Dear Sirs,

ca >

.q Three Mile Island Alert is concerned over the report

' yesterday that the NRC staff is proposing to waive an exami-a nat, ion of GPU's corporate management policies at Three Mile 4L Island and to instead focus on allegations of misconduct by individuals.

J We find it regrettable that your Executive Director for

{

Operations, William Dircks, has issued a memorandum recommending be that you not " expend time and resources to re-examine the

[

stated policies of the corporate institution."

We urge you to reject his proposal.

We believe one of li n

the most important uses of your time and resources would be to investigate GPU's established management policies and practices.

E h

Falsification of' leak rates and cheating on exams, we believe, were manifestations of GPU employees fulfilling manage-ment expectations, not independent individial actions, and

[

they should be investigated in that context.

]

It is apparent that management conveyed to workers that keeping the plant running was more important than taking actions

[

which would protect the health and safety of the community.

8 We continue to ask you to reevaluate GPU's management

~

competence.

f Ver truly yours, 9

[~
