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.
