TMI reactor to be restarted
United Press International
HARRISBURG, Pa. — The U.S.
Supreme Court yesterday refused to
block the restart of Three Mile
Island's undamaged nuclear reactor,
sit down six years ago during the
nation's worst commercial nuclear
accident.
Within hours of the high court's ruling, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave the plant's operator, GPU Nuclear Corp., written permission to begin taking steps to restart the Unit 1 reactor.
The company planned to begin the process at 2 a.m. CDT today, with restart scheduled to take place nine to ten later, a spokesman said. NRC
NRC inspectors could halt the restart if a technical problem arises.
Restart it a technical problem aises.
Unit 1 has been shut down since March 1979, when its twin Unit 2 reactor was wrecked in a near melldown that forced the evacuation of more than 150,000 residents.
No reactor in the history of U.S. commercial nuclear power has been down so long, then restarted.
"We will proceed in a very deliberate manner, with our primary consideration to public health and safety," said Philip Clark, president and chief executive officer of GPU Nuclear.
In preparation for its operation, the 800-megawatt reactor has been maintained at near-operating temperatures and pressures since June. Its climb to full operating capacity will take an estimated 12 to 13 weeks.
TMI Alert Inc., an anti-nuclear group, filed a request last week asking the Supreme Court to prohibit the restart pending the outcome of appeals challenging Unit's operation.
Republican Gov. Dick Thornburgh, Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed and the Union of Concerned Scientists filed documents supporting the appeal
But the justices denied the request
in a two-paragraph order issued in Washington, with Justice William Brennan dissenting. Brennan on Sept. 24 had temporarily extended an order by the federal appeals court blocking the restart.
"It's a shock," TMI Alert spokesman Eric Epstein said of the court's decision.
The governor, however, said he was giving up the fight against the restart.
The group today will ask the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to block the restart based on a separate legal action challenging the integrity of GPU Nuclear, Epstein said.
"I believe the only responsible course now is to work with the plant operator, the NRC and other officials to ensure that the plant is operated under the tightest possible supervision and stringent standards of safety." Thornburgh said in a written statement.
