Re: Tokaimura and the media

["E. Slaggie" <ELS@nrc.gov>]

A very good note on Tokamura and the media.  One possible anachronism:  There is a nuclear-power-related case dated 1973 in the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Scientists' Institute for Public Information v. AEC, 481 F. 2d 1079 (1973).  If this is the same SIPI you are talking about, it could not have been formed by scientists concerned about the reporting of the Three Mile Island accident, which took place six years later.
