handle is hein.gao/gaobabbaq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I i It d2 6 BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Three Mile Island: The Most Studied Nuclear Accident In History On March 28, 1979, the Federal Government and the nuclear power industry were awakened by the most serious accident in the history of U.S. commercial nuclear power. Although no one died as a result of this accident, the real- ization that a major accident is possible renew- ed the national and international debate on the safety and reliability of nuclear power. Reactor safety and Federal regulatory policies and practices have been thoroughly examined and criticized since the accident. Long overdue changes in reactor operations and designs have been made and others are being considered. Both the nuclear industry and Federal Gov- ernment appear to have changed their attitudes toward improving safety and reducing the probability of future accidents. Only time will tell, however, whether this change is permanent or short-term. GAO believes that oversight of Federal plans to correct known safety and reg- ulatory deficiencies should continue. 113337 2< EMD-80-109 SEPTEMBER 9, 1980 03z-377~~ 40'1P2-0
