BACKGROUND INFORMATION

As the Three Mile Island situation developed beginning on Wednesday, March 28, 
the Commissioners met to discuss the nature of the event and scheduled a staff 
briefing held on March 29 at 9:50 a.m. The emergency nature of this situation at 
Three Mile Island led the Commission to go into "continuous" session for the duration 
of the event beginning on the morning of March 30. This meant that whenever a 
quorum was present, it was part of the continuous session. Because of the nature of 
these sessions, particularly on Friday, March 30, Saturday, March 31, and Sunday, 
April 1, most of the Commission meetings were held outside the Chairman's 
Conference Room which is equipped with magnetic tape recorders. Part of 
Saturday's and Sunday's meetings, for example, were at the Incident Response 
Center at Bethesda.

The nature of these meetings was informal and often interrupted. Commissioners 
and staff members came and went as conditions arose. During many of the sessions, 
multiple conference telephone calls and two-way telephone calls were made and 
received that were difficult to record and to transcribe.

These continuous meetings were for the most part recorded by several portable 
tape recorders using mini cassettes and regular cassettes. Nonetheless, in the fast 
moving events connected with this incident, there may have been times when 
Commissioners discussed matters which were not recorded.

The transcripts of the tapes of these continuous sessions, particularly where the 
meetings were held outside the regular meeting room, are a composite of several 
tapes. For all of the reasons above, these transcripts do not represent formal or 
official Commission statements on the matters discussed therein, nor have they 
been reviewed or edited by the Commission.
