- a. trip in the reactor. As a result of the notification, they mutually drafted. a statement for response to gueries as follows:
"The nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island Unit 1 was shutdown as prescribed when a malfunction ,
related to a feedwater pump occurred about 4:00 a.m. , Wednesfay Otarca za). ~h: -- H ra unit was systematically shut down and will be I out of service for about a week while equipment is checked and repairs made."

1- At 4:00 A.M. this morning there was a malfunction of main feedwater valves which' caused the main feed pumps to trip interrupting the flow to secondary side of steam generator.
Loss af ccd resulted in a high przasuro incid:nt in tha reactor coolant system lifting' safety valves in the reactor .
ar-coolant system which discharged to a drain tank in the reactor building. The buildup of pressure in the drain .
tank caused the drain tank release system to actuate discharge reactor coolant into the basement of the reactor building as designed. The reactor coolant water discharged into the reactor building contained same radioactive gas. ,
This actuated a radiation monitor in the reactor building which by procedura caused the plant staff to declare a site emergency. During the transient there apparently was a slight leak in one of the steam generators from the primary side to the secondary side. The reactor coolant water that
. leaked from the primary to the secondary side also contained some radioactive gas which was eventually released from the (j({
main condenser to the atmosphere. Due to the combination .
of circumstances, the plant staff notified the State Police and the Civil Defense of the problem and the possibility of a general emergency.
The steam generator that had the leak has been isolated and the plant staff is returning the plant to normal condition.
- caq P.S. . Hr. Arnold's direct dial outside number is 201-335-0562 All safety 'systees worked as designed.
