TMIA: THREE MILE ISLAND ALERT, INC. 315 Peffer St., Harrisburg, Penna.17102 (717) 233-7897 1979 March 28, 1979, 4:00 a.m. Beginning of Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit-2 partial core melt. March 28, 1979,4:30 p.m. Press conference of U. Governor William Scranton: This is an update on the incident at Three-Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant today. This situation is more complex than the company first led us to believe. We are taking more tests. And at this point, we believe there is still no danger to public health. Metropolitan Edison has given you and us conflicting information. We just concluded a meeting with company officials and hope this briefing will clear up most of your questions. There has been a release of radioactivity into the environment. The magnitude of this release is still being determined, but there is no evidence yet that it has resulted in the presence of dangerous levels. The company has informed us that from about 11 a.m. until about 1:30 p.m., Three-Mile Island discharged into the air, steam that contained detectable amounts of radiation.
