Dear Chairman Palladino:
I am in receipt of your letter of January 31, 1984, which essentially reaffirmed the included decision of the Commission reached on January 27, 1984.
By letters of December 9, 1983 and January 27, 1984, I raised serious concerns felt by the residents of Pennsylvania and their elected officials regarding the Commission's actions.
I am particularly troubled by the apparent separation of the issues concerning the restart of Unit 1 from the problems which plague Unit 2, and the on-going criminal trial naming General Public Utilities in i
an eleven-count indictment concerning the falsification of leak rate dara.
Of more serious immediate concern are the recently-released findings of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) which document grave deficiencies in the ability of the local communities to respond to a life-threatening emergency should that arise at the Three Mile Island facility.
The results of the study are of critical importance to the restart issue, as no single issue is more important than the safety of local residents.
and their children.
Until we can be sure that the adequately protected in the event of an emergency,y are restart is out of the question.
In its decision of January 27, 1984, the NRC specifically conditioned its restart agenda on the status que and stated that "important new information" would require a reevaluation of the agenda.
Because the criminal trial concerns the conduct of the corporation and not named individuals, it seems in-appropriate to separate the responsibility of General Public Utilities from the actions of its employees.
I would therefore request further elaboration of the basis of the Commissions decision of January 27, 1984 in this regard; I think such elaboration is essential to the credibility of the Commission's actions in this matter.

Dear Senator Heinz:
55h I am responding to your letter of December 9, 1983, regarding the restart of Three Mile Island, Unit 1 (TMI-1).
In that letter you state your opposition to any further consideration of restart until all the outstanding issues before the Federal court'and the NRC are brought to a convincing conclusion.
The Commission's current views and plans regarding TMI-1 restart are set forth in the attached Notice to the Parties, which was issued on January 27, 1984.
Sincerely,
