    A census of 35,930 people near Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear plant was conducted post-accident. While radiation doses were minimal, psychological stress effects on health are monitored.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear safety and public health
    • Environmental epidemiology
    • Radiation effects research

    Background:

    • The Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear accident occurred on March 28, 1979.
    • A significant population resided within a 5-mile radius of the TMI nuclear plant.
    • Baseline data was needed for future health studies concerning the accident's effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a registry of individuals residing within 5 miles of the TMI nuclear plant.
    • To collect demographic and health information for epidemiologic studies.
    • To estimate individual radiation doses for health impact assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • A census of 35,930 individuals was conducted using 150 enumerators.
    • Demographic and health data were collected.

  • Radiation doses were estimated based on location and time spent near the plant.
  • Population mobility, morbidity, and mortality will be tracked via registry matching.

    • Main Results:

    • Individual radiation doses from TMI were estimated to be extremely small.
    • Measurable increases in morbidity or mortality due to radiation are unlikely with current methods.
    • Potential adverse health effects from psychological stress are acknowledged.
    • Increased disease reporting may occur due to heightened surveillance.

    Conclusions:

    • The TMI nuclear accident resulted in minimal radiation exposure to the nearby population.
    • Psychological stress, rather than direct radiation, is the primary health concern.
    • Ongoing monitoring is crucial for understanding long-term health impacts and potential stress-related effects.
