UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 April 23, 2020 Patrick McDonnell Secretary Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Rachel Carson State Office Building P.O. Box 2063 Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063

Dear Secretary McDonnell:

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your letter of April 6, 2020, addressed to Chairman Svinicki regarding the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2)

License Transfer. Your letter expresses concern regarding the transfer. Further, a response letter dated April 13, 2020, to you from the presidents of GPU Nuclear and EnergySolutions, copying Chairman Svinicki, was also received.

Because the NRC has received requests for an adjudicatory hearing on the matter, your letter bears on what is now a contested proceeding before the Commission. For that reason, it would be inappropriate for the Commission to respond to the questions in your letter or to comment generally on the matter at this time. This is because the Commission must remain impartial during the pendency of the proceeding.

Additionally, your letter requests a briefing of your staff from the NRC staff and the applicant as well as a local PSDAR public meeting. These requests are being referred to the technical staff to provide a response.

A copy of your letter, the GPU Nuclear/EnergySolutions letter, and this response will be served on the participants in the TMI-2 license transfer proceeding.

Sincerely, Annette Digitally signed by Annette L.
