Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.

20555 I

Dear Mr. Palladino:

I understand that the N.R.C.

is expected to vote in September on the restart of TMI No. 1.

I My first thought is, why was TMI No. 1 ever shut l

f down - ? - and, why has it taken so long to allow it to be restarted - ?

Has this just been giving in to anti-nuclear hysteria - ? - instead of acting in accordance with reason and logic - ?

I have had many years of experience as an electric utility engineer, with a wide variety of experience -

i and I'm sure that you know, as well as I do, that when a large, economical generating unit is taken off the line, its output must be replaced by the highest-cost units of neighboring utilitiea-(they naturally use their lower-cost units for their own customers).

It should be very obvious to anyone that keeping TMI No. 1 off the line has added considerably to the cost of electricity to GPU's customers.

(It has also caused a loss of dividends to GPU's stock-holders.)

Therefore, it should be very obvious that TMI No. 1 should be restarted promptly.

Therefore, I sincerely hope that logic and reason -

and straight thinking - will prevail, so that TMI No. 1 can be restarted in the very near. future.

I l

Sincerely, rycud{ fl h h t
