WASHINGTON. DC 205 to October 5, 1987 The Honorable Lando Zech Chairman U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.-

20555

Dear Mr. Chairman:

It has come to my attention.that there may soon be a reduction in Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff at Three Mile Island unit 2.

It is my further understanding that such a reduction might adversely impact ongoing defueling and clean up operations at the damaged reactor.

I am very concerned that there will be inadequate monitoring of personnel and' operations at Three Mile Island if staff levels are reduced.

Thorough assessment of the clean-up's success could also suffer.as a direct result of short staff.

I would very much appreciate your advising me prior to any changes in staff levels at Three Mile Island.

Your attention to my request is, as always, very much appreciated, s

Sincerely,

/
