House committee tours A-plant
A House energy subcommittee led by Morris Udall visits Three Mile Island to gain a first hand view of the plant and discuss the future role of nuclear power. The trip aims to update members and inform hearings on broader nuclear policy, not to retrace the accident. Carter’s earlier visit helped ease local tensions during the crisis. Reactor No 2 remains in a stable condition but the site will stay off limits due to high radioactivity for months or a year.
