As far as we know at this hour, no worse than that. A Government Official said that a breakdown in an atomic power plant in pennsylvania today is probably the worst Nuclear Reactor accident to date. There was no apparent serious con ttamination of workers, but safety group said radiation inside the plant is at eight times the deadly level. So strong, after passing through a 3foot thick concrete wall, it can be measured a mile away. Gary shepherd reports from harrisburg. Reporter the accident occurred here at the three Mile Island Nuclear power atlanta a dozen miles south of harrisburg. About 4 00 this morning, two water pumps that help cool reactor number two shut down. Officials say some 50 to 60,000 gallons of radioactive water escaped into the reactor building. And that the radioactivitity y y penetrated the walls. Steam escaped into the atmosphere, and radiation was detected as far as a mile away. At least 50 workers and perhaps twice that number were at the plant when the accident

Commissioners, i want to talk on a number of issues, and i was watching one of the committees the board of supervisors. Two of your consultants, one who deals with iso, electricity, and the other one is, i suppose hes an engineer that i havent met before. So im very much interested in how you commissioners are going to be dealing with the transmission line from the 75 megawatts. So i had to do a little bit of investigation, and i see that the digesters cannot go forward unless they have steady energy, electricity. So why dont we have this convers
Convert that wet weather facility into an allweather facility, which would require us to do extensive sewer diversion work and impact the traffic on the road there. As soon as we onboarded a cm gc contractor, we started to get feedback from them and first major input was to remove that underground line which is 78inch and was on the piers to an aboveground 54inch hdp line on the road. That helped us to reduce significant risk associated with the congestion in the plant road and eliminating conflict with the seismic work. The second major collaboration between cm gc and designers was to move the lift station from across from evans out. Initially we were trying to convert it to allweather, but we were going to install a new lift station. One of the major inputs we received from cm gc was to lift the scope, eliminating all the work on evans avenue. Another aspect i want to mention on the red is the seismic and Electrical Work which was originally not part of the project, but since its in

He claimed no one was injured. All workers were given extensive checks with geiger counters as they left the plant. Reporters were
