RESOLUTION RESOLUTION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LACET, COUNTY OF OCEAN, STATE OF NEW JFRSEY, SUPPORTING THE RE-OPENINC OF TMI t*;IT NO. 1 WHEREAS, af ter the nuclear incident at Three Mile Island. TMI unit No. I was shut down by the NRC even though there was never any problem with the operation of TMI No. 1; and WHEREAS, the continued shut down of this nuclear reactor places an undue burden on the residents of Lacey Township, as well as all other customers of Jersey Central Power & Light; and WHEREAS,the loss of the use of this reactor has caused Jersey Central Power & Light to lose suf ficient funds to force them to not only discontinue the construction of the additional power plant at Torked River, but also to seek continual rate increases from the Public Utilitias Commis-sion; and WHEREAS, there is no justifiable reason for continuing to keep TMI No.1 shut down due to the fact that it had an unblemished safety record prior to the record at TMI No. 2.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Township Committee of the Township of Lacey, County of Ocean State of New Jersey, as follows:

1.

That the federal government should take immediate steps, through the NRC, to permit the re-opening of TMI unit No.1.

2. That the savings realized by Jersey Central Power & Light by the re-opening of the reactor at TMI No.1 should be utilized to complete the construction of the second power plant located at Forked River.

CERTIFICATION pss4.

I hereby certify that I, the undersigned, am theA Township Clerk of the Township of Lacey and duly authorized to certify resolutions adopted by the Township Committee at a regular meeting held on the 16th day of April, 1981.
