     Subject: Update on the Impact of Federal R&D Funding
               on Three Mile Island Cleanup Costs (EMD-82-68)

     This is the first of two reports requested in your March 8,
1982, joint letter in which you asked for (1) an update on the
report we sent to you, on January 15, 1982, entitled Impact of
Federal R&D Funding on Three Mile Island Cleanup Costs (EMD-82-
28), and (2) answers to new questions raised in response to
events that have transpired since our January report.

     This report responds only to part 1 of your request and
is limited to information obtained from discussions held with
officials from the Department of Energy (DOE), the Pennsylvania
Consumer Advocate's Office, and the General Public Utilities
Corporation (GPU). Revised budget figures and work task schedules
for cleanup activities based on events that occurred subsequent
to our January report were not available to us. They should be
available for our analysis prior to issuing our second report
covering part 2 of your request.

     The following information summarizes (1) our current assess-
ment of the TMI-2 cleanup status, (2) the availability of funds
to accomplish that task, and (3) our assessment of how current
developments impact on the conclusions of our January report.

TMI-2 CLEANUP SCHEDULE
IS BEING REVISED

This trend is continuing. The work schedule planned for 1982
cleanup activities has been revised since it was determined
