The Nation - News from Dec. 24, 1985

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it will hold a hearing to investigate document falsification at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, near Harrisburg, Pa., but barred any discussion of whether top plant managers knew about the action. Over the objections of two NRC members, the commission set ground rules that sharply limit what issues may be addressed in a “legislative format” hearing into improprieties at TMI’s Unit No. 2 reactor, which was badly damaged on March 28, 1979, in the nation’s worst commercial nuclear accident.
