Dear Chairman Palladino:
I am writing to urge most strongly that at your 7 September meeting, you act to vote on the question of returning the undamaged TMI-l unit to useful service.
The legal regulatory process has too long been delayed, and the related issues distorted by political and emotional tactics.
I am urging a return to reason in the equitable application of nuclear power regulation under the law.
With respect to your decision, I firmly believe that the two most significant issues, management integrity and cleanup of TMI-2, have been satisfactorily resolved.
The CPU Nuclear Corp, management is new, different, eminently well qualified, larger, more capable than the previous Met-Ed management.
It has measured up to the most exacting series of scrutinies ever focussed on a utility.
The TMI-2 cleanup has been thoroughly planned, and funding appears to be reasonably forthcoming.
(The startup of TMI-l will add to the flow of cleanup funds.) The THI-2 core is in a relatively benign state, with only the most stable fission products remaining, and an inconsequential amount of driving energy available for dispersion.
That plant does not now y
represent a significant threat to public health and safety.
[!.i Thus, I urge a vote for restart of TMI-l at the earliest possible time.
