Three Mile Island Collection Materials

The Three Mile Island (TMI) Collection at the State Library of Pennsylvania contains federal and corporate documents, transcripts, maps, and other records pertaining to Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg. Mixed-in and inventoried with the Three Mile Island Collection are similar records from the Peach Bottom Nuclear Generating Station in York County. The TMI collection contains reports, transcripts correspondence, surveys, maps, charts, and other records. These records were created and published primarily by two entities, being the energy utility companies controlling the nuclear facilities (for example, Metropolitan Edison or General Public Utilities), and the federal agencies responsible for oversight (being the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and earlier the United States Atomic Energy Commission). Selected topics from these documents include the accident at Three Mile Island nuclear station, analysis on the TMI accident and impacts on the environment and populace, reactions to the TMI accident, investigations and depositions into the TMI accident, administrative facility information, and nuclear energy and station safety. Material is dated from 1967 to 2009, and the bulk of the material is dated from 1975 to 1982.
