91? Hoffer Street Miidle own, FA 17C57 10 Aug.s: l??9 Secretary of the Cec: mission U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Ccemissicn 1717 H Street, N.'4.

'4ashington, D.C.

20555 Iear Sir:

On March 28 at Three Jtile Island, the worst nuclear disaster had occured. That, =y friends, time wise, is a long, long ti=e l

aEo.

i Since dat time, such has been said by Metropolitan Edison, GPU, NRC, and =any, =any resi:lents, either located near, at, or in the vicinity of IMI.

According to your rules, I wish to testify and voice my displeasure against the opening of TMI nu=ber 1 reactor.

I add the follcwing reasons why IMI 1 or IMI 2 shculd never be allowed to reopen as a nuclear plant.

1.

'4hether sanitoring devises be installed to collect data on centamination or radiation and the readings be posted, is not the question. The question is what are you doing to my health and the health of my family, friends and neighbors.

2.

The NRC companies involved have made the claim that no one has died, have been injured, etc., frem te accide'nt. Can you guarantee that not one person who is valuable to semeene who cares will not lose their lives over this accident? Can you g.arantee me that in the future, all this turmoil will pass and ncbcdy in the affected areas will be made to suffer any more because i

of your ignorance to allcw these plants to operate?

i 3.

Can you guarantee me that all de families in the area again can live in peace and hormccy wi.h out the fear of your i

sonsters on SII again creating mental problems for all of us?

'4hether these problems be large or small, we do not need them.

t 4

~4 hat about the people who reside nearer 9!! than I dc?

~4 hat is the status of their heri.th, their area, the wells that produced good drirk%g water?

'4 hat fears do they have or will they have concerning radiation? '4111 they be allowed t

i Secreta-y of te Ocnnissicn IC Aurast IC7C to lead te nc-a' life 2ey ence 'cew because of de two reac:crs built and cperated en D!I withcut prcper licensi.g and control by NEC?

5 Since the ec=panies involved and EC lied like hell, let us a m '-e a few more facts.

'"he fact. hat very =uch confusien existati in de beginning of this disaster and exis a to this day.

'4 hat if the help given by NRC to try to centrol *his prob 3 2m would be abandoned for scze reason or cder? 'Inat would happen to us residents in this area? Vculd n be evacuated? Ecw wculd te evacuation be cenducted? '4hc would conduct this evacuatien? ~4ho would be brave encugh to render the assis-tance and help we people, farners, etc., to clear the area?

~4ho wculd render the assistance to te sick, crippled and oder people deserving help? If tis accident tock place durin6

(

working hours, how would our wives and families be evacuated?

Would sece guardian angel conduct and cperate e=ergency plans in such a manner that everyone in the area would be evacuated i= mediately? '4here would we evacuate to? '4ho would evacuate us safely? Who wculd protect mir heald for us? Would it be the utilities, NRC, or our lo, 1 and state govern =ents? You want to set a plant into operation which you have de right to license and to this date you do not have a plan to regulate cur health and safety. Ecv stgid de ycu think we a-e to allcw this to centinue. You license other plans all over te centry in a hapha::ard manner and you have no plans to regulate these plants.

You are allowing other plants to be built and have no plans to regulate this new construction.

'4 hat the hell for. Just to collect ycur federal gover= ment pay-check and put your time in to get on federal pension rolls?

fi. Let us together examine a very sericus problem in existance s

l even today. That it is a Icng, long tine since March 29. let us take a lock at S C 2 because you can not separate this plant frem SE 1.

let us lock at the con'=m*-nted water and the amcunt Sat must be dispesed of. Let us look at a crippled reacter that is very sdeh alive and producing another problem and ta: is KHYPTCN gases among other con +=4-=nts.

'4 hat is your scal as a licensing agency when cen*2mi-sted water was dumped into other people's drd-k4 g water and telling us that the cen*=md =nts are within the acceptable levels. Vculd any of you en this panel be brave enough to drink any of this d d-k'ag water? Just hcw nany people are you interested in killing *

'4 hat abcuth te I.TfpTCH j ases that are a problem? Ecw nany people will these gases affect?

'4 hat are the numbers that you will project dat will be affected in scme way, shape, or form. '4he der it be concer or men.al l

i

proble=s. Again I say what are 2e numbers dat te NRC is willing to deal in?

7.

'4 hat equipcent is available to seni or all these proble=s?

• he tes-imeny given sta ed dat the monitoring devices were no more reliable than training instru=ents used in sc=e training class. They contained no special calibration or sophisticatien.

No special features necessary to do a classA job. Since March 2c, neither the utilities, NRC, local or state governments have pested any such devices necessary and required to scnitor these problems.

8.

• here are other problem areas eat require surveillance, control and replating.

~4 hat we do not need is a pack of lies telling us that the problems have been held *o a H'_ um.

• 4e can el'm W :e.hese proble=s with or vi icut your help. At this point of tine, it dcesn't matter any more. *ihat I can tell you at "MI

\\-

is there will be no more TMI's.

Our health and the health of the surrounding coc:munities will not allow this. *4e =ust prevent any furthur S C's by c1csing these IMI's to nuclear energy. This is the reason I am interested in testifying in front of your agency.

Once a6ain, I want to state my reasons for my request. That being the health and safety of all of us who live in this area.

That is for myself, my families, and my neighbors. please grant ce this reqrist.

Respectively,
