Regulatory Commission

Washington, DC_

PoS55 Dear Mr. Denton I'm writing in response to a letter siEned by H. Dieckamp

[

,;enerator repairs. you on July of GPU and sent to 13, 1983 regarding TMI #1 s team i

I-

[

I find.his remarks preposterous regardine "...public interent In the subject."

If you surveyed 10 persons In Middletown,not ono h.

would;know what The Federal Register is nor where to find it.

[

-However, they.would all be. aware of the questionable steam tube g.

repairs.-

3-

' How can an average citizen really understand the technical L

aspects 'of the repairs without an ombudsnan-type or intervenor

[

funding? - You and the'NRC staff chould play that role.

f You and.the GRC staff continue to treat TMI #:. like any other i

IE& W reactor.

You.nore then anyone,know that the area population

[

deserves more then that.

This.B A W is part of a continuing

(

ateident.

[

I believe the NRC should not consider action on the steam ii tube amendment until a formal hearing in completed.

Hopefully, a e

public: Interest intervenor will be able to raise the necessary funds'and experts to present. E sides of this very important incue, I.believe the Commission should carefully consider the follow-p 4

ing, approach 1.

Publish NRC staff SER: 2.

Hold an NRC public k

information setsion in which NRC staff will explain the SER. In p

layman's language. to the interested general publics 3 Allow 30 6-day public comncnt periode 4.

Conduct formal hearings after the eemment' period

5..pnC makes decision on amendment, arter the 0

-feenal hearing in completed 6.

If decieion is to allow amendment.

[

then allow licensee to proceed with only non-nuclear hot runctional E

. testing for' a r utetantially longer time than normal: 7 NRC receiven results of lict r ces' hot testing an<' *.horoughly evaluates and re-l 1 eases the final reviews 8.

NRC in orporates formal hearing results f

-and public cent <nts into considerations and then considers whether to authorit? nuclear operation, pending resolution of other nerior -

t issues related to management intopity, conpetence, and the other questionable aspecte of GPU. operating a nuclear reactor at Tf/I.b l( h@

Mr. Harold Denton July lo, 1983 l

I believe you and the Commission should carefully consider my l

suggestions.

The public's confidenco, already chaky, could be l

greatly. enhanced regarding the NRC staff if the above are cerion";y considered and inplemented.

Any additional assis tance your are nt;>

can give to public interest intervenors would greatly advance a pocitive public view of the NRC and its staff.

Sincerely.
