On the recordJune 26, 2002
I myself a few months ago was part of a scenario in which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued what it felt was a credible threat to Three Mile Island and reported the essence of that credible threat to the operators of Three Mile Island. This was 6 or 6:30 p.m. At 1 a.m., when an all-clear was sent forth, we learned for the first time that the first responders, the township officials, the State officials, the county officials who were responsible in and around Three Mile Island, some of them did not hear about this credible threat for several hours following the institution of it by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and some never heard a thing about it. Happily nothing happened, and it turned out not to be a credible threat, but we were alarmed.
