MARINUS C. GALANTI 5 Menekish Lane Chatham, Massachusetts 02633

O December 3, 1979 Secretary of the Commission Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Att

Docking and Service Section I believe it is time to consider seriously placing the fear of "Three Mile Island" behind us and devote thought to the future of this indispensible energy source.oThe backing and filling relative to tne unfortunate circumstances surrounding the accident has run its course, and it has been beneficial' inasmuch as it has alerted the authorities to the need for greater vigilance as well as consummate safety measures to preclude the ever present possibility of human error.

To consider only the endless shoutings of the "No Nukes" or the shallow leadership of the 6Naders" and the "Fondas" would, in fact, be an unfortunate response to the serious problem. What

< we need is strong support for continuing research and development to eliminate the potential harm innate in that source of energy.

The United States is currently subject to foreign black-mail because we have been dilatory in our attempts to solve the energy problem. We diddle along in fear of the placard carrying ,

loud minority lending great weight to their droolings, while time l and circumstances place us deeper and deeper in the control of % '

insane dictators.  ;

The nuclear option is2. fine, diversified source of domestic energy. Let's put "TMI" back in operation as soon as possible.

SUBJECT:

THREE-MILE ISLAND ACCIDENT I would like to go on record in favor of nucicar power and further develop-ment of enhancement to the techniques and methods employed in using atomic

. energy. Of all the ways for generating electrical energy, this method is by far the safest and most advanced to date. There is no need for conflict between this source of energy and other energy; instead, we need to develop many types of energy. Each type has its place in our society, including things from wood burning stoves to solar energy.

(3 It is my opinion that nuclear energy is one of the safest ways of furnishing LJ electrical power and our government is remiss in not educating the people in exactly what takes place in an atomic energy generating plant, especially its safety precautions. We, in America, are being harassed by scare tactics while the other leading nations of the world are going about their business 7 of making steady improvements. Our citizens need to be reinforced in the i fact that America is safe and usually ahead of the world in many technical .!

areas such as atomic energy and solar energy.

Very truly yours,

& s. W William S. Benbow WSB/rtp .

Secretary of the Co==ission U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission Washington, D.C. 20555 Attn Docketing and Service Section -

Gentlemen:

I wish to make a statement pro =pted by the proceedings regarding the Three ,

Mile Island matter now before the Commission.

Our country faces a perrauent oil shortage. Neither billions of tax dollars ncr cultibillions of politician!s words are going to change this situation within our lifetimes. Hence it would seem in: perative that wo naxicize existing energy production technology use to insure rajor reductions in oil consumption.

You; as regulators, have no responsible alternative to the iz: mediate '

resumption of nuclear power plant construction, icmediate reduction of the utterly rediculous paper work lead time incident to new nuclear power installations and the speedy return to service of necleer power plants shut down for raintenance and other reasonw(such as the political shut down of TM-1)

(\ I think it is necessary to put the safety record of nuclear power plants in historical perspective. Since can started to gsnerate steam there have been boiler a.nd tank explosions, since Watts there have been cylinder heads blown off, flywheel explosions and locomotive collisions, and since Edison there have been electrocutions en d electrical fires. The sum t.otal of these accidents ad has involved a considerable number of human lives, bt.t our society has accepted this as an steceptable price for the benefits derived.

Why then all the tumult about Nuclear power plant seistywhen, as fas as I can determine, not one human has lost life because of a power plant nuclear incident. I am sad to say that my countrymen seen so ignorant of nuclear matters that I seriously recomend the Commission make a major effort to teach people that one nillirem picked up by sking at high altitudes is just as dangerous as one milliren absorbed from a nuclear power plant radiation leak.

So, if anti-nuclear people are going to deny us a source of reasonably priced power, then it will be completely reasonable to prohibit any activity, and particularly recreational, above five hundred feet of altitude, g Thank you, *

Re: Three Mile Island Unit I j Gentlemen:

The Mechanical Contractors Association of Eastern Pennsylvania represents the owners and managers of 200 construction firms which perform a broad scope of contract work on commercial, industrial,

(">]

( and institutional buildings and plants throughout 10 counties of Eastern Pennsylvania.

It is important to our contractors and to Penn-sylvania's business that Unit I of Three Mile Island be placed in operation as soon as possible.

Many projects contemplated by local industry have been delayed due to the uncertainty of the availa-bility and cost of electrical power. The loss of these important projects threatens the welfare of our communities and the economic lives of many of our citizens. The delays for construction projects are contributing to loss of jobs and wages and are curtailing the production upon which our area could prosper.

J f~h a

Nuclear Regulatory Commission December 7, 1979

(~T Page Two w/

Deferred business activity caused by the uncertainty of availability of efficient electrical power results in the loss of tax revenues to support our local governments. Unemployment is adding to the already staggering burden upon Pennsylvania's unemployment compensation funds.

A prompt return to service of Unit I at Three Mile Island is both critical and essential to the welfare of Eastern Pennsylvania.

Sincerely, A~~ ..

Dear Sir:

It seems there are plenty of opponents to the use of nuclear ener;y, primarily because its preannce enn exist uncoen and unknown to one, and there is not yet general understanding of it.

This is on the positive side for a chenLa. Thc cont airracnt of the Ihree Lille Island accident should be a tremendous encouraccrent for our no tion in the f o ce of our ce' vere enersy needs. Z1c f.ct that both design errors and human errors were present should have cyclt catastrophe. ITI IT DID HOT procent any serious dancer to the people who 'vork and live in the imacdiate environa of the plant.

rm

() It "'ould bc : mistrtko not to work for the Orcatcs t fcucible safety, just ac we do in Stc"1, coal, asbcates, and other work places. Also in the use of public hic h-wn/c. I note in panains that the greatect cause of carnsa c in America is tne autcrobilc, yet we do not ban its usc.

This country neede every sourco of encr;y that we can supply hone crown, including nuclcar.

DEAR SIRS:

I RESPECTFULLY URGE THE N.R.C. TO EXPEDITE THE START .UP OF THE UNDAMAGED METROPOLITAN EDISON NUCLEAR REACTOR AT THE THREE MILE ISLAND PLANT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

O PERSONALLY, I AM OPPOSED TO NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS NEAR POPULATED AREAS. HOWEVER, THAT QUESTION SHOULD RIGHTLY BE DECIDED BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION, AND NOT BY A SMALL VOCAL GROUP ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PROBLEM.

FINANCIAL FAILURE OF MET-ED WILL GAST A CHILL THROUGHOUT THE ELECTRIC UTILITY INDUSTRY AND THE FINANCIAL COMMUNITY NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THAT INDUSTRY AT i.THE VERY MOMENT THE UNITED STATES IS MOST VULNERABLE TO ENERGY SHORTAGES.

Dear Sir,

If the undartaged unit at three rile island racets the safety requirements of the U.R.C., I feel that it should. be put back in service as soon as practicable. Keeping this unit shut down for any other reason than safety to the public is not log: cal at this time. This country needs the energy provided by this nu. lear power plant, especially now, with the problers going on in the mi dle east with oil. As long as the problems are solved on the undamaged unit that caused the trouble and the lessons have been Icarned, I feel that letting unit 1 set there unused is practically crininal.

I Yours Truly,

Dear Sir:

FG Why is it that we cannot use available energy and put General Public Utilities TMI Unit 1, the un* "aSed reactor at Three Mile Island, into service. Any other nation in the world would not vaste this valuable co:::modity they would put this energy to good use. Here in Amerier it is always wait and see, or never make a decision.

1 In times as these today, it takes good coz: con sense decisions made swiftly to keep ahead of the times. The old adverb "He Who Hesitate Is Lost" is more true now then ever. Let's move ahead, please do not let the minorities dictate the terms when this country is based upon majority rule.

Please try to get this reactor into service without all the red tape and slow downs, let's keep America as independent as possible.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

4 Nuclear energy is of paramount importance fcr the National Security and welf are of the United States. We can no longer depend uoon oil producing nations for our energy needs.

Let us show the utmost resoect for those who have the knowledge arri credentials to soeak on th5.s subject of nuclear energy. We must not paralize this . industry as .some j wuuld favor. Moreover, we should expand this vital industry and along with it the  !

strength of our nation shall expand.

Our coal resources shali never measure against the many advantages of Nuclear s

Energy. The transportation of enal throughout the country may be . hindered greatly in time of a vtional crisis sue. as m, diasaster or truck or train strikes. The disadvantages of coal and it's related energy value as anajor source of national energy could very well place us in a moment of deep peril. We must have foresight and wisdom when we conclude our final discision on nuclear power. I shall say this; Let us give reco6nition, whers it is justly due , to the President of th2 United States. When we discuss nuclear energy we are c'.anding in the President's back yard. He has the credentials of this important  :

subject.

The .ccident at TMI Nuclear Facility was of a serious nature. There is nothing ,

built by man wnich is 100% fail-safe! We shall always have re+nical problens. There will be as in the past, present and future the elenent of human error. 1 Perhaos, the heavanly things are cerfect, however, we can not ascribe this to ,

Man and that which he has built.

The radiation leakage of TMI was so infintesnal it does not deserve mentioning '

other than it was greatly amplified. I firmly believe that the employers of TMI are professional and are ore qualified now than ever before. We "all" learn by our own nistakes. Looking back, Nuclear Power has had a good track record nation wide over the years.

Our best national conservation plan is to conserve orecious oil. We should innlenent every possible avenue available to us to conserve oil. ae must be just and unbaised by turning over the reins to the professionals. Let .us _ call a nechanic, ani engineer, a builder and repair TMI. In addition, all systems 'should be "G0" to start,-

up TMI unit no.1 reactor! Thank you. ,

Cordiall7 yours, '

To the President, Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. President:

I am 79 Years of age and long retired. Mr wife and I live on social Security, on a small pension and on dividends from savings of a lifetime. j There was a out in those dividends last year when General Publio j Utility Corp. reduoed its dividend because of the Three Mile Nuclear accident. l There was another out to-day when the entire dividend was discontinued at j least for the time being.  ;

I That hurts all retired people who own stock in GPU and the sad fact l is that the entire elimination of the dividend was probably unnecessary.

GPU spends 27 Million Dollars per month to purchase electricity for  !

their customers because of last years nooident to their Nuclear Reactor f 2 j and because the Nuclear Regulatory Consnission will not permit GPU to use l their Nuclear Reactor f 1 which is in perfect operating condition as good  ;

as many other Reactors of the same make and model but which are allowed to j

.m operate. i N,) '

Where is the justice - where in the fairness that allows the NRC [

i Dear Mr. Ahearnes i The customers of Metropolitan Edison have had to pay more for their electricity because reactor No; 1 has been shut down for nearly a year. This has also played a great part in making it necessary for the parent company, General Public Utilities Corp. to first reduce and then completely eliminate the dividend relied on by the thousands of its invest-ors for ,the use of their money.

Since all other Baboook and Wilcox reactors are allowed to operate it is difficult to understand why Met. Edison's no 1 should continue to be shut down. Does there not come a time when fairness would dictate that "enough is enough" and we cannot ruin the company. Brerybody f] would benefit by restoring No. I to serTioe.

You are in an important position to help. Will you put your shoulder to the wheel?

Thank youl

N I feel very strongly that the excess burden placed on General.

107 France Street Toms River, New Jersey 08753 Februa ry 13, 1980 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission t Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen:

When we opened our regular quarte. ly dividend envelope from General Public Utilities today we round the envelope empty.

We can't pay the high fuel rates with nothing. -

You have shut down the most economical operation at Three Mile Island, causing my power company to use higher cost fuel, which will increase my electric bill and provide me with no dividend check.

Gee, you really know how to burt the citizens BOTH ways. Raise their  ;

fuel bill and cut off their dividend income.

If that's " economy" or " government", let's have no more of that!

Please restore Three Mile Island back to operation and let the Os responsible management of GPU make decisions in the best interest of their costomers and stockholders.

You sure louse up an economy by your help. If you want to help out the citizens, keep your hands off of free enterprise. Let the invisible hand of Adam Smith guide our nations' businesses.

Permit men to be free to try. Free Three Mile Island to operate economically once again instead of costing me money two ways.

Most sincerely, Al~

PETER A. BROWN. orGarust and choirmaster 14 February,1980

. Mr. Richard T. Kennedy 1717 H Street NW Room 1159 Washington DC 20b55

Dear Mr. Kennedy,

p On Sunday,18 November,1979, the Rev. Dr. Wallace E. Fisher, senior pastor-of Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, preached a sermon on "The Springtime of Our Discontent: Lessons from Three Mile Island". Upon the unani-mous action of Trinity's Vestry, copies of that sermon are being mailed to key leaders in the church and in local, state, national, and international govern-ment. This sermon (enclosed) deserves your attention for three reasons.

1) The sermon was preached within the Three Mile island area. Trinity Church, a congregation of 2300 members located in downtown Lancaster, is only 20 miles from TMI. Many members live.within 10 or 15 miles of the reactor site.

Trinity's clergy and members experienced at first hand toe accident at TMI.

2) Doctor Fisher is an especially knowledgeable and insightful preacher and historian. A graduate of Gettysburg College and the Lutheran Theological Seminary.

at Philadelphia, he earned a Master of Arts degree in history from the University of Pittsburgh. He has served as a Professor of History at Gettysburg College, and completed all course work and oral examinations in the doctoral program in history at the University of Pennsylvania. He holds honorary degrees from Gettysburg College (D.D.) and Susquehanna University (Litt.D.). Doctor Fisher has served in the parish ministry for over thirty years. He is the author of 11 widely read books on pa'rish renewal and on the dynamics of religion in American life. He is a nationally and internationally sought after preacher, teacher, and conference leade r. In 1978 he was named a Distinguished Pennsylvanian.

3) In this sr .;n Doctor Fisher presents solid and compelling scientific, moral, and theole al reasons why he is opposed to the use of nuclear power for the production oi Jomestic energy as well as to the nuclear arms race. Doctor Fisher's stance is shared by Trinity's associate pastors, the Vestry, and hundreds ,

of Trinity's members. We urgently ask you to read, reflect upon, and make decisions on this issue in the light of the concerns expressed in this sermon.

O For the Vestry, bafAr i

k The Hon. Peter A. Bradford Commissioner U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission j Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Commissioner:

This letter is to express my concern over Three Mile Island.

Little did I expect several years ago when i purchased 500 shares of

(]) GPU stock that such a disaster would happen (at least that is what the news media described it as, although there was no more exposure.

to radiation by the people nearby than there.would be from a chest x-ray).

I realize that we as a nation need nuclear energy to supplement our coal, oil and hydro power plants. We cannot afford to shut down nuclear energy plants that are now in operation, nor should we stop the develop-ment of those that are in the process of construction (which would mean l a great financial loss to everyone). I am firmly against this. However, I do believe that everything should be done to make them safe in the future.

I, as a stockholder and a concerned citizen, urge you to do whatever possible to expedite both the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island Unit I to safe operation as quickly  ;

as possible.

-, '2/14/80 l )s The Hon. Susan Shanaman, Chairman Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission P.O. #3265 Harrisburg, Pa. 17120

Dear Ms. Shanaman,

Who is on the moral side' of the argument about who should _ pay the bill for electricity supplied to customers of Metropolitan Edison Co.?

It it they who march and shout for the purpose of making the utility appear to be the evil one, solely responsible for tdue problems that have occurred, or is it the stockholders who " loaned" their savings so that these publicly-approved and controlled facilities.might be built and operated?

The Marchers &' Shouters conjure up a picture of a mythical " owner".

He is presented as some evil, greedy, diabolical person who has somehow created a monopoly for himself and is bledding the helpless people to add to his vast ill-gotten gains. His profits are " obscene".

Technically, the owners are. thousands of people like myself who loaned their savings at a reasonable rate of interest so that this facil .

ity might be built and operated.

7 But who is the owner? For practical purposes, the owner is the people who use the electricity to light their street, to light and heat their homes, and to provide power for all kinds of manufacturing and service facilities.

t l

It is these people who through Eheir representatives in government-decide what, how and when the utility may make a' move and how much it may charge for' services rendered.

l I hope you will maintain perspective h1 handling this situation.

l That will'not be easy in the face of existing hysteria. I believe you l

have the responsibility to be'oljective, keeping in-mind that every altern-l ative to nuclear energy has its own hazards and disadvantages. If we f ail to exercise sound judgement in our policy-making institutions, what hope is there for our future as a free and prosperous nation?

Thank you.

Gentlemen: ,

At a time vehen all forces of government; local, state, and federal; administrativp and legislative, should be exerting all possible efforts to facilitate the develop-ment of energy - especially nuclear - they appear to be doing everything possible to hinder such efforts. A prime example is that of General Public Utilities Corporation.

The regulatory commissions cf both New Jersey and Pennsylvania have exercised absolutely dilitory tactics in reviewing GPU's requests for rate relief so that electrical power can be provided the residents of their respective states.

Actually the Corporation should probably close up shop and let Pennsylvanians and Jerseyites whistle in the wind for their power, and experience one big continuous

" Brown-out".

Unfortunately this malaise permeates officialdom through-(]) out the United Staten, and it appears we will soon be relegated to third class status internationally. It would pleasant to go back to the 1890's' " horse and buggy days", but we can not afford it. Russia, France, andfall the European nations are proceeding full speed ahead with development of nuclear power. This writer had the opportunity last fall of visiting several European countries. The people.there regard we Americans as very naive and Duvenile in our attitudes toward nuclear power,-and they believe we lack the necessary governmental leadership to develop power sources essential to maintain a positive position in the world today. That is one facet in the present low regard for the American dollar - at least according to those Europeans. These were intelligent people, and this writer is inclined to go along with their analysis. Unless there are some drastic changes in our governments! present attitudes, we are in for big trouble.

Sincerely, ,

Mr. John ?: Ahearne Chairarn U.S. Unclear Regulatory Cotoission i

Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

Enc 1csed is a letter from the General Public Utility Corporation to the stockholders of the corporation concerning the omission of the common dividend. I hold stock in a numbe.r of public utility companies and I have followed the trouble at the Three Mile Island Flant of the Metropolitan Edison Codpany as well as other nuclear plant situations.

It is time that all those concerned with the nuclear power plant problems cope with the problems instead of " passing the Buck" which is the favorite pasatime of governmental workers. All that we hear in the news is a lot of crying about " leaks" at plants and about shutdooms, etc. The oil problem of the United States can be handled more easily if there was less talk and more work. There is a completed nuclear plant in California that is owned by the Facific Gas and Electric Co. and another next to the first that will be completed soon if it isnt t finished now and neither of

() these plant s are being used because of " red tapeH.

I was an artillery officer in the United States Army for thirty-one years and I undarstand the capabilities of nuclear fusion. I taught this course at the U.S. Army Command & General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth.

3 The press keeps scaring the American people about dangers of nuclear power j plants and this information comes from your agency. I should like to point 2 out to you that what your agency is so afraid of is nothing at all compared j to just one explosion of a nuclear weapon and nobody in the government seems j to worry about the possibility of war with Russia. The voy that the govern-j ment in Washington is operating, the American people will be ready to give

up without a fight for the fear of nuclear tar.

, I cuggest that your agency and the state agencies get to week and l get the nuclear power industry back to work at once and stop passing the buck, j The Number One plant at Three mile Island has been unused for over a year

! through no action. You politicians complain about the high cost of power j cnd you don't want the people to pay the high prices but nothing is done to l get the job done. I believe that people that work for the government think j aboet their pension so much that they do nothing as one cannot be blaned for

{ wrongdoing if he does noth&ng.

1 E I am writing this letter to indicate my thoughts on the nuclear power situation and you need not take the time to answer it as your time is needed a to get the nuclear power industry back on line working for the people of the United Stat ee.

Chairman As an lingineer,(Civil not Nuclear) I an of the oppinion that I all energy sources should be explored and arececsed to the fullest, in order to insure against the day when conventional fuels are exhausted or depleted beyond economical balances. It is conceivable that when fossil fuels become short in sunnly , and atomic or nuclear energies have been curtailed that there will be insufficient time and/or capital available to catch-up to future demands fo r energy in our nation and the world. Surely the nations economy, as now relateddirectly to enerry, will expand and advance. - Let us not be short-sighted now to the extent of curtailmes:t of t-uclear energies for peacetime purposes. Let us continue studies on solar and other types of energies, and at the same time with stu< lies for the safe use of those nuclear facilities nresently available to us. Presently Three Mile 1sland 92 (Tril-2) has been referred to as a concrete sculpture monument, but let us remember that it did O heve sar1r and eacx-un reetures in 1 did esee"tietty ereve"t the dreaded melt-down last Idarch.

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

I own 1,100 shares of General Public Utilities Corporation whose future financial health depends on the actions taken by the regulatory commissions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and a number of other government agencies and officials. It appears to me that the rate relief requested by the corpora-tion's subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island's Unit One to safe operation is essential for all concerned. This includes the consumers of the power as well as stockholders cuch as the writer whose retirement income depends on the dicidend from this corporation. Arything you could do to help would be deeply appreciated. Very truly yours, Harold . Leedy HJL:lrb [) s l l

1 ! The Hon. Richard T. Kennedy 3 Commissioner j U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 { l

Dear Commissioner Kennedy:

l l This letter is an expression of my concern for the energy problems our j Country faces. I am a graduate Chemical Engineer; a Registered Professional Engineer 4 in Chemical and Mechanical Engineering; served on active duty in the U. S. 3 Army in World War II, Korea and Vietnam as an Officer in the Chemical Corps 1 and Corps of Engineers. Between wars I was employed as an engineer on the i() j design, manuf acture and installation of gas, oil and coal-fired boilers by boiler manufacturers. Further, I have been retained as an expert witness by attorneys involving boiler explosions (none of these boilers derived their l heat from nuclear energy). 1

My comments are as follows

t t j As you know, I am sure, our Country must conserve energy and in particular j oil. If we should again get involved in another war, no matter how large our j manpower forces in the various branches of the service, we cannot attain suc-

;              cess if adequate fuel is not available. This was one of the principal causes i               of defeat of the Hitler forces in World War II.

4 t In my professional opinion, to conserve fuel, the use of nuclear energy should be encouraged. This has not been done but instead has been discouraged

!              through misleading and inaccurate reporting involving the Three Mile Island

situation. No person, I am told, was hurt in this incident and the exposure l to any radiation was probably less than one would get when x-rayed in a hospital or dentist chair. On the other hand, boilers fired with gas, oil and coal have

exploded and resulted in deaths.

1 i The great progress our Country has made in the development of aircraf t, i automobiles, generation of electrical energy, etc. would never have occurred j if these industries had to cope with the many regulatory agencies, commissions 4 { l 1

O and misleading news reporting involving TMI. As an example of inaccurate news reporting, I heard recently that the leakage of krypton gas through a valve at TMI released radiation to the atmosphere. Chemically, this is completely wrong as krypton is an inert gaseous element having one of the most stable atomic structures of the hundred or more chemical elements known to mankind. Further, it is present in the air we breathe and are exposed 24 hours a day. Finally, the Government should stimulate the use of nuclear power (this is considerably different than atomic weaponry) and educate the public to the necessity for its use. Thase companies such as General Public Utilities, and the other electric utilities, as well as boiler manufacturers involved in the generation of electrical energy from nuclear energy should be encouraged rather than harassed. They have been the pioneers in this field. Further, they must be compensated for their work in a fair and equitable manner in order that they have the financial means to continue their work. This, I do not believe, has been the case with owners of TMI. Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:

As a stockholder in General Public Utilities Corporation, as well as some other public utility companies, and a large user of electric power as a manufacturer, I urge you to use your influence to see that this utility receives fair treatment from the re-gulatory agencies involved, and the Public Utility

Dear Mr. Chairman:

I have about five hundred shares of G.P.U. stock which my husband and I have acquired in a number of years as a security for our old age. Since my husband is self-employed, he has no pension of any kind. We have sacri-ficed very hard to put some money aside so we wouldn't be a burden to the State and Federal Government. I know that nuclear power is a dangerous source of energy, but there is no reason for G.P.U. to be penalized because all other companies are still operating and there is always O a chance of danger by them. Now because G.P.U. has taken such a great loss in operating, because they are still not allowed to operate Unit 1, I think it is very unreasonable. Unit 1 is not damaged and could produce the energy that they need and have to buy. Because of this, the dividend that we have counted on so very much has been terminated. Because we are senior citizens and aren't able to work anymore,(I'm 66 and my husband is 69) I feel that everything is unfair. Either the government shuts down all nuclear power plants, or let G.P.U. operate! Help, because we need it, i L Sincerely yours, terY? *% ' Mrs. Concetta Pino l l f i l i I J

Dear Sir:

All the undersif3ned are shareholders in the General Public Utilities Corporation, and are all presently living in retirement. It, therefore, becomes a matter of grave importance to us when we learn that the Company has omitted the latest dividend, because of increased expense, decreased income, and pressure from creditors. We feel tnat two immediate steps can be taken by your Commi-saion and other regulating agencies to help the Companies economics-as follows: (1) Permit the return of Three Mile Island Unit #1 to opera-tion as quickly as possible, after thorough inspection, and under con-tinuing government supervision and inspection. (2) Expedite the rate relief requested by the Company as nece-

scary, in the light of the unusual, burdensome expense that it has in-l curred.

1 i Our concern may be selfish, because we rely upon dividends

in our retirement budgets, but, in a larger sense, we are also

! cerned about our country 8s dependence upon the import of foreis, con- .1 0 3 1 . j Q If electric power can be created from coal, oil shale, or nucle.ar en-ergy, it will mean that production from these sources can icssen the j hold that these oil barons have over our economy, our politics,our . lives. In short, they haire us over " an oil barrel", and we, as Ameri-j cans, do not like it. t' 3 in conclusion, we feel that, if the General lublic U;ili-

ties f acilities were inspected and permitted to operate to produce j energy from nuclear power, great benefits would accrue to cll.

l 8 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission l Washington D.C. 20555 Attention: The Hon. John F. Ahearne

Dear Sir:

I am writing to you because i am a great believer that the future of our country as far as energy is con-cerned, will depend upon nuclear. power if we are to maintain a high standard of living and lead the world in progress. Therefore, I humbly request that you expedite as quickly as possible, the return of the use of Three (]) Mile Island Unit 1. If we are to maintai n our present position of strength in the world, and also to utilize our power and energy, it is imperative that one of the things we can do to accomplish this is to see to it that we utilize the Three Mile Island Unit 1 as quickly as possible.

                                                                       'ps pec t f ul    s bmit,ted, x <lt$/

Dear Sir:

As an investor in the General Nblic Utilities Corporatien

v;ish to urge vou to do all in your power to restore this company to its potential in the production of electricity.

Surely you are aware that the generatinn of electricity is of nrime importance to the whole country. This company has proven over the many years of its operation that it has always been and now is a well-rerulated and r.anared comnany - I would extend this to say that it is one of the finest. Even in this great catastrophe manarement has taken hold and nerformed magnificently. Except for all the adverse and continuing exploitation by all the media this accident most likely would have been treated as any other accident, be it in a mine, on a rail-f road, a blackout, etc. And it is still being kent in the j j minds of the public in a very adverse manner. i i Proof of the inteFrity cf this company lies in the fact that it reduced its dividends from h$d to 2$d per s'are and has now completely eliminated the February 1980 dividend. l I depend creatly on dividends of my small investments and j feel the loss of them immensely. However, I feel that I am a fair-minded person and do all in my power to understand the other 's side. For this reason I would urre you to be reasonable and fair to this company and their many investors and do all in your power to help it recoup and restore opera-tions as cuickly as possibic. This to me would be the l American 7ay. l Sincerely yours,

                                                                      ,hktg[Lo            >

According to the January 23, 1980 Report of the Special Inquiry .l Group directed by Mitchell Rogovin, they admit, "These problems are j not unique to Metropolitan Edison". Their report also states that j Metropolitan Edison's combined average NRC licensing exam test scorea i were above the national average, and that the inadequate training that ! pl a yed a role in this accident must be attributed not to one utility j but rather to the industry as a whole and to the NRC. 4 Why, af ter the Commission assumed the undamaged Unit 1 at Three Mile ' Island would be back in service by January 1,1980, (which would j relieve a financial burden of $14 million dollars a month) do they now say it cannot return to service before next f all? ! We have followed this matter closely as stockholders who depend on lp 3 t v dividends to supplement our Social Security and are very discouraged at the unfavorable picture the PUC and NRC, as well as the press, seem to paint of this problem as though Three Mile Island had caused j much more damaEe to the public than it has. Train wrecks causing j evacuations due to poison gases and truck accidents which happen quite j q of ten causing similar problems are soon forgotten, but this is like Watergate, it goes on and on until finally it now appears as though , gl General Public Utilities is dealing with the question of whether l g bankruptcy is not is only alternative. Until an alternate energy source replaces Nuclear power this problem will remain to be solved, so will you please use your high office to } see that this fine Company does not have to Eo out of business in the meantime? Who knows but what one of the many similar companies will . have just such a problem and we f eel sure the Federal or State j governments do not wish to take over the utility industry. ?

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

As a stockholder in General Public Utilities I am writing to urge that the Three Mile Island Unit I be allowed to return to service at the earliest pocsible date. I am not especially a supporter of nuclear power, and certainly not in favor of its uncontrolled proliferation. Powever, at the present time nuclear power is what we have, and it has many advantages in our present energy situation. O I can nee no advantage t,o anyone in allowing a company such as GPU to be unduly penalized, perhaps to the point of bankruptcy. Rather, I request you to make every effort toward resupption of operations of their usable facilities.

Very truly yours, ,>

Bradford, Commissioner U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Tashington, D.C . 20555 Dear Mr. Commissioner-f I urge you to do everything in your power to expedite the i i, return of Three Mile Island Unit 1 to safe operation as i l quickly as possible. After all,this unit was not damaged in the Three Mile Island accident on March 28, 1979, and I could be returned to operation in short order to produce i i the energy we need so badly and to cut down the consumption j of oil which I am sure is being used in the generation of l some of the electric power that General Public Utilities i ' Corp. is at present being forced to purchase from other utilities because Three Mile Island Unit 1 is shut down. There has been some talk on GPU taking tankruptcy proceed-ings. This would not be in anyone's best interest, and could be made more remote by returninE the undamaEed unit - to operation quickly, thereby alleviating the monumental  ; l financial problems confronting current management, and at the same time decrease the use of oil as mentioned above, I with all its associated benefits.

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

I, like the majority of the stockholders of ' General Public Utilities am a senior citizen and we are dependent on income from this investment. 4 1 As a citizen I would like to question the cor- ! rectness of your Commission's decision not to allow i TMI #1 plant to reopen. I believe your decision dis-I criminates against a company that badly needs all the ! help it can get. As you know it makes them buy high- ! priced electricity for millions of it's customers, j() much of it oil produced. Not only does your decision greatly weaken the company, angers their customers because of increased electric rates, but also causes ! increased consumption of high-priced oil. i This week's Time magazine has an article on the f French view of atomic power which to me was refreshing j to read. Like the French President says I believe the i French are handling their energy requirements with I common sense and intelligence. There is no " Jane Fonda l S yndeme" there. 4 l I appeal to the Commission's fairness to allow l this plant which has as good a record as many plants now in operation to resume energy production. l } l Sincerely yours, l ? / , f l 6 fletad[2 D v l James F.

        ' washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:                       Subjects 3 hi. 1sland Problem Unless the public is getting the wrong picture, Your Re6mlatory Ocmmission is causing more ham than good.

It appears you are causing certain utility companies to face possible bankruptcy by tryin6 to "over-regulate" liuclear Power Production efforts. t ) We are told, from many sources, that there is more danger and hamful effects from coal operated. power plants than from nuclear operations under standard safeguards and present facilities. be It appears the commission may^ unduly influenced by "hi 6 hly vocal" minorities j who would like nothing better than to destroy this nations efforte in j the nuclear energy field. i { Utility companies researched and engineered these nuclear projects at i Ereat length, and at 6reat expense, before a sin 61e plant was built. j The public has paid millions of dollars, both by way of Utility rates ~ and by direct investment to finance this 6reat source of ener6y; Now, q why can't we 6et on with it and reep the benefits of investment at a time this ener6y 18 80 Ereatly needed? Also of concern is the individual investment of thousands of individual ! citizens who have " loaned" their life savings (via stocks & bonds) to ! help finance this hu6h effort, and with the ultimate hope of some little retirement income. Now to see our government, through one of its reSu- [ ! latory agencies, so encumber the efforts of well managed companies that they go broke try to comply. f. f I am of the opinion the utility companies know more about how to operate !' a nuclear plant than any 6overnment a6ency which does not have a dime infested in the operation; bo, wouldn't it be a good idea to "6et off i their back" and let them get on with the job? I Respectfully pu' itted, f '

Dear Gentlemen:

t Re: GPU'S Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plants ) I strongly favor early res toration to operation of the .

subject plants consistent witn their readiness to comply ,

{ with prudent sa fety regulatione, necessary repairs, and i trained manpower requirements . I'm certain th a t th e U . S . energy program and balance of trede paynents vould benefit [ from your expeditious action onthis tratter. In addition, [L GPU s tockholders , o f which I am one, migh t thereaf ter re- ( cover the losses auf fered in dividenc% and capital as a  ! consequence o f those plants ' cloc u re . I further suppor t s trongly rate increases requested by GPU in its struggle g to survive its se".ous accident at TMI ?. I believe GPU L tobe one of the better mar: aged U.S. corporations, one which has not reques ted governmental innured loans nor I curried favor, and which deserves your support. I I an a strong advocate of nuclear power es a vital means of solving oar current energy and econcmic problems, I think that nuclear power plant cons truction, licensing, and operation should be expeditiously expanded, not curtailed, in this period while we are developinGev energy acarces such as Solar. O It would seem to me that a logical s tep now would be to  ; initiate a program engineered with Naval nuclear ship design as a r.ndel. To my knowledge the Navy's program  ! has been succeasful and safe. An interesting concept , might be to build many naval nuclear power plants and to , provide flcatir:g ins tallations th roughou t th e U . S . A . Such an arrangemen t might provide increased safe ty against  : earthquakes and floods , and permit increased security. .s If the Navy were asked to operate these plants it could (. be of great value in ' o rms o f taking advantage of Naval [ experience and b.aw-hov, and in adding a new dimension to L naval training and manpcwer supply capabilities. 1 r: t. As an extensive and continuing benefit to th e U . S . economic, I I indus trial , and military strength I urgo you to take the above actions as a matter of the hichest and most vital o importance and urgency. Respectfully,

                                                                                                                                               .-J

Brown Re:        General Public Utilities Corporation Not all General Public Utility stockholders are wealthy,      Some of us are retired and depend on the dividends for our very existence.

My personal situation is perhaps typical. My 419 shares represent an investment of $7,699. I was receiving dividends of $1.76 per share, or $737.44 per year. My shares are now worth $2,880 - a loss of $4,819. My dividend in-(] come is now zero. Public Utility regulating agencies, in their attempt to protect the public, forget that we investors are also the public, and that we thousands of investors provide the financing for light and heat for millions. Investors' confidence ir. public utilities controlled by government and boards is indeed shattered when the investor is held solely responsible for the nuclear accident. Perhaps the regulating agency should share the cost because of its failure to foresee and prevent the tragedy. When utility rates are regulated and earnings limited, the government -- l state and federal - the users and the regulating agency should all share in this loss. I urge that you take the necessary action to spread the cost of the accident to all involved. May I please hear from you.

Dear Sir:

I would like to take the time to express my concern as an inflation haunted citizen in reference to the continual delay on what I consider the unnecessary complications involved on increasing our nuclear and coal energy basis sources as an alternative to coal usage. A perfect example of,this obstruc-tion is the interminable delay on the reopening of the usable energy flow from Three Mile Island. g As a direct result of this continual delay, I and millions (/

s. like myself are faced with steadily mounting utility bills.

It is understandable to me that these utility costs are necessary; but as a concerned citizen, I am infuriated at this need for paying constantly escalating prices for in-creased dependence on OPEC oil. It would be appreciated by myself and I am certain the over-whelming majority of other normally non-vocal citizens if representatives of the public such as yourselves would remove the bars that make non-oil based energy a reality. Sincerely,  ! 1 I

t All nuclear units not in operation because t

The benefits to America far outweigh any risks, mostly imagined.

The Hon. Victor Gilinsky Commissioner U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 1

Dear Sir:

i The continuation of various Public Utility Commission regulations that continue to disallow utility rate increases are a contributing factor to the unsettled and disquieting feeling that exists in America and the continuing belief that govern-ment in America in incompetent. A firm stand by the public regulators of utilities which would allow the utilities to recover their startling cost increases and at the same time make a reasonable profit, would benefit everyone. The way in which the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Public iltility Commissions have handled the General Public Utilities Corporation problem is an excellent example of extremely poor judgement exercised by individuals that can only be judged as uninformed members of any public regulatory body. A Free enterprise has long ago been buried by Government bureaucracy. Ilowever, V a faint glimmer of fairness and honesty still exists in the eyes of a few and it too will become clouded and die if the present utility regulatory attitude continues to prevail. You are in a. position to take a big step forward in bringing America back to a. position of dominance and pride. One way for you to do this is to make sure utilities are not destroyed by the destructive activity called " Government Regulation". , Utility rates must be raised considerably to cover the continually escalating fuel and labor costs. If someone must be punished for these high rates, let it be the American j public as a whole, since it is through their constant desire for wage increases and their lack of desire to conserve energy, that these problems arise. i Sinpepely,

                                         }

3 Mile Island

Dear Sir:

I am a small stockholder in General Public Utilities. As you know they have stopped naying dividends which I sorely need in my later years. Will you please tell me why it has taken the government so long to approve operation of the damaged unit at 3 Mile Island. If the company is to blame it's one thing - if the government is dragging its feet, I want to write to my representatives and see if some changes can be considered. Sincerely, p / C *

The Honorable Victor Gilinsky Commissioner U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Sir:

I am asking your consideration to do all in your power to expedite both the rate relief requested by General Public Utilid.es subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island Unit I to safe operation as quickly as possible. () Granted, the Three Mile Island accident was a scare but no lives were lost. When you consider the number of citizens who would have gainful employment, also you must consider the lives lost in the coal mines, Nuclear Energy is far safer. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, ,.

                                                                       -             (q ,

Dear Sir:

I am taking the liberty of writing you concerning the re-j cent action of General Public Utilities Corporation. Spe-a cifically, the GPU Board suspended dividend on the Common i Stock in order, as they expressed it, to preservo the fi-J nancial integrity of the corporation. l The main purpose of this letter, as a shareholder in the Corporation, is to express my sincere hope that officials

,           such as yourself will use the power of their office to ex-

! pedito the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and i return of Three Mile Island Unit 1 to safe operation. 1 As a retired professor, I have invested a considerable part of my assets in utilities. Naturally, interruption of the dividend from GPU represents a real personal problem. I realize these problems are very complex, but your consider-

  /'S       ation of this letter will be most appreciated.      It is my kl        earnest wish that the matter may be resolved as fairly and equitably as possible.

Very sincerely,

                                                       /U/B 'h*

Dear Mr. President:

i'le feel that the General Public Utilities Corporation is being unduly punished. The extended,,and we believe unreasonable, - procedure uandated by the IIuclear_ regulatory Connissions of both !!ew Jersey and Pennsylvania and by_a . number of other government agencies and officials are putting such a finan-cial burden on the GPU~it nay well be deu*royed. I!uclear power, handled right, and from now on it WILL be hand-led right, is as safe and cleaner and less expensive than nost any other developed power resource. Why should the utility companies be forced unnecessarily to purchase thousands of barrels of expensive foreign oil when we have the means of nuc-lear power rir;ht here. lie urge you to do all in your power to expedite both the rate relief requested by GFU's subsidiaries and the return of Three O I?ile Island Unit 1 to operation as quic'ly as possible.

Dear Sir:

With reference to the Three Mile Island Unit 1, I cannot understand why this unit has not been restored to service before this. The longer this unit is left idle you are contributin6 to the waste O of oil and coal reserves and addin6 to the high cost of supplying power to the public. Nuclear Generator Power will serve us well for many years in the future, as far as safety goes more people have been killed in mining accidents than were hurt by Nuclear Power. So why not get Soing and stop wastin6 money and cuasin6 more inflation. Yours trbly, O

Dear Mr. President:

We, at the present time, see no reason why nuclear Unit #1 at Three Mile Island in Penna. should be kept off the line. The present situation can only increase power cost to consumers, endanger the financial status of the company and deprive the small stockholders of l dividend income necessary to sustain themselves. May we suggest that permission to start up this unit be given and

                                                                                          ]

that this start up and operation be monitored by qualified technical l personnel from both the N.R.C. and industry for a period long enough to L assure its safe use. Sincerely yours, 78W4

Why don't we return Three Mile Island Unit 1 to operation as soon as possible? The financial problems of the utili-ties involved in the operation of this facility points up the cheapness of electric power generated by nuclear fis-sion and with very little risk to human life. I believe that nuclear power is the foremost way of reducing our use of imported oil. An article in this week's Time magazine is very timely and states that the French Government is moving quickly into nuclear power as a solution to their oil problems. The French are even going ahead with breeder reactors, fusion, (~3 x' v:hereas vie are afraid to start testing the feasibility of such generation. Our country could wind up in second place after France and Russia. Also, the aren served by General Public Utilities will suffer economically if we continue to disallow cheaper rates for electricity to take place not to mention the financial condition of the operating utilities and the side effects this is having on all other utility com-panies in the United States. The finacial health of New Jersey and Pennsylvania is in your hands. Let's stop making this a political foot-ball. Sincerely, .

Dear Sir:

1 l It has been nearly a year since the accident involving ! Three Mile Island Unit 2. I confess I am perplexed as to why TMI Unit 1, which was not involved, remains shut down.

What purpose is being served by continuing this shut-i down? Safety? I think not. Certainly all steps that can be j taken to insure safe return to operation of this unit have been 2 taken. What of the many similar nuclear plants which were shttt-l down for only short periods and allowed to go back on stream, g

Why is TMI Unit i different from those? It is unfair to the customers and stockholders or this lQ j utility to have to shoulder the continuing increased costs re-sulting from this extended shutdown. This " punishment" of GPU l i has been carried far enough. The only ones who are really being j punished are the customers and stockholders. l Please try to see through the smokescreen of hysteria j that is being fanned by certain elements who would like to see our technology set back 40 years by doing away with nuclear energy. I urge you to stop this unjust treatment of innocent We need people and bring an end to this unreasonable shutdown. 4 j nuclear energy now more than ever, t Sincerely, j I t i i l 1 1 1O I i 7

The recent Three Mile Island nuclear incident and the ccnstantly escalating price of fuel oil bring into focus the following facts:

1. An unwarranted frenzy of public fear regarding the safety of nuclear power generation whipped up by the news media and ex-ploited to political advantage by our legislators.

2. The relative safety of nuclear power generation as witnessed by the basic design of facilities capable of withstanding control system and operator errors as compared to the much higher human cost of producing power from other forms of energy and the daily mayhem committed on our highways.

3 The dedication of our public utility officials in seeking the lowest production cost for electric energy in spite of the

  -            tediousness of obtaining approvals for nuclear power generation.
 \/       4    The spineless reluctance of our legislators to face the facts of a world energy crunch and act positively to conserve and develop new scurces of energy. Our legislators seem to prefer devoting their time to making " whipping boys" of our public dtilities and oil companies.

5 The negative attitude of our public utility regulators as expressed in the following statement by the Chairman of the Pennsylvania public Utility Commission, Ms. Susan Shannahan, printed in The Sun of Baltimore, February 9,1980, page A8:

                     "The Company (Metropolitan Edison, operator of TMI) cannot                  I simply go along operating upon borrowed money hoping that this Commission will fond off any final day of reckonin6".                 l Such a statement smacks of political vengeance rather than reason-                l able regulation.      If such an attitude prevails amongst our reg-ulatory bodies the utilities are headed for bankruptcy and the nation will be thrown into the wastefulness and chaos of govern-ment operation of our utilities - witness the railroads and postal service.

Frankly I'm fed up with this ostrich like " head in the sand" attitude I of our elected officials and their appointees in respect to the energy crisis. I do not object to paying my fair share of the cost of maintain- l ing this as tbe " great country" I believe it to be. I suggest: O f t

Oth letter from General Public Utilities i Corporation to all stockholdsrs, of which my wSfe and I are included, tells us that in the interests of c.ancerving cash and credit resources it becones i necessary to discontinue G.F.L's 2$p quarterly decreased dividend. As ! stockholders of hh? comaon sharea, the C791.19 ee received in dividends in ! 1978 (reduced in 1979 after the T4ree-nile Island accident)is now com- ! pletely discantinued as part o f our precious inome, the buying power of 1 which is continually eroding due t o 3.nflation. ( Large numbers of retirees, as in our ca.30, whose employers provided no 4 supplenentary pension plan separate from Social Security during their work-ing years, knowing that Social Security wtld not provide sufficient support, after retirement, looked ahead during ucrkig years and set up personal , pension plans by accumulating high-dividend pying utility coanon stocks

cuch as G.P.U., Delmarva, N.Y.Stcto Elec., Pacifd c Gas & Elec., etc. In i

retirement the C791.19 in G.P.U. co: mon stock duidends nontionud above was ) a very necessary cupplement to our Social Securit6 and now that is gone, r compounded by the greatly reduced buying power of tm remaining incone caused by the present vicious inflationary cycle. In the G.P.U. Feb. 8th letter to stockholdert it is indit.cted thz t the Three-mile Island Generating Unit No.1 (TiG-1) which was not danaged in the accident is not allowed to operate, presumably by edict u f tae H.R.C., i and that this substantially incruases the financia?. ove. head fe G.P.J. to the tune of Ilh. Million per month (0168. b:illion a nnual rate) fur ibit

         .';o.1 alor for purchased power, with further increases projected due to

[ canctantly rising prices of imported oil. The leb. 6th G.P.U. stock-holder's letter also indicated that the recently discontinued Sl.00 per year (25p annually (quarterly 2 common Clh.1;illion share dividend quarterly). vill savu G.P.J. The C163.1:illion annualC$6. Million outlay for purchased power occaaioned by uhat is perhaps an unnecessa:y shut-down of L:I-1, if caved by allowing T :I-l to resume op(rations could allow G.F.U. to pay a 75p quarterly connor. dividend.

i The Hon. John F. Ahearne, Chairman Feb. 19, 1980 l Ono has reason to suspect that unnecessary time-consuming delays due to ponderous bureaucratic procedures of government bodies, conctimes worsoned by political considerations, will additionally delay the ultimate time then i G.P.U. will be given a green light to start up so they can discontinue the ! unbearable added expence of purchased power and repairs, and go back on a I regular dividend paying basis, so badly needed especially by retiree stock-3 holders. I 1 j Permit no to su;; gest, please, that in stch centuring procedures you impose j on G.P.U. management for the accident to THI-2 last March that you also keep 4 uppermost in mind the interests of its nany retired stoitolders who badly ! need the now discontinued dividends so necessar/ for survival.

Dear Mr. President:

Failure on the part of the Regulatory Commissions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the government agencies, and other officials to expedite both the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island Unit 1 to safe operation, as quickly as () possible, would result in further damaging our economy. Those of us retirees self-sufficiently de- , pendent upon our small dividends should not be 1 penalized and possibly forced to sustain the loss of our investment due to the declining cash resources of the above listed corporation. j We have endured tremendous pressure with the rising cost of food, clothing, utilities, and exploitation by the oil companies prosper-ing without restraint. We were lead to believe that our country was trying to implement pro-cedures that would enable us to produce energy instead of deterring the same. Sincerel f l

Dear Sir:

i i We wish to express our views concerning the General Public..Util-ities Corporation and it's fiancial distress and possible bankruptcy if action is not taken in the very near future. As we have an investment in the corporation and thier letter states they are in dire need of financial aid from the Public Utili-ty Commistion of Pennlylvania and New Jersey wis ask for your concern. Since Unit No.I(TMI-I)was not damaged in the accident and is ready to be put in operation the General Puplic Utilities considers it imperative that Unit No.I be put back in operation. 1 Please do what you can to relieve the financial burden the Gen ' eral Public Utilities Corporation tis now f acin6 Thank you.

February 19, 1980 The Honorable John F. Ahearne, Chairman Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Sir:

I am one of the small stockholders of General Public Utilities Corporation, whose subsidiary Metropolitan Edison operates the Three Mile Island Nuclear Energy Plant. I am now retired and my dividends from General Public Utilities represent an important source of my income. The stockholders have just been g told that the Corporation's cash position is so bad as an aftermath ' of the shutdown of Three Mile Island (including Unit I which was undamaged) that payment of all common stock dividends will have to be skipped until their cash position has improved. Adding to their costs is the facc that they are having to purchase power from other utilities to make up for the lost f acility at Three Mile Island. f3 (/ I truly hope the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will do all they can to smooth and speed up procedures for approval so that the undamaged Unit 1 of the Three Mile Island Plantean be returned to service quickly. We have been assured by the corporation that they are doing all possible to comply with the latest require-ments of the Regulatory Commission. Surely in this day of exorbitantly priced and scarce oil, we should do all we can to expedite alternative methods of producing energy, and nuclear power should not be discriminated against. I hope that you and the members of your Commission will do all you can to speed the reopening of the undamaged Unit 1 l of the Three Mile Island facility. 1 { Respectfully yours, I j dls f

                                                                  $SN                                     l 5                                                                '                                         l

Dear Sir:

l This will have reference to your consideration of the prob-lems connected with the accident at Three Mile Islanc. Unit No.2 l on March 28, 1979 It seems to me, and the great majority of pec,ple, that you ; f are not acting in the best interests of the customers, or the company involved, or the stockholders, By not allowing Unit No.1, which was not damaged by the accident, to produce power you are causing the customers to pay a much higher rate for electricity and causing financial problems for the company. l Don't you, and the other members of the commission, think j that you have acted unwisely by not allgeing Unit No. I to be l in operation?

                                                                          ^

Dear Commissioner Gilinsky:

This letter is to express my concern regarding the future financial health of General Public Utilitles Corporatlon. I am a 70 year-old widow living on utility dividends and social security. Several years ago I sold my home and put that money along with my life savings into utility stocks. At that time I purchased 700 shares of GPU stock to supplement my income and now with the stopping of their dividends, this has cut my income considerably. Due to inflation eating up our dollar and the utility stocks going down in value because of government regula-tions, utility stocks hwe certainly proven to be a bad Investment. I realize that we need nuclear energy to supplement our coal, oil and hydro power plants at the present time. We cannot afford to shut down nuclear plants that are now in operation, nor should we stop the development of those that are now in the process of construction. This would certainly mean a great financial loss to everyone. I do believe, however, that everything should be done to make them safe in the future. I strongly urge you to do whatever possible to expedite both the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island Unit I to safe operation as quickly as possible.

j i What purpose is being served by continuing this shut-1 down? Safety? I think not. Certainly all steps that can be j taken to insure safe return to operation of this unit have been i taken.

has been carried far enough. The only ones who are really being punished are the customers and stockholders.

A 549 Su=mit Avenue b Hagerstown, MD 21740 February 19, 1980 The Honorable John F. Ahearne, Chairman The Honorable Richard T. Kennedy, Commissione , The Honorable Victor Gilinsky, Commissioner 4. 3, ,a The Honorable Peter A. Bradford, Commissioner The Honorable Joseph M. Hendrie, Commissioner U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555

Dear Chairman Ahearne and Commissioners:

We urge you to do everything in your power to expedite the return to service of Three Mile Island Unit No. 1. It is unbelievable that this i unit is not permitted to operate. GPU can generate power much more economically than they can purchase power and every effort should be made to permit TMI Unit 1 to return to normal operation without unnecessary delays. The financial condition of the General Public Utilities Corporation is indeed critical to the Corporation, to their customers, and to their (] stockholders. No one will gain if the Company is forced into bankruptcy. No company or industry is regulated--or over-regulated--as much as the public utilities. We own some stock in GPU and depend on the dividend to supplement our income. My wife is employed as a secretary and I have been retired for four years. Nuclear power is a necessity--more efficient, more economical, and safer than coal or oil in the production of electricity. The NRC must of necessity accelerate the inspections and approval of start-ups for nuclear I stations. Power is needed now. l l We request your immediate attention and help in this situation for I the survival of GPU. There is no time to delay action. Sincerely, ,

                                              , [ f //$ w s ?h        N'"'~

The Anti-Nuclear Bloc sends Rashington a considerable amount of mail while the proponenta send very little. Friends of Nuclect Iower a:ust start deliver. ing their message before it is too late. The greatest present day threat to the prosperity and even the survival of nations in the lack of energy. Both developed and undevelopin6 nations are threatonad. Nuclear part. Iower is part of the answer to that problem. Only a part, but a very important at stake. We must not turn our back on any source of energy when our very existmace is We need them all, especially NUCIRAR POWEP.. The Anti-Nuclear luopa6anda that we are hearing today puts democracy to a severe test. Unless the political trend toward Energy Development in this country, changes rapidly, there may not be a United States in the 21st century.

They feel that en appeal is en exercise in futility end expense ord that the reseking of the permit is a grave error and will result in higher electric i enerEy costs and eventual shorta6e. These problema cre causin6 many of our I Utility Ccszpanies that have Nuclear Plants on the drawing board, or in the , process of building them, are cancelling their programa. In conclusion. I feel that the generating of NUCLEAB PD*EF, up to the time of the Three Mile incident, has had an enviable proven record in saving many millions of dollare in generating electricity with no adverse affects and no serious accidents. Yie should recognise the great benefits of NUCLEAR FO'JEE to human health and well being and the atreival of our free society before it is too late. k Carl Ob1mmu v) i __ _ _ _ _ . ,-

Je O February 20, 1980 Dear Sir; The generation of electricity is vital to every citizen of our country and it is a responsibility of our government to encourage and support this ecsential industry. Today we have a situation in Pennsylvania where nn electric utility, !<etropolitan Edison, that was pioneering an attempt to lessen our dependence on vulnerable and expensive foreign oil is now being forced into bankruptcy by the N.R.C. Because of the accident at Unit #2 of the T.M.I. generating plant, which incidentially injured not a single person, the N.R.C. is refusing to permit Med. Ed. to start O uP theThere undemeced unit o1. is absolutely no rear.on that Unit el can not be put on line. Without it, Med. Ed. is being forced by the Fenna. P.U.C. to purchase electricity and provide it to their customers at a lower price at a substantial loss. This is totally unfair and unjustified. I respectfully urge you to support the N.R.C. in the startup of the undamaged unit at T.M.I. 7 Yours trul , I, y h'N

Dear Sir:

I am one of the small innocent stockholders in General Public

Utilities cufferinc from the accicent at Three l'ile Island.

Unit 1 at Three tzile Island was not damaged, but the car. party f says that the proceedure mandated by the nuclear hegulatory a Commission effectively keeps it from returning to service [ until next fall. Production of electricity at that Unit would ! leesen our dependance on forecin oil, and would either hold [ dnwn costo to the users, or help the investors who are losing [ the cuarterly dividend and may lose their principal as wel' . The e-mpany sava thnt Unit 1 being out of productin es l i their cost for power by 314 million per month, and ach !O i cest may rise sharply as oil prices increase. Cur country needs nuclear energy, and the prompt retr ' Unit 1 would be in the best interest ol everyone invc.ved. l ? Please modify the proceedures as necessary to return Unit 1 to oroduction as of an early date. l b Sincerely yours, i n LO i N" l' "'

Dear Commissioner:

I am retired Employee of Phillips Petroleum Company, I have been retired since 3968 and my wife and I have invested some or our Savings in Utility stocks with some others so we might have an additional few Dollars to help us pay our bills. We have owned some General Public Utilities Corporation, stock First we purchased om 1972 , then some in 1978, and last we purchased in June 1979, only have over 200 shares but we depend on some Dividends to help durius this time of inflation. Since last March 18, 1979 when TM1 unit No 2 accident and the plant was shut down, It seems the plant and GPU are having much trouble trying to keep j;his plant going where they can provide the Comu, unity with Electric Power. I am enclosing a copy of a three page letter from GPU explaining to the stockholders their problems, You will noteedu page No 2 that the Pennsylvania PUC voted temporarily permit Met-Ed to put the 55 Million Do;lar Energy clause increase into effect on March 1, butthis order is in effect only until Final resolution of full proceeding Which y was rescheduled from Apr 4. to May 23, at which time the increase revenue collected is subject to refund. Just how can anyone figure how a Utility company can provide necessary Electricity, with Infla tion like it is raging today? Oil Prices have jumped the prices two and three times since 1976 all the Labor Unions, La h.ar is stricking on almost every kind of industry. Groceries havegone up nnd how could this Utility be expected to refund revenue when it has had so much expense trying to get back into Operations? As a Stockholder we h.n e had our Dividends entirely cut off, I say doXE$cpect this Company to be able to get back where they can generate Electricity, also be able to pay the Dividends again? Detween some groups trying to close down such Utility Conpanies, Do you think with Politics etc. this Com;aay wi.1 soon if ev r get back into Production? We have lost most of our investment rio w and I wonder Why our Government can not help get this worked out? 1 notice Where France also other Foreign Governments are continuing to Expand Nucear Plants. You as Commissioner, I would appreciate anything you can do to help, and any Informati;n and developments, also if possible would appreciate any reply you may have? We really thank you.

Dear Honorable Ahearne:

Feing a stock holder in General Public Utilities it is of vital interest to ne and necessary for part of ry survival to receive dividends.

Dear Commissioner:

RE: General Public Utilities Corporation I am writing to urge you to do all in your power to ex-pedite the current rate relief requested by General Public Utilities Subsidiaries. The large segments of the population i supplied by companies such as Metropolitan Edison are in serious need of utility service and General Public Utilhies cannot continue to absorb cost increases over which it has no control. () If you will help in the return of the Three Mile Island Unit No.1 to safe operation as quickly as possible, this could have a major effect in controlling the costs of electric power. With the rapidly escalating costs of foreign oil, and the lag time required for the development of synthetic fuels, nuclear power represents the only reasonable alternative energy source available to pro-vide electricity to consumers. Another significant factor is the future financial health of General Public Utilities Corporation. Many thousands of employ-ces and sharehol3ers would be serioulsy impacted by inordinate-ly severe governmental regulations and pressures on GPU. If we are to maintain the important role of GPU in providing utility service to New Jersey and Pennsylvania consumers, the answer will be found in government assistance. If governmental agencies do not see their role as the assistance of private industry in its efforts to provide services to consumers, one wonders whether government employees and appointees view themselves as masters or servants of the people.

.       We are writing an appeal to you as United States Citizens who are leadere in our community and church. Our taxes and 4       debts are paid. Our legal records are clean, civic duties are performed and we have served in the U.S. Army and Navy overseas in wartime; honorably dischar6ed. We consider oureelves normal, informed, loyal Americans.

j Our appeal concerns the critical situation of General Public d Utilitien Corporation. 1

1. The accident could have harpened at any nuclear plant. .

Why make G.P.U. A " whipping boy" for the industry?

2. Nuclear power will be here until we can find a better source ,

which is a long way away. It is cager, it is cleaner, cheaper, it replaces Oil, Oil, 011,011. i l 3. Lets deal with the f6 cts. Not the news media blow ups, j not what a few radicals think.

4. Lets get politics out of the picture.(Let the politicans j start teachin6 truths to educate people not appease them).

5. Have the nuclear plante report to one master. How many commissions and a6encies do you expect them to serve with all of their disseusion, duplication and unnecessory detail?

l 6. The plan for tne disposal of nuclear waste is long overdue lets Eet the job done, now. l i

7. We ask that you do all in your power to expedite the return of Three Mile Island unit h1 and #2 to safe operation

) j quickly. It will take work and money to do it. Thousands

are suffering while they sit idle.

1

f. 8. We have a real job in coping with the Russian War Machine.

j The G.P.U. problem should be a priority to give the people 1 in its arca energy at a fair price, but not at the expense j of thousands of loyal Americans wno Sive time and support. We are weary of delay, can you blame us? l f, Thank you for action that gets results, d 3 Sincerely, Ob '.t I' O . b W

f< As a child I deteeted poverty, and through the seventy-seven 4 years of my life we, my wife and I, have accumulated enough that by watching our expenses we live quite comfortably. How-ever, one of our sources has dried up. We have had stock in G P U for a number of years. Due to the }

                       "Three icile accident" they have been forced to cut out our dividends!

I j Now this would not be necesserv if the unit TMI-1 would be i 4 permitt ed g g1nerate gower!

j. I know lot of edjectives, some not so complimentary, that I V could use about people who are so stupid as to shut down a

Dear Mr. Chairman:

About two years ago we invested almost $6,000 of our savings in General public Utilities Corporation, not looking for a capital gain but, in our senior citizen years , looking for a hedge against inflation and the eroding pur chasing power of our sa rings and a dividend yield bettering bank account interest. Since we are consumers in the GPU service area, we looked favorably upon them and invested ac-cordingly. When GPU borrowed heavily and invested heavily in TMI, I'm sure it wasn't done-;to score any windfall profits - an impossible goal in a regulated industry. GPU customers enjoyed lower rates for nuclear produced electricity since the TMI start-up. Now GPU must buy power from other utili-ties at much higher cost and cannot recover this additional O cost each month as it is incurred. Why not? I can't see where the denial of adequate rate relief is going to solve the problem and may pusn GPU closer to the brink of bank-ruptcy. My company is not asking for a government guaranteci like the Chrysler Corporation. I'm sure all they want is sufficient rate increases to cover costs of doing business, a ~ little room to operate and they'll work out of their own problem. Nuclear power is here to stay, whether we like it or not. It just has to be better harnessed and I feel the TMI accident has taught us that. Yours truly, August F. Rossi 9

We own 6,165 shares of General Public Utilities in 11 trust accounts. To l 3 insure the financial health of the company, please do all in your power to j expedite both the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and the { return of Three Mile Island Unit 1 to safe operation as quickly as possible. 1 1 Since the elect ric power consumer would have benefited from lower rates $h I from these nuclear piants had they operated properly, they should also assume some of the risk. If an unfair burden is placed upon the shareholders of GPU, then we, as institutional investors, will be less inclined to f a invest in other utilities which are attempting to finance risky, but essen-f tial energy projects. 1 l I am very tired of hearing rhetoric from politicians about " energy programs" j that are not followed up by real actions which would reduce our dependence { on imported energy. GPU is a case where you must decide if we are to

!          continue to have large, risky energy projects financed by the private l           sector. I hope you make the right decision. Thank you.

We, therefore, ask you to do your share in getting the subsidiaries we are affiliated with back into sound financial condition. All you need do is secure the rate relief which has been requested by the General Public Utilities Corporation subsidiaries so that they can meet their obligations to the consumers.

It is now a question as to whether we stay in business or go out of business and if we are forced to go out of business, please consider how many industries will be hurt, as well as the consuming public.

Dear Sir:

.i I am a stockholder in General Public j Utilities Corp (GPU) who recently omitted paying i their regular quaterly dividend which recently l reduced. i i Cannot understand the delay in i restoring operation o:" the Three Mile Island lQ 3 Unit #1 which is causing the Company to purchase 14 million dollars worth of outside power a j month when they could avoid this extra expense by using their own plant. j Nuclear povrer is here to stay in l this Country as we cannot depend on Arabian  ! Countries for their oil who are continually j l raising their prices.Our economy could not  ; stand it if we do not create our own energy.  ; i  ; i

}

The only solution is to have the i j Federal Nuclear Commission to keep a close j check on all Nuclear plants in this Country. i I also would suggest that all technicians l who are responsible in the operation of Nuclear 4 i gu N$ be under full control of the Utility management 1 and under strict scrutiny of the commission I whereby they can be removed if they are not j dependable or do not do their job right. Hope you do something to expedite l the reopening of the Three Mile Island Unit #1 l

Three Mile Island Nuclear Units 1&2 General Public utilities Corporation

Dear Mr. Chairman:

In my opinion, most people agree that General Public Utilities Corporation's Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 (TMI-2) withstood a test last March 28, which proved its design safe for operation. The accident was the result of human error - an always present risk in any of man's past, present and future ventures. Properly, our space programs were not halted when three brave men lost their lives several years ago on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral; efforts O for industrial progress have not been abandoned because of regrettable loss of life during its development. Rightfully, development efforts for nuclear powered energy resources should not be aborted as a result of technical or mechanical happenings such as those at TMI-2, where no loss of life resulted. True, a large loss of radioactive material could have occurred, but it didn't. Potential loss of life perhaps existed, but it didn't happen. The unit was, and still is, containing the contamination as it was designed to do, and means exist to neutralize the hazzard. In order for the owners of TMI-2 to continue providing the public with much needed energy while repairs are underway, I urge you to do all in your power to expedite both the rate relief requested by General Public Utilities Corporation's subsidiaries, and the return of TMI-1 (companion to TMI-2) to a safe operation as soon as possible. Sincerely, NNth f Charles W. Webb I !O 4

Parsippany, N. J. , ( . Dear Mr. Ahearne s l. l l Since I hold a f ew shares of the above Company's Stock, I have been

following, with a great deal of interest, the proceedings of the Regulatory Commission in connection with the accident at Three Mile Island.

j Throughout the years, GPU has been an outstanding Company in supply-l ing the needs of .its customers, and has been fair to them and to its stock-

l. holde rs. .I feel that, given the proper decirion by the Commission, this

! Company will continue to serve.the best interests of all concerned. First, I do not believe. that Bankruptcy proceedings would benafit anyone, but would be harmful to the Company, its customers aind investors. Sebond, I strongly urge that you do all in your power to expedite both the rate increase requested by 'its. subsidiaries, and the return of Three Mile Island Unit No.1, where no accident occurred, to safe operation (G

   )      as soon as possible.

I believe Nuclear Power can be made safe, and would be one of the best answers to OPEC and the energy shortage. The accident at Three Mile Island should not ban the' future development, of Nuclear Power. Con-sider the Airlines and Railroads, which have had many serious accidents, but no one would ban their continued use. Right now, we need GPU functioning at full capacity, and I urge i you to do all you can to expedite the Company's quick return to full operation.

Dear Commissioner Hendrie:

i l We own 6,165 shares of General Public Utilities in 11 trust accounts. To j insure the financial health of the company, please do all in your power to 1 expedite both the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island Unit 1 to safe operation as quickly as possible. 1 1 Since the electric power consumer would have benefited from lower rates j' from these nuclear plants had they operated properly, they should also { assume some of the risk. If an unfair burden is placed upon the shareholders j of CPU, then we, as institutional investors, will be less inclined to j invest in other utilities which are attempting to finance risky, but essen-j tial energy projects. A 1

;        I am very tired of hearing rhetoric from politicians about " energy programs"

! that are not followed up by real actions which would reduce our dependence i' on imported energy. GPU is a case where you must decide if we are to continue to have large, risky energy projects financed by the private ! sector. I hope you make the right decision. Thank you. O j Very truly yours, o

O 78 - 88th Street Brooklyn, New York 11209 February 22, 1980 The Hon. Peter A. Bradford, Commissioner U. 5. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Mr. Bradford:

} I have been carefully and closely watching the news covering the General j Public Utilities progress report since the accident of Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 on March 28, 1979. j General Public Utilities is known to have an excellent managerial staff } 4 as well as one that is concerned with public safety. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission should permit the restart of Three Mile l Island Unit No. 1, which was not damaged by the accident and is similar in ! design to that of other nuclear units now operating in this country. The ( i Nuclear Regulatory Commission has had approximately one year to make their study, surely the urgency of this problem should have been taken into con-sideration, and by this time, appropriately settled. The request by General Public Utilities for rate relief should also be granted to the extent that would cover the cost of rapidly escalating oil i prices and to cover the cost of the purchased power which came about because i of the shut-down of not only Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 but that of Unit { No. 1 too. I { It is plain to see that bankrupcy may become necessary if these measures are 3 not granted. Bankrupcy would be ludicrous. The public still requires the } adequate and proper services that General Public Utilities had been and still i does provide them with. Whether from GPU or from another source the replace-l ment energy cost would still be present. 2 i I firmly believe that General Public Utilities has done more than a satisfactory ) job and will cont ue to prove its competency under these trying circumstances. fii 1 erbly,

Dear Governor:

i j I am a small California stockholder (1220 shares) of General l Public Utilities Corporation; I am also a Senior Citizen. I l am also missing the dividend this year, as well as seeing the j stock price go from $19 per share to $6.50 per share. 1 j From all sources I have reviewed from the Three Mile Island

!                       occurance, there was no one, including the employees or
!                       immediate residents, wHo lost their lives, or were subject j                        to any harmful radiation.

I i The return to duty of Three Mile Island Unit No. 1 is im-l' perative to the good of not only stockholders, but recidents, and consumers in the area served. This unit, which was not connected with the breakdown, is fully operable. Its use { would save consumers millions of dollars in outside power i purchases. f ! The energy crisis facing this country makes it imperative that j all sources of energy be utilized, otherwise concumer costs l rise, and savings erode faster than inflation increases. i ! We have a real national energy problem that must be solved i before this country degenerates into a "have-not" nation. i l It is the duty of citizens to conserve. It is your duty to i 1 ize all existing energy sources. NOW! y _ h. WDB/jld cc: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ! General Public Utilities Corporation [ Honorable Bredan T. Byrne I O i l r

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

f I have just received notice that General Public Utilities Corporation $ will not be paying any dividends. I'm an 80 year old widow who lives j alone in a house my late husband and I built with our own labor in the j 1960's. We worked extremely hard to get enough money to buy some stocks j for their dividends to supliment our social security. Since my husband's j death five years ago inflation has steadily erroded the value of the dollar, prices and taxes have risen and with only a few thousand dollars j in savings, I desperately need my dividends to enable me to keep my home. i Forcing GpU into bankruptcy won't keep me from losing my home. I urge $ you to expedite both the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island Unit 1 to safe operation as quickly as l . possible. } } Don't make the loss of our homes and independence the price thousands of stockholders have to pay for political expedience. j Sincerely, 1 I } Frida Buhmueller f jky ttftii/li D h4th/t" Y f

 ' bQ                 

Dear Fr. Ahearne:

1 The good old U.S.A. is doing everything it can to get out of using nuclear power to generate electricity. We listen to the Ralph Naders and the Jane Fondas whipping up frenzy in anti-nuclear power meetings. And who are the participants in these meetings? Young kids out for a lark, who have no idea in the world of what they are standing up for. When they mature a little they will be glad to have good clean nuclear power to use. First it was anti-Vietnam war demonstrations - now it is anti-nuclear power used for generation of electricity. Just anything to get out and demonstrate against. i Now let us look at some facts. We effectively have a moratorium on new nuclear power plants. Russia just announced a huge program to increase its nuclear capacity almost 10 fold by 1990-surpassing the U. S. in yet another vital area. France is working on 14 new nuclear plants at the present time. West Germany is also gearing up to build new nuclear plants. Yes - there must be some demonstrations in these countries but the leaders of the countries kNOW that nuclear power is a must. We no longer can be hostage to foreign oil producers. Are we really a "cannot do anything country? Can we really afford to turn our backs on a nuclear energy source that can substantially reduce oil imports today and- with the breeder reactor-provide our elec tricity needs for centuries to come? It is " fear" and nothing else than fear that is causing our lackadaisical efforts to continue on full speed" with nuclear power awaiting your o.k. to start licensing ofnuclear generating plants that power. areThere now merely"El is the Diabolo Canyon" plant of the Pacific Gas & E3ectric Company which has been built for quite a while and just standing idle while you let the days " fritter" away and refuse a license to " turn on the steam" and lets start generating electricity. Then there is the Plant No. 2 at the three mile island of the Metropolitan Edison Company in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that de merely waiting your approval to start up as it was closed down when the plant No.1 had the nuclear difficulties and quit operating. This p"lant No. 2 was all ready to be started up on January 1,1980 but you are dragging your feet" and they say' they will be lucky if they get started in the fall. In the case of the damaged plant No. 1 on three mile daland you should do everything you can to help them get cleaned up and restarted generating electricity. I am convinced that the president of these United States Jimmie Carter is for nuclear power but everyone is afraid of"public i criticism" and are afraid to get started generatin ! Well - I think the president has hassed the " buck"gtoelectric you andpower. it is up to

you as to when you are going to start issuing licenses and quit fighting j the issue. He need the power so lets get going NOW. The sooner the better.

3 I have followed this nuclear power issue since its j inception. In fac t I own stock in 15 utilities and most of them have a plant i or two generating electricity with nuclear facilities. In fact I own

stock in the General Public Utilities Corporation and the Metropolitan j Edison Co. pany so I have followed their troubles first hand. You were right l on hand when the Threo Mile Island trouble started so you know that it was t

(V3 the news media which blew out of proportion all the news on the crippled j plant. Please lets get started developing our nuclear capabilities as soon as pobbible. It is up to you. Legget going. Thank you most kindly. i

a O LAWRENcr R. }i!NAND. }b D. 270 PAN E Avrnt'r Nrw Yon x 17. N.Y. February 25, 1980 The Ucn. John F. Ahearne Chairu n U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Subject- Three Mile Island Pear Sir, I will not pretend to be merely a concerned citizen with no ulterior motives, since I own several shares of General Public Utilities stock (Metropolitan Edison). It should be recalled, that the utility industry was encouraged to become involved with nuclear power by our govern-ment in order to develop our energy independence, and to provide low cost electricity to the public - the benefits of which they have happily accepted for some time, and indeed are still accepting. h Thus the government, the customers, the stockholders and th - company should share in the recovery cost *, yet so far the company and the stockholders have been the major ones to shoulder the expense. Media hysteria,and possibly the N.R.C's procrastination prevents the reactivation of the undamaged Three Mile Island Unit fl. GPU has also been unable to obtain rate relief for the electricity they have had to buy elsewhere. In this day of government aid to Lockheed and Chrysler Corpor-ations, it seems only fitting that GPU should receive aid as well. Many elderly stockholders are dependant on dividends from this supposedly safe and necessary investment in our country's future. I, therefore, urge you to exert pressures where indicated to d expedite the return on stream of Three Mile Island #1, as well as cnceuraging f avorable rulings regarding rate relief. f. Resp ctfully yours, N. Lawrence R. E!inard, M. D.

618 Jenkins Building Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 February 25, 1980 The Ilonorable John F. Ahearne Chairman U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington D. C. 20555

Dear Chairman Ahearne:

May I express my views on the future financial health of our Public Utilities, by citing the fever of many condemnations of Nuclear Power. I believe you know that - (1) we must have electrical energy and (2) that no one, and I mean no one, has been seriously injured by radi-ation in any nuclear operation. Consider the 20-year fine safety record of our nuclear submarines - no fatalities - yet 1,350,000 were killed in automobile accidents in these 20 years. And, (3) we seem to bow to the nuke kooks who want no vital electricity for the United States. , We have blown the Three Mile Island incident so far out of

proportion that it is ridiculous! As an example: our chest X-rays

! expose us to twice the radiation as the maximum at TMI. (No publicity for comparison). Another example, each time our jet planes fly at 3 " (]) 35,000 feet, we are bombarded by more radiation than at TMI. There are risks in any progressive movement. (Steam engine history). A few questions we might ponder - (1) Was the TMI incident really an accident? Or was it synchronized to dovetail with the release l of Jane Fonda's movie," China Syndrome"? (2) Why was the arrest and l conviction of two men caught tampering with instruments in a nuclear j plant, in Virginia, not given due and equal publicity? The subject - Bankruptcy Proceedings of the General Public l Utilities Corporation - is the most unsound economic procedure possible. } No electricity! No jobs! Waste of money! Have you ever met a fair-3 sized payroll each week? How familiar are you with having personally managed a business? Its personnel? Its taxes and its Government regalations? ' 1 I do hope and pray that you will use your prayerful judgment, without any political or vindictive opinion, in General Public Utili-ties' Three Mile Island. Respeccfully yours, tand xL G. C.

1 V Mr. Wm. G. Kuhns, Chairman, GPU. The Hon. John F. Ahearne, Chairman U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington D.C. Dear Mr. Ahearnes The Wall Street Journal of February 22 contained an article stating that because of the large number of parties who will take part in the j hearing it may be next January of February before it will be known whether

Reactor No. I will be restored to service.

i l Have you stopped to think of the harm you do to the customers of Metropolitan Edison, to the parent company, G P U, and to its Stockholderst .} You have already kept No,1 out of service for nearly a year and now you want to I keep it closed for another year because of all the people who have to review I reports Customers and Stockholders are hurting because of the commission'S I ( actions and delays. %r wife and I own 1843 shares of G P U stock and by not i receiving the $1.50 dividend our income is reduced by $3,317 40 per year. That l hurts when you are retired and living mainly on dividend income. And we are only 4 two of thousands of Stockholders. I j Before you close down a plant that has never had an nooident i you should realize the economic consequences of what you are doing. You should i also consider the fairness of your action. Where is the justification for closing i

?

No.1 but allowing all other Babcock Wilcox Reactors to continue to operate. 4 ! You should allow Noel to go back into production until you j decide what to do with all the reactors of that make. An alternative would be for the Federal Government to pay a portion of the extra costs incurred by the Three Mile nooident. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission must share that responsibility.

;                          The time has come to realize that there are huge expenses in 4

connection with that accident and that there is a limit to G P U's financial j resources. The time to help is nowJ The first step is to start No,1. l t And do it NOK. i j Veryjtruly, ours,_ f &L ,: 1 L Thor E. Petersen.

Dear Mr. Ahearnet The Wall Street Journal of February 22 contained an article stating that because of the large number of parties who will take part in the hearing it may be next January of February before it will be known whether Reactor No. I will be restored to service. Have you stopped to think of the harm you do to the custoners of Metropolitan Edison, to the parent company, G P U, and to its Stockholderst You have already kept No.1 out of service for nearly a year and now you want to keep it closed for another year because of all the people who have to review reports customers and Stockholders are hurting because of the commission'S actions and delays. My wife and I own 1843 shares of G P U stock and by not receiving the $1.50 dividend our income is reduoed by $3,317 40 per year. That hurts when you are retired and living mainly on dividend income. And we are only two of thousands of Stockholders. Before you close down a plant that has never had an nooident you should realize the economic consequences of what you are doing. You should also consider the fairness of your action. Where is the justification for closing No.1 but allowing all other Babcock Wilcox Reactors to continue to operate. You should allow Noel to go back into production until you decide what to do with all the reactors of that make. An alternative would be for the Federal Government to pay a portion of the extra costs incurred by the Three Mile nooident. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission must share that responsibility. The time has come to realize that there are huge expenses in connection with that accident and that there is a limit to G P U's financial resources. The time to help is nowJ The first step is to st, art No,1. And do it NOW. Ve ;truly,Yours,. g w .- [V]

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

We have been carefully and closely watching the news covering the General Public Utilities progress report since the accident of Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 on March 28, 1979. General Public Utilities is known to have an excellent managerial staff as well as one that is concerned with public safety. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission should pcrmit the restart of Three Mile Island Unit No. 1, which was not damaged by the accident and is similar in design to that of other nuclear units now operating in this country. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has had approximately one year to make their (' study, surely the urgency of this problem should have been taken into con-sideration, and by this time, appropriately settled. The request by General Public Utilities for rate relief should also be granted to the extent that would cover the cost of rapidly escalating oil prices and to cover the cost of the purchased power which came about because of the shut-down of not only Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 but that of Unit No. 1 too. It is plain to see that bankrupcy may become necessary if these measures are not granted. Bankrupey would be ludicrous. The public still requires the adequate and proper services that General Public Utilities had been and still l does provide them with. Whether from GPU or from another source the replace-l ment energy cost would still be present. We firmly believe that General Public Utilities had done more than a satisfactory job and will continue to prove its competency under these trying circumstances.

Dear Mr. Hendrie:

j I am writing to you to express my concern about the f financial condition of The General Public Utilities l Corporation. The Three Mile Island accident certainly 3 does raise serious questions about the future of nuclear energy. However, with the modifications that have been ! made at TMI Unit One there seems to be no logical reason for it to be restricted in its operation unless, of ! course, other nuclear power stations around the country 1 are also restricted. ] As a share-holder in G P U who is at retirement age, I j am also concerned that divident payments be resumed f, as quickly as possible. The share holders have already r j paid a considerable amount because of the accident. It is only reasonable that G P U customers should also pay a fair chare. If rate increases are necessary to keep { j the company solvent, then I would urge that the requested j increases be granted. Bankrupsy, it seems to me, is not i

 }

a viable option. Your support of the company is urgently l needed. With appreciation I remain, sincerely,

The Three Mile Island accident certainly does raise serious questions about the future of nuclear energy. However, with the modifications that have been , made at TMI Unit One there seems to be no logical reason i l, for it to be restricted in its operation unless, of course, other nuclear power stations around the country

are also restricted,

> As a share-holder in G P U who is at retirement age, I am also concerned that divident payments be resumed i as quickly as possible. The share holders have already paid a considerable amount because of the accident. It is only reasonable that G P U customers should also pay a fair share. If rate increases are necessary to keep the company solvent, then I would urge that the requested increases be granted. Bankrupsy, it seems to me, is not g a viable option. Your support of the company is urgently l needed. With appreciation I remain, sincerely,7 44,bWTLV d4 M.

Dear Sir :

The General Public Utilities Corporation is in a financial bind and have had to stop paying dividends upon which a largo number of us retired senior citizens depend for our retirement income. As I understand the situation, there are two immediate problems :: (1) The Oyster Creek Station in New Jersey, shut down since January for normal refueling, is ecpected to be back in service in Earch, and there is real concern that for some reason or other this might be delayed. (2) The undamaged Unit #1 at Three Mile Island has been shut down ever since the accident at Unit #2, and extended procedures will apparently delay return by yet another six months. GPU believes this may be not really necessary, and considering their financial situation, and with all rappect for your commission possibly even unreasonable. While these two generators are out of service, GPU must purchase power from other utilities which burn oil at ever increasing prices. The present cost of purchased power is stated to be $28 million per month. If TMI #1 is delayed for another six months, and assuming that the Oyster Creek Station is back next month, those six months will cost GPU some

     @90 million. This is very bad news for us stockholders. My wife and I have suffered an income loss of $1600 in 1979 and this is serious. We don't know when or at what rate dividend payments can be resumed.

i May I urge you to please get these two plaats back in service as soon as it is at all possible. The need is urgent. With many thanks, I remain, Yours very truly l i ( . 4 VN0 4 O

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

l } I am writing this letter on behalf of G.P.U. because l I believe the press coverage of the Three-Mile Island ac- ! cident has been so unfair that they are on the verge of bank-ruptcy. i To be more enlightened, I toured the plant some weeks

ago and was surprised to learn that it is a very efficient oper-l ation. I also learned that unit #1 is closed down now awaiting

! a decision by the N.R.C. and P.U.C. to determine if G.P.U.

should continue to operate it, b

Unit #1 has the best efficiency rating in the world and i there is no reason it is not in operation at this time because Q there never has been a problem with it.

I believe that government supervision is important, how-F ever, to ruin a company so vitally needed to this area is rid- [ iculous. The other thing that I am concerned about is that

the Pa. P.U.C. are not experts and any decisions that they make

! may not be in the best interests of the company or the local inhabitants. I will appreciate your efforts in getting the decision-making machinery moving so that somet.hing can be salvaged from this expensive investment most of which has been paid by private investors.

February 25, 1980 0 Mr. John F. Ahearne Chairman U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commis sion l Washington, D. C. 20555 l

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

I am writing to you about the General Public Utilities Corporation. My concern arises out of the fact that I earlier invested a very import-ant part of my life savings in purchasing 2900 shares of the stock of this corporation as part of my retirement program. I am urgently de-pendent on the dividends from this corporation for basic necessities for myself and for my wife. As I believe you know, the dividend was first cut substantially and now it has been eliminated. Although I might be hard pressed to actually prove it, I have a feel-ing that the actions of the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission are aimed at punishing Metro-politan Edison in a way that may be politically satisfying to people on the two Commissions, to concerned legislators, to Governor Thornburgh and to others. However, I would like to urge more maturity than that, if such be the case, and to ask that weight be given to the fact that if Metropolitan O Edis n ud GPU need to be punished, they have already been disabled enough to teach them any lesson that they or anyone else can learn. An additional point deserves your attention. Under current U. S. and Pennsylvania securities laws, it is not possible for the shareholders to have any important and meaningful voice in the management of a corpor-ation such as General Public Utilities or any other large, complex cor-poration for that matter. If the actions of the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission play an important, major role in the elimination of the GPU dividend, you are, in effect, punishing shareholders for actions over which they have no c ont rel. Please remember that some of us as shareholders are heavily dependent on dividends we have expected to receive for the most basic things such as food and rent. We bought utilities stock in the first place because we needed the dividends and believed we could count on them. Again, I urge your sympathetic consideration of these matters, and with best personal wishes. Sincerely yours, l L

Dear Honorable Sir:

e 1 We are of the opinion that all huelear Powered Electric Utility Plants are a must for every user of electricity. It is safe (impose stricter i safety measures, if necessary), it is clean, saves oil, and its great- ) est feature at this time is that it costs less to operate (has saved customers thousands of dollars in electric rates). l Fany plants are in place and operating on a normal basis, other plants i are waiting f or OK to operate, and several firms are waiting for the right to construct new pla nts. Only THREE MILE ISLAND 1 is not ope rat i ng , which we hope you realize , and are knowledgeable of, due to hRC but OK to start up soon. THREE i MILE ISLAND 11 will eventually be in operation after a most expensive j repair job and plenty of harassment. } ! As a GPU stockholder, age 76, and wife 72, we missed the loss of j $800. 00 in divide nd s in 1979, and a total additional loss of dividends i at $1.00 per share, for 1174 shares in 1980, due to cancellation of j dividend, which was due in February. Dividends are important to us, j as we are without a pension. We will survive regardless, but I assure j you we will really enjoy the return of at least the $1.00 dividend, l and the sooner, the better. l We ask you, as an individual serving the public, and in a position to i seriously consider all the aspects, to give buclear Power for Elec- } tricity, your sincere thoughts. We think it is safe, and usef ul, a nd j we hope you do. We also hope you will express your version and de- l ! cision to others. t 1 { To date, after years of inventions and improvements, all things seem j to have a flaw, but in a general sense the benefits always improve 1 our way of life for a certain period of time.

(] February 26, 1980 The Hon. John F. Ahearne, Chairman U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Ccnmission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

l I am writing as a stockholder of General Public Utilities (GPU) and as

an engineer who is concerned with the energy needs of our country.

In this latter context, I have been active for over 20 years developing processes for the conversion of coal to clean forms of energy--pipeline gas and oil. Our country is in need of all forms of energy. At the heart of our inflation and decreasing standard of living is our increasing and ongoing need to import oil. This must be reversed with a far greater sense or urgency l than is apparent today! l l The early days of steam power are replete with accounts of explosions and j the deaths of participants and onlookers. Intelligence and application i (and lack of hysteria) have virtually eliminated any such problems. We l are in the early days of the development of nuclear power generation. There have been no explosions or significant releases of radioactivity, and no

,^ deaths attrButable to this technology. The Three Mile Island incident-

'( ('IMI) confirms the inherent safety of nuclear power generation, which can only be expected to improve with experience. The TMI incident

rightly should be considered part of the learning process in nuclear i power generation, from which the entire industry and country should benefit.

I GPU, until the TMI incident, was a viable and health entity, serving many , ccmnunities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I strongly reccxmend that l the IMI Unit One be reactivated prcmptly, assuming that this unit can 4 meet the new NRC safety regulations. The reactivation will save much i imported oil and improve GPU's economic condition. I also reccnmend 7 strongly that GPU should not be penalized any further for the TMI incident, ! and be granted rate increases it so badly needs. There is nothing to be ! gained by letting GPU "go down the drain". GPU serves an important l function to its ccximunities. It also serves the many stockholders who i have invested their savings expecting an inccme source in return, t Your consideration of my reccxmendations and your consideration of the great need of our country for all foras of energy noa is much appreciated. Sincerely,

                                                                                      '   ~

Dear Ms. Shanaman:

t l I am writing to you as a chareholder in Generc.1 Public l Utilities and asking for your concerned involvement in tho

current regulatory status of the co.npany.

4 As you, of course, are aware the company has <uffered severe pressures in man:r areas because of the unfo: tunate accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plcnt. The p () accident occurred and the company and its shareholc ers must accept responsibility., But a valid question is hot- great the penalty should be and who must share in the cost. i There is clear evidence that the company was rot unduly negligent and its employees were as well trained or better than most others in similar capacities. Perhaps the grtatest cac'talty was the negative impact creTted on the nuclear ene2 gy industry at a time when we can so ill afford not to be aggr ssively

• developing this energy source. Peraaps the greate: t benefit will be the upgrading of construction and operatin: standards which will have improved tremendously The future s.fety of this vital industry.

The company is current:.y subjected to :evere f inar cial pressures and has found it necessary to cliaina :e ts dividend entirely - not partiall*. !c a regulated manopoly the company and its customers chare bent fits bu t must a: so chat 2 adversities. I The current restrictive rati adjustment leaves a heTvy burden on the sharcholders and pla: as the entire financia] future o: the company in jeopardy. T: .ic , of itself , will ult imat ely penalize the customers of the cor pan becauce of higher finc ncir.g cos s which must be built into thc rate structure. (continued) O

I also believe the Nuclear Regulatory Commission should give every reasonable consideration to reactivating the nuclear facilities not only l for the benefit of the customers of our company, but to maximize  ! reduction of oil consumption in our country.

Chairman U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission s Washington, D. C. 20555 5

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

i I am writing both as an investor in General Public Utilities and as a citizen concerned with the total energy problem in i our country. To force a major energy supplier to its knees by implementing ( p/ L unrealistic regulations while not allowing it to cover the attendant high costs with rate relief is both unfair and counterproductive. Safety is of paramount importance and all reasonable regulations i should be enacted to insure the public of its being attained. 1 If as much concern had been shown to the coal miners over the

last ten years, many of the thousand or so who have been killed

in the mines would be alive today. I urge you to allow GPU to reopen Three Mile Island Unit 1 at the earliest possible moment and at the same time allow its subsidiaries rate relief.

 ,                                                sincerely,
                                                          ~~~3           .,

Ahearne, Chairman j U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1 Washington D.C. 20555 1 } Dear Sir 1 } My name is Alfred Weiss and I reside at 3957 j~ Anne. Drive, Seaford N.Y. 11783 I have been a stock holder in General Public Utilities Corp. for many years. My investment in this utility as well as in some others ] have been to provide financial security to me and my fam-j ily in my approaching yearstof retirement. Generalf. Utilities has eliminated the last quart-erly dividend in an effort to preserve their financial in-tegrity. In this period of escalating inflation we had counted on these dividends. It seems to me that there is an awfully long delay in getting approval to start up Unit One which was undamaged in the accident. I feel that the NRC and all the other utilities O in the inaustry that have sone to echoo1 ana 1e rnea tro= this unfortunate accident have a responsibility to aid G.P.U. and to do all in their power to expedite the rate relief regested by G.P.U.'s subsidiaries and the return of Three Mile Island Unit one to safe operation as soon as possible. Thank you. Sincerely Yours, M Alfred&WeissW 2^- @

Dear Sir:

We are writing to ask you to do all in your power to help General Public Utilities Corporation in their efforts to provide their clients with the cheapest nost ef ficient electricity service possible. Unless the rate relief requested by General Public Utilities is granted quickly and Three Mile Island Unit I (which was not damaged) is allowed to return to operation immediately, the financial security of General Public Utilities will soon be in serious jeopardy. No-one will benefit by forcing General Public Utilities into bankruptcy. And General Public Utilities clients will suffer most of all with higher electric rates and poorer service. We urge you to use the full power of your of fice to help provide relief for General Public Utilitics Corporation and it's clients. Sincerely, Anna Wilking 6 Otto Wilking 320 Tacoma; St. Louis, MO 63125

Dear Mr. Ahearne:

1 l I hope you will give favorable consideration and assistance to the Genera 1 Public Utilities Corporatien and its three Pennsylvahis - New Jersey .' subsidiaries. They are making Vigorous efforts to recover from the staggerihg Three Mile Island accident of last year. l f I Rat 6 increases commensurate with the unusual costs being incurred ! are urgently required. In addition, could not a government loan at bearable j interest be' arranged, eithilar in nature to declared " disaster area" loans? The speedy return to safe and sound operation of Three Mile IslandUnit 1 l would isprove significantly the situation and reduce the oil drain. I Years ago, before the loss of my. eyesight,1 invested several thousand a dollars of my mocest means in GPU stock. For more than 30 yearsGPU subsidiaries iO l eerved ~+ 1 dota c"et mere ^"a 1"veet re-power, affording electricity at economical rates. 7"er = de eer1r ==e or ""c1e r I l But when bad luck struck oh March 28, 1979, it hit me at a time of P life, in a handicappihg situation, wherein one can least suffer Fortune's frowns. The 5105.75 dividend, which had been coming along with quarterly i regularity, was no more and the investment itself is in jcopardy.

Gentlemen,1 am one of a few million stock holders that will lose part of'our needed retiremont income if your Commission does not act to aid the GPU utility by opening the portion of the plant that has been closed since the accident,I realize that your in-terest is in safety but the stock holders are of the opinoin that this proc 6du re can be expedited so the m excessive month to month cost to secure power for the O comtomers form'117 sunn11e4 es ene raree x11e 181"ma plant,cnn be reduced. I realize that these decisions take time but when you consider the number 9ff of stock holders effected and what a bankruptcy of one utility would do 1 a future stock sales of other utilities, it becomes very importent in our future economy. We,along with many other retired people,have always considered stocks in public utilities a means of suopplementing our in-come in later years but if this utility is less im-partnnt then other componies the people in atithourtyy .. _ _ tnouzht worth sa vinc, by norlect , maybe we should re-conciior, _, .. Our little invest ent r,roup would appreciate p-oTpt action to save this neel : c npany. Sincerely. noyce oathrop over j

Dear Sir:

I am sure that you are aware of the fact that at the February 7, 1980, meeting of the Board -of Directors of General Public Utilities, they decided to omit the quarterly dividend of 25c per common share. This dividend had

                                      ',          already been cut to the aforementioned amount from 45c, in April of 1979 l            Can you really appreciate what a hardshi the above described action places on f            tens of thousands of shareholders, some l              of whom their     have atied savings    considerable up earning amount of
                                  ;                                                nothing l              whatsoever, in these p,erilous times of
                                ,               high inflation and high taxes.
                               ,                I sincerely hope that you are not among
                              ?                 those who advocate that GPU should go bankrupt,
                              ;                             thereby wiping out any chance
                              ;                 at all of some recovery some years hence E                   t e                      L 5

j . It is really not important as to who is at fault. I am certain that no one I set out deliberately to have the ter-I rible mishap at Three Mile Island Unit No.2. I am sure a lot has been learned that will be useful in preventing sim-ilar accidents in the future. Anything you can do to expedite both the rate relief requested by GPU's subsidiaries and the return of Three I Mile Island Unit No. 1, to safe op-I eration as quickly as possible, will be deeply appreciated. l Respectfully y urs, b-f' fc b I i l l l I L l T K

4' r i Limited Appearance Statement--Docket No. 50-289 (Restart) My name is Susan Mills. At the time of the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, I was living in York, approximately twelve miles from the plant. Two months later, my husband and I moved to Vermont, unable any longer to live witn the anxiety and uncertainty surround-ing the clean-up operations at Three Mile Island Unit II and the possible reopening of Unit I. At present, we are living in State College, still trying to figure out how to continue with our dis-rupted lives. I cannot possible consider moving back to York if Unit I is allowed to reopen. There are two nain reasons why I feel this way. First, Met Ed and governmental officials (including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission) have proved to be incompetent. Second, they have shown that they are not really concerned about the mental and physical health of the people living in the area. President Carter's Commission on Three Mile Island has concluded that Met Ed did not have sufficient knowledge and expertise to operate the plant, and that the training of plant operators is totally inadequate. This conclusion was nothing new to anyone who lived through the crisis and its aftermath. Just one example of their incompetence occurred the weekend of April 14 and 15th, when Met Ed changed the filters which remove much of the radioactive () iodine. For two days, our local papers reported that iodine emissions were up again and that officials were not sure where the leaks were coming from. Finally, on April 18, the paper-disclosed that workers had changed all twenty filters at the same time rather than one at a time, leaving all filters off for more than 24 hours. Officials promised that in the future they would change the filters one at a time. Somehow, I was not impressed. The incompetence of government officials is equally inexcusable. Communications among officials during the crisis were hopelessly snarled and for all practical purposed nonexistent. A general evacuation was ordered by the NRC and then rescinded without full consultation of the staff. Full radiation monitoring did not begin until several days into the accident, and then it was done by Radiation Management Corporation of Philadelphia,. a private firm which was formed in 1969 by eight private utilities, including GPU. This is hardly an independent and unhic9ed source of monitoring. The second reason why I would never consider moving back to York j if TMI I is allowed to reopen is that I believe that Met Ed and govern-ment officials are not really concerned about the mental and physical health of the people in the area. Met Ed knew on the first day of the accident that the core had been uncovered. Why didn't they toll anyone? I realize that they were confused about many things, but why didn't they at least tell us what they knew for sure? Why did they (-) consistently say that there would be no more releases into the atmos-I

phere at the very time when they were releasing radiation? It is ( k-obvious that Met Ed's primary concern is saving money and saving face. Even before the accident it is clear that human safety was never a priority, and here the Nuclear Regulatory Commission'is equally at fault. Met Ed had repeatedly violated safety regulations of the NRC, and the NRC was aware of many of these violations. Who is safeguarding the health and safety of people in the area? Cer-tainly not Met Ed, and not the NRC. One final example sums up to me what is typically wrong with the whole nuclear industry and its regulators. On Sept. 5, 1969, in a safety? evaluation by the Division of Reactor Licensing, the problem of hydrogen gas formation in a loss of cooling accident at TMI Unit II was discussed at some length. The Division of Reactor Licensing reached the following conclusion: We are currently reviewing the problem of hydrogen production and several methods for control of the hydrogen concentration for all large BWR and PWR reactors and have not yet established the methods which will be acceptable. We conclude that the applicants' commitment to study other means of controlling hydrogen provide reasonable assurance that an acceptable method of controlling hydrogen concentration within the containment following an LOCA can be established prior to operation of TMI #2. (Safety Evaluation by Division of Reactor Licensing, Docket 50320-15, Sept. 5, 1969, p. 59) r' " Reasonable assurance" is the key phrase here. The record shows us (_) what to think of such " reasonable assurances. " Ten years later, not only had Met Ed failed to come up with a way to control the hydrogen concentration, they had not even bothered to install a gauge to measure the hydrogen concentration. It is appalling to thing that the NRC tolerates this kind of irresponsibility. I think my whole statement here can be summed up in one word: trust. Can Met Ed be trusted to operate a nuclear power plant, and can public officials be trusted to regulate that operation? For me the answer is no, and I believe that the examples I gave today prove that Met Ed and the NRC are not worthy of public trust. I can for-give one mistake, even several mistakes. But I will not forgive a body of officials who consistently misrepresent reality, cover up the facts, and pretend that all is well when we are on the verge of a disaster. That violation of trust happened repeatedly before, during, and after the accident. Our society is built on trust. When that trust is consistently violated, day-to-day living becomes impossible and the society falls I apart. The only solution is for people to leave the area or else I stay and be unable to function normally. My choice was to leave the area. I know of many others who also left or are planning to leave. I also know of many who want desperately to leave but cannot. , i (7, If TMI I is allowed to reopen at this time, there is no chance I

  \_/    that the public trust will ever be regained. Met Ed and our govern-     4

s Oe ment must first prove that they are both competent and willing to () rs place safety above every other concern. done. So far this has not been I want to see TMI II cleaned up and in a safe condition, with radioactive wastes safely contained, before anyone even begins to think about reopening TMI Unit I. I believe this would be a fair test. So far, plans for cleaning up TMI II suffer from the same uncertainty and unacceptable risks that have been typical of the industry. I am not ready to again put my life into the hands of people who give me only " reasonable assurances" that they will come up with a solution at some future time. We have already seen that " reasonable assurances" mean nothing. I want to see solutions, not assurances. Once public trust has been regained, then we can begin to talk about reopening TMI I. To proceed without public trust would only reinforce the image of Met Ed and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as arrogant and insensitive, and concerned only with power and profits.

                                                                . fsorn ??lcida-Susan Mills November 15, 1979 The foregoing is a somewhat expanded version of the oral statement I made before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board on November 15, 1979.

t () Limited Appearance' Statement--Docket No. 50-289 (Restartl .; Before I begin my statement, I would like to draw an important ' distinction. The performance of one nuclear plant may not have any direct bearing on the performance of another nuclear plant. But the utility petitioning to reopen Unit I is the same utility that operated , Unit II. It is the performance of the utility which I plan to dis-cuss, not the performance of its nuclear plants. In that context, , I believe that Met Ed's handling of the accident last spring has a direct bearing on the question of their ability to operate Unit I. My name is Russell Mills. I was living in York at.the time'of the accident at Unit II. I have since moved to State College. I  ; left my job in order to move, and at the moment my job prospects are , not favorable. But I would rather be unemployed and live in poverty  ! than live anywhere near a nuclear plant operated by the Metropolitan Edison Corporation. i There have been several problems with Met Ed's performance, but l the one which concerns me most is the company's record of communication with the public. From the very beginning of the accident to the l present time, Met Ed's public statements have been self-serving and  ; misleading. Nobody I know is willing to believe statements made by j It is unreasonable Met Ed, and I can see no reason why they sho'214. to allow this discredited utility to operate a nuclear plant anywhere , in the world, let alone at Three Mile Island. (]) l Let me review the utility's record of communications with the l public. The very first statement I heard from a utility spokesman on March 28 was that the situation was under control and that there i was no danger to any member of the public. This statement was made  ! at a time when the utility was still unable to determine what had-  ! happened at the plant. l i The next day, March 29, I heard nothing but a constant string  ; of reassurances from company officials. The public was told that  ; only a few minox leaks of radiation were occurring, largely through  : the ventilation system of an auxiliary building. This statement was made on the day'when the highest levels of radiation release  ; occurred. The public was not informed of those releases.  ! l As the accident progressed, I learned to pay no attention to e the utility's reassurances. When the utility announced the March 30 l' releases, together with an assurance that no further releases were anticipated, I decided that the time had come to leave the area.  ; I left for a week.  : After returning to York, I watched in horror as Met Ed botched , the cleanup, while assuring the public that everything was under  ! control. During one two-week period in April, the utility issued almost daily assurances that the releases of Iodine-131 were finally (]}

4 under control and about to be stopped. But those iodine releases e continued for another month, until late May. ( I left the area again on April 27, when the so-called " natural" cooling system was put into effect. At that time, there was some question as to the safety of the proposed method, although Met Ed did not acknowledge any problems. I was mildly concerned but thought the proposed cooling method sounded like a good idea. Then the changeover was made--five days early and without warning. I didn't really expect a meltdown, but I found it intolerable to be anywhere in the vicinity while Met Ed performed major and controversial operations without notifying the public in advance. This situation continues to the present day. Right now, Met Ed is planning to release large amounts of radioactive Krypton gas into the atmosphere. They have given the impression that they will notify the public of planned releases, but I understand that they will only give advance notice of the first release, not of any sub- , sequent releases. During the past few weeks, Met Ed has been making a great deal of noise about the fact that the famous hydrogen bubble could not have exploded. The implication is that the bubble was really rather harmless and that the public was being alarmed unnecessarily. What Met Ed does not say is that the hydrogen bubble might have caused the core to be uncovered or created a vapor lock in the cooling system,

;              thus increasing the probability of a meltdown. That was the real 4

danger, but Met Ed has chosen instead to concentrate on the false issue of a hydrogen explosion. (]) 4 For over seven months, Met Ed has consistently tried to mis-lead the public, and there is no reason to believe that the situation will change. But the public is not quite so gullible as Met Ed appears to believe. We need a fable along the lines of "The boy who cried, ' Wolf,'" but perhaps entitled, "The utility that cried, 'the situation is under control.'" People do not believe Met Ed today, and Met Ed has given them no reason to believe them in the future. Consider the consequences of allowing Met Ed to reopen Unit I. Suppose for instance that a minor accident occurred--one involving only trivial releases of radiation. Met Ed would inform the public, 4 quite correctly, that the situation was under control, that no sig-nificant quantities of radiation had escaped, and that the public was in no danger. Would the public believe them? I doubt it. Paradox-ically, the very statement intended to reassure the public might create a panic, with results which are not pleasant to consider. Of

;              course, no one can be sure what would happen in the case of such an accident, but one thing is certain: the public would not be inclined to believe any assurances from Met Ed.

1 I find it amazing that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission can I consider allowing Met Ed to reopen Unit I. When politicians have ( shown their unworthiness through a long and continuing series of i

                                                                                                            )

i l l l

o  ; t 4 [ O distortions, half-truths, and outright falsehoods, we do not permit i d tnem to continue in office. Should the operators of the nation's ' nuclear plants be held to a lesser standard of accountability? I do not believe that the NRC should issue an operating license to a utility that has never leveled with the public and that shows no j inclination to do so. Thank you very much. hf//(g A l Russell Mills l November 15, 1979  ; i ( l The foregoing is substantially identical to the oral statement I i made before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board on November 15, I . 1979. k Russell M lls 4Y l . j November 15, 1979 1 f 1 t 1 I i < 1 i h l I n i l' l a i l k l 1 __,,-,-,.,-,...m., _.-m...,.-.,..-.mm.-,,_, , , - _ _ . - . , _ . . . . , _ . ~ , . , , . _ . , . - _ . . . . - . _ _ , _ . . . . . . _ , _ . _ _ . . _ . . . _ _ - , . . . , , _ , _ , . , . . . .

This use of a procedure to deny. the utility the use of their property on an unwarranted basis.

Dear Sir:

1 I urge you and the Commission to, at once, allow the undamaged reactor Unit

                                          # 1, at Three Mile Island, to be placed in operation. To date, nothing has been presented at any hearing to show that there would be any reasonable danger in allowing this Unit to be in full operation.              Indeed, with the shortage of energy existing in this country, it would seem that government agencies would stsop over backwards attempting to alleviate this problem                                        l instead of actually creating one.

f  ; Again, I respectfully urge you to immediately authorize the operation of ) Unit # 1. Yours very truly, 1

717 S Greenwood Ave. Park Ridge, 1111 60068 Nov. 16,1979 Attn: Docketing & Service Sect, US Nuclear Regulatory Comm. L'ashington , D.C_20555 r Centlemen: I would like to add my comments to those of the people who live close to the area where the hearings are being held in connection with the return to service of Three Mile Island Unit #1. *

1. At present the conmission is apparentely embarked on a long series of hearings designed to unduly prolong the return to ser49ee of l' nit #1. These hearings are g a procedural barrier to the utility getting to use its pia 5perty for the purpose it was '. intended for and for l which they have complied with all permits, licensine fees and other legal requirements. Thus, the utility has complied with all legal requirem ents. These hearings l are a procedural barrier to prevent the utility from theusenf[($sproperty.

2. Another reason for the speedy return to ' service of I' nit #1 is that the procedural delav will necessitate the use of millions of gallons of foreign oil . T 1e use of this oil will result in considerable air pollution.

and a dreadful drain on our foreign exchance. . ThusT I ask that the commission allow the utility to return TMI #1 back to service without further procedural delay that will require the utilities' customers to pay double for the electricity that TMI#1 is designed to produce. Yours very truly, , - / 24gt,pi 07Z'1(dd. l - l ( Susanne Conners I ! A Shareholder of CPU k f _ _ - _j

Dear Sir:

I am a small stockholder - 100 shares - in the General Public Utilities Corporation and I am concerned about  ; the report of your commission on, and the possible action being discussed against, the het-Ed Company . kiy concern is not about the effect of a lessening of dividende but about the effect on utility companies in general, with the shortage and high prices of oil, I think that nuclear fuel has proven that the cost of energy delivered to the ultimate user can be lowered but, more importantly, it has been proven to be irss polluting. I also believe it is at least as safe as any other fuel and that the media used " scare tactics" to blow up the story of "the accident at ihree kile Island". Your own report proved that vshen you said"'ihe radiation doses received by the f.eneral population as the result to the radioactivity released during the accident were so small that there will be no detectable additional cases of cancer, developmental abnormalities or genetic ill-health as a consequence of the accident at ik1". So , let's f.et on with more nuclear-fueled plants and less depenency on the whims of America's enemies. Yours truly , cc: GPU  ?

movement against nuclear power consists of an irre-spensible group whose motives are not the conserving

! of energy or concern for local environment but rather f as a way to gain dubious recognition in front-of tel-evision cameras. As a stockholder of General-Public Utilities Corporation, I feel they should be given every oppor-i; tunity to resume the production of nuclear power after , they have satisfied the safeguards laid down by your O committee.

nuclear power seems to be the most viable source. The accident at Three Mile Island was of course 1 a serious event but it has paved the way for chan6es in operating procedures that benefits the' entire ind-ustry. GPU should not be further penalized by refusal on your part to permit return to service of Unit 1 as e, an integral t of their activities. Cheaper power is a natio need in times of rampant inflation and the nuclear option should be seriously considered. Please keep an open mind in your hearings on this subject. l, L i Very truly yours,

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen: As a senior citizen stock holder of General Public Utilities, I urge you to expedite the start up of Three Mile Island Unit #1. The country, particularly the Northeast, badly needs the energy. The stock holders need the additional returns (especially stock j holders who are now on a fixed income). l b"v I am sure General Public Utilities customers need the energy which is not only cheaper when generated by nuclear, but saves a . lar:c amount of imported oil.

Dear Sir:

With respect to your handling of the TMI 1 and TMI 2 nuclear facility investigation and shutdown owned by the General Public Utilities Corporation, I would strongly urge your agency to deal only with the facts concerning these two (2) nuclear plants. I have been led to believe that GPU has completed the necessary design modifications in TMI 1 which was requested and further, that this plant is of similar design to several nuclear reactors presently O in operation. Since TMI 1 was totally uninvolved with the accident experienced at TMI 2, I see no reason for this facility not to be put back into service immediately. TMI 2 should not be allowed to restart until such time that all modifications and repairs are completed to insure the ultimate in safety, however, Plant 1 should not become a political football because of the accident at Plant 2. It has to be comforting to know that the worst nuclear accident in history did not result in death or injury; a sure tribute to your agency and the safety of nuclear energy and generation. Nuclear energy is part of the immediate solution of the energy shortage and the bridge to energy alternatives which are technically and economically sound. TMI 1 is necessary to relieve the rate payer of the GPU system an unnecessary additional financial burden. Thou-sands of barrels of precious oil are being burned to replace the lost nuclear energy. We need this oil for home heating oil and gasoline, especially now that we have severed our relationship with Iran. Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention to the Three Mile Island Unit 1 situation. Ver u yours, O J Fortier pjh cc Sen. W. Bradley Assemblywoman M. Muehler Sen T. Gagliano Sen. H. Williams Congressman J. Howard

C. 20555 To the Commission on Nuclear power Why pick on Three Mile Island's accident and make a scapegoat of it, when I have read of other accidents in other parts of the country? perhaps all the regulatory commissions have been a little lax in enforcing rules that it took something to happen to wake every one up. Nothing ever happens but what a lesson c an be l e ar n e d. Stronger requi stions and increased vigil ance may be just what is needed. Today, on T.V., I heard a commentator say that with less oil coming from Iran, you will have to rely on Nuclear f or power. Another learned scientist that I read ebout, and I wish I had the article to send to you, said that this whole thing has been blown out of proportion and that Nuclear energy is not as dangerous as some would make it out to be. During Three Mile I sl an d 's troubles, he had a heart attack and his aim was to tell the truth about the danger.

I [ I have heard of so much to deter any program that it is a wonder that any utility can make any logical decinion regarding i i their policies & power generction, i lq Why are there these unending hearings, revoken, approval, lv l l suspensions, reinstates, union-manegement difficultien & N.R.C. indecisions? l l l l t Why.for example, if N.R.C. in in control, can't rules be

right, firm, & enforced?

l l l Why vem the Diablo Canyon facility completec & not ! ellowed to start? I i k If a reactor in ruled nafe to operate, why tron't standards firm so management decinions can be mcde to innure scfety, i ! operation economy, profit to stockholders, & economy to its l l cus tomers? I lO i

                           ?Tashington, D. C. 20555 Attention: Docketing mad Service Section With reference to your public hearings regarding the restart of Three I/,ile Island Unit I:

In view of

1) The excellent operating experience of TMI-I,

  /~'s                     2) The management lessons which GPU has most certainly

() learned from TMI-2,

3) The extra cost te consumers through having to pay for replacement power, ant' j

4) The threat of a heating oil shortage, particulatly along the East Coast, I

it appears to be incredibly poor judgement not to put j TMI-I bsck on line just as fast as GPU could get it back y r in service. 1
