and pre-school children were asked to leave.
Wy?
If there is nothin to worry about, why, in the United States.ef America, are we evacuatine pe ople ?
Are we at war ?

17I20 THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR PLANT l
Dear Sir,
First, let me say that I supported you in your campaign to beccee Governor of Pennsylvania in the recent election and second, let me make it clear that I do not own any stock, nor have I any financial interest, in the General Public Utilities, or any of its subsidiaries.
But I was dismayed to read in the Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin of June 24, 1979 that you were opposed to resumption of service of UNIT #1 at Three
! tile Island Plant. To replace the Power generated by bcth L4I Units with oil-fired generating equipnent would require sanething close to ELEVEN, MILLICH BARREIS OF (IMPORTED) OIL PER YEAR!
So' keeping UNIT 1 out of service when it's ready to go, would require about half that.
Given the critical oil situation we are faced with, I personally do not feel we can afford the " luxury" of not operating this key nuclear generating unit.
In my opinion, the furore, sensationalism and emotionalism generated by the Media over the TMI incident was so grossly over-exaggerated that it bordered on the cririinal! Let's count up the score news NO CNE WAS HURF and THERE WAS NO EXCESSIVE RELEASE OF RADIATION during the TMI Incident.
Look further at the record of Nuclear Power Generations there have been no casualties.
Consider, for instance, that Newswealth Edison, in Chicago 7 which supplias power to most of Northeastern Illincis, generated 47% of its power last year with Nuclear Units. Ask them what their costs and problems l
(with nuclear power) have been~ - their costs have been the lowest and their problems have been minimal and certainly manageable.
We live in troubled times. We no longer can satisfy everybody's whim and fancy and we've got to learn that. But if we don't somehow decrease our dependence on imported oil, we can very easily develop a situatien here in this country that will make the Three Mile Island Incident look like a Sunday School Picnic. Just look what's been happening around the ccunt.7 recently, because of a little inconvenience caused by gasoline shortages; icok what happened over at aristol and Levittewn last Sunday.
We should operate all our Nuclear units; we should complete these under constructicn and put them into service pr::mptly; we should take eve.7 cpportunity to save oil, wherever and whenever pcssible. We have get g
w.
The Honorable Richard Thornburgh Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant Pe7e ?do to assume scee types of risks, to avoid the still greater risk of economic disaster that could result fress a drastically curtailed oil supply.
And I still insist that the hsks of operating nuclear power plants is not great at alls it is minimal - look at the record.
Very truly yours,
- sw w -

Dear Ms. Burkett:
Your recent letter to Chairman Hendrie concerning the accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 expressing your views on nuclear power was referred to this office for response.
We appreciate your concerns and assure you that every effort is being made to ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the public not only at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, but also at all nuclear power plants.
We have taken or are taking a number of actions with respect to all nuclear power plants as a result of the Three Mile Island accident.
Specifically, full-time inspectors have been assigned to each operating plant utilizing Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactors like those at Three Mile Island.
In addition, the licensees of all these plants which were not already shut down have voluntarily shut down their plants.
We have issued confirmatory orders to the Itcensees of all Babcock & Wilcox reactors like those at Three Mile Island to assure that necessary plant modifications, additional training and revised operating procedures will be effected prior to resuming operation.
Licensees of all operating plants utilizing pressurized water reactors have been instructed to take specific actions with regard to the status of certain equipment, plant procedures, operator actions and facility designs.
Licensees of all operating plants, including those utilizing boiling water reactors, have been instructed to provide us with additional information with regard to their facilities in light of the Three Mile Island accident.
In addition, substantial effort is being expended within this agency to evaluate the factors I
which contributed to the Three Mile Island accident and to prevent a sfailar occurrence in the future.
We will carefully review all the information obtained and developed as a result of the Three Mile Island accident and take whatever further action is das ed appropriata.
Sincerely, J.,

Dear Mr. Hendrie:
Pennsylvania has been a state very open toward nuclear power plants / nuclear energy.
We have at least six co=pletely constructed nuclear power plants and at least four nucle.ar power plants being constructed.
We need more measuring devices for measuring radiation levels given off from nuclear power plants not just a few near its sites.
The Three Mile Island accident has shown that wind carries various radioactive particles many miles away from the site.
The monitoring devices themselves need improvement since many give inaccurate information as shown during the Three Mile Island crisis.
The Peachbottom Nuclear Power Plant is having problems.
As of Thursday, June 21, 1979 around 5: 00 o' clock P.M. 65 above the normal radiation standard of emmissions was released from the Peachbottom Plant and 16% on Friday, J'une 22, 1979 around 5:00 o' clock A.M.
The aforementioned is an example of why better and more monitoring devices are needed.
Nuclear power plants are unsafe and constantly suffer frem various problems which lead to high radioactive emmissions from the plants.
The public should I
know what and how much they are being exposed to.
Another concern with regard to Three Mile Island is the water in the containment building.
Will that water be judged purified and dumped into the Susquehanna River?
You must not allow this to happen -- Tritum can never be removed from the water.
7ery,truly yours, Iunice J. Burkett t
