i Hopefully you are still handling TMI ete? ,

As you may be aware there wa's a recent " alert" at TMI 4 hat could have been very, servious. The instrumentation registered a dangerous build-gp of hydrogen' gas in the crippled reactor building. The flash point for hydrogen is very low and there were fears that this could literally be a hydrogen bomb with a nuclear war-head, in effect. Supposedly, "they" are now bla' ming this on a radio signal and caused the recordings that were faulty, etc., etc. Iastly, Commission Dhmn. made.an on-site visit yesterday for whatever reason, but 1,he media has little or nothing to report on his visit re this latest alert. - which really was flubbed up- those of us up l

here really.did not know of any difficulty until the 6:00 news, ow Mrs. Parsons has these questions (based on the background above):

l. Why has there been no' public comment from the NRC on this near mishap? l l

2. Why was the'emerrency management system, supposedly now in place, in-operative?  !

l

3. How were the rases purged or oxidized? Any radioactive' releases?

b. Is all this due to more faulty equipmot? Is there some sort of approval system for equipment that will be used in nuclear facilities?? .
