Washington, EC 20555 crr 00Cdff,g!!(. ;..EQ.j 3/j Eear Commissioner Asselstine Cn Nov 15, Bh, during a scheduled GW Ecad Show at the Cendwago TWP.
Eld., York Co., Ronald Toole stated: "'ie hve the naterial for new steam 6
generators." (Ref. Alice Herma
...Ph. 717-266-2h52)
Cn Nov. 27, 8h, at the TMI Ouservation Center, Steve Williams, GPU fadiological Engineer for Unit i and Er. Gary 3aker, GPU Manager for Radiological Mgt., rescended to retra Iavenport's inquiries about new steam generators by stating:
"Yes, we are negotiating for the narchase of new stean generators.
However, this doer not mean there is anything wrong with the present steam generators at Unit 1."
i*.iss Invenport's inquiries abcut the scurce of these purchases were net with nebulcus res7enses.
e (Iebbie Iavencert.... Sh : 717-70 0552).
Cn Nov. 28, a local newsman called G3U Public Felations Eirector Iou 6 a5 1
2edell.
Mr. Bedell reported :
"To the best of my knowledge G"U has not purchased any new stean Eenerators. "
'D.is controversy recuires investigative confirmation to establish:
1.
Eid GPU purchase steam generators during the Cyster Creek sale several years ago or from any other source at any other time?
2.
k'ere the Steam generator tubes at TMI Unit 1 in such jeonardy that GDU was able to foresee the necessity of replacement li) the near future, thus the C/' ster Creek purchase?
3 Cr, has CDU envisioned a method of turning a purchased error or regrettable investi1ent into a bonanza by fcisting Cyster Creek's cancelled reactor steam generators onto the hanless Met.Ed. ratepayers to the tune of $100 million?

.Q' 4
Is G"U tushing.l diligently for restart 'in crder to regain the.
rate base only to shut down the plant coeration under the guise
..of steam generator failure;.thereby forcing the rate ayers to pay for the shut down and the stean renerator re71acement?
5 Are any of the NEC Cornissicners aware of the true intecrity of of Units l's stean generators or has the Cennission taken the word of the NEC Staff?'
2.e Ccenission would be well served if a closer look was taken regard-
. ing the consequences of restarting a nuclear reacter which suffers from damaged and weakened.stean generator tubes whose rerairs are cuestionable at Ltest:and could creete a chain of irreversible events.
Personally, I would not invest in a new stove, hot water heater of any other necFanical device, if the rresent ene is in goed crerating conditicn.

'le wculd appreciate an investigation te ascertain if GPU has in fact, purchased new steam generators from the Cyster Creek sale er from any other source and if so, what are the ranifications of such a purchase and how does it relate to the integrity of the present stean Cenerators at CU Thit !?
