He urged a long, critical look at the reactor, emphasized protecting health and environment, and proposed reviewing licensing standards and inspecting reactors nationwide. He appointed Lt. Gov. William Scranton II to head a recovery committee to monitor effects and coordinate relief. He sought federal support to aid recovery and safety assurances.
