RE: TMI News Links - extensive coverage But it is amazing the amount of coverage for this event - i.e., it's the lead story for the'radio news that I heard on three different radio stations this morning as I was waking up.

I think mainly because it was TMI - again.

With the news commentators saying stuff like -

"Believe it or not - there.has been another radiation event at the Three Mile Island plant, this one happened yesterday .... they then give the details you mentioned, including 150 employees contaminated, and a evacuation of containment had to be order..... but end with NRC officials also indicated that the radiation release is no longer in progress, and that it did not exceed regulatory limits to the public. One of the reports had a taped message of a woman NRC spokesperson stating this information and that the public is not in any danger.

TMI News Links

Eric, I am sure you have seen some (or all) of these but just in case here are a few links to stories about the TMI containment contamination event. Overall, they seem pretty docile. They all mention 150 employees sent home, one received 16 mrem, and no threat to the public.
