The accident occurred here at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant a dozen miles south of harrisburg. At about 4 am two water pumps that cooled reactor number two shut down. Officials say 50 to 60,000 gallons of radioactive water escaped into the reactor and that the radioactivity penetrated the walls. Steam escaped into the atmosphere and radiation was detected as far as one mile away. At least 50 workers and perhaps twice that number were at the plant when the accident occurred. A spokesman admitted that someone explode to radioactivity and may been contaminated, but he claimed no one was injured. All workers were given extensive checks with geiger counters. Reporters were not permitted in tight inside the facility, but this is what the control room looked like last september when was still undergoing testing. It went into commercial Service Three months ago. That was cbs News Coverage in 1979 and a live view of three mile island. And joining us here is samuel walker. Thank you
