     Mr. Chairman, we appreciate the opportunity to testify on

the financial and operational aspects of the cleanup effort at

the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear generating station and the

potential impact that Federal research and development funding

could have on the total cost.  The General Accounting Cffice

(GAC) has had a continuing interest in TMI for quite some

time.  We have issued three reports over the last 18 months 1/

which addressed the serious financial questions raised by

the accident and the actions needed to reach a successful re-

solution of the problems at TMI.  Our reports prompted testimony

before the House Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and Power

Energy and Natural Resources and the Subcommittee on Nuclear
