Report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from the Staff Panel on the Commission's Determination of an Extraordinary Nuclear Occurrence (ENO)

摘要

In July 1979, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission formally initiated the making of a determination as to whether or not the accident at the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) reactor on March 28, 1979 constituted an 'extraordinary nuclear occurrence' (ENO). On August 17, 1979 the Commission directed that a panel comprised of members of the principal staff be formed to evaluate public comments, assemble information relevant to an ENO determination and report to the Commission its findings and recommendations. This staff report finds and recommends that the TMI-2 accident does not constitute an ENO.
