The radioactive release into the air from TML-2 following the March 28, 1979 accident are quantified in "Asse, ament of Offsite Radiation Doses from the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Accident," TDR-TMI-116 (Rev. O, July 31, 1979).
That report indicates that concen-trations of radioactive noble gases would have exceeded values specified in 10 C.F.R.
Pact 20 in only a fcw offuite locations and most of these would have occurred in areas not occupied af ter t he accident started.
