HISTORICAL NOTE Three Mile Island Alert (TMIA) is a not-for-profit citizens’ organization dedicated to the promotion of safe-energy alternatives to nuclear power. Founded by concerned citizens of the Susquehanna Valley area when the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was under construction in 1977, TMIA has been especially critical of Three Mile Island and its operators. The organization became more active after the accident at the TMI-2 reactor and continues to publish materials on the potential dangers of nuclear power and TMI. COLLECTION DESCRIPTION The Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant is located near Middletown, Pennsylvania. It consists of two nuclear reactor stations, Unit One and Unit Two. The Unit Two station was the site of the most serious accident in United States nuclear power plant operating history. The accident took place on March 28, 1979 at four o’clock in the morning. The accident and the subsequent investigations had profound effects on the commercial nuclear power industry in the United States. The Three Mile Island Alert Collection consists of the various papers, government documents, legal documents, transcripts, and publications collected and maintained by Three Mile Island Alert, Inc. The collection is divided into seven record groups as follows: RG 1 - Three Mile Island Alert, RG 2 - Nuclear Regulatory Commission, RG 3 - Nuclear Regulatory Commission Directed Legal Proceedings, RG 4 - General Public Utilities, RG 5 - Groups and Organizations, RG 6 - GEND Reports, and RG 7 - Mixed Media. The materials in this collection range in date from 1965 to 2002, with the bulk of the material falling between 1979 and 1994. More detailed descriptions of the record groups appear before each inventory, and details of the organization and content of individual series precede the inventory of each series in the collection. A list of commonly encountered acronyms and an outline of the complete collection to the sub-series level have been provided following this description.
