STATEMENT BY.':ETROPOLITAN EDISON COMPANY Jun 4--Metrepolitan Edison Company today released the following statement about allegations made concerning security
~
ht the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania
'which it operates.
~ - -
Robert Arnold, vice president of Metropolitan Edison, said that the company had beer. informed of various alleged breaches of security at Unit 1 of G.e Three Mile Island site, and Lhat it, in' turn, immediately investigated and aiformed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
lie said that the allegations of poor security made at Palph Nader's press conference concerning the Three Mile Island r
site were the " outgrowth of disputes between two different security companies at the site."
Mr. Arnold said that Met-Ed possesses signed statements by each of the former Three Mile Island guards who spoke at today's press conference, indicating that there was a conscious conspiracy to perform acts which would create the appearance of a breach of security and thereby undermine and discredit n
the operations of the second security organization at the power plant site.
When the co;..,any was informed of these matters, it moved to have the instigators removed from the site to prevent any further undermining of the efficiency of the security forces involved.
