Subject:

Chair:an Oc =issioner Docket 50-2895?

U. S. Nuclear ReSulatory Cc ission TMI - Unit 1 1717 H Street, N. W. Middletown, ?A Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Kr. Ahearne:

I'= writing to urge that the Euclear Regulatory Co::ission act prc:ptly and favorably on per=itting the Three Kile Island Euclear Plant nu=ber 1 to resu e cperation. Metro-politan Edison stands ready to add whatever operating safeguards your co==ission =ay require. I'= told that 60% of the replacement power for this plant ec=es fro: coal and 20% fro: oil. The ERC cust know that coal-fired electric generating plants have far more adverce health effects than nuclear plants. And resu=ptien of cperation of this nuclear plant would eliminate i=portation of two =illion barrels of oil each year.

It takes little sense to keep TXI - 1 idle when it is ready to resure safe operation.

M::= Sincerely yours, f
