HARRISBURG, Pa. — A local
official warned anger and frustration
among area residents over the Three
Mile Island nuclear plant could lead
to riots.
“If there is not another way to
bring this under control, I visualize
we will have some serious incidents
and riots in this area,” George Hick-
ernell, a Swatara Township commis
sioner, told government officials at a
forum punctuated by residents’ cat
calls Tuesday night.

Tensions have been mounting as
the anniversary of the March 28,
1979 accident approaches.
Some of the 250 people at the TV
station-sponsored speakout Tuesday
night even turned on one of their
own, Anne Trunk, the citizen repre
sentative on the President’s Com
mission on Three Mile sland.
“If you believe the government,
yo’re nuts!” shouted one woman to
Trunk, who had stated she was not
worried about ill effects.
Metropolitan Edison Co., the
plant operator, said citizen fears over
the continued operation of Three
Mile Island were unfounded and
should not be a factor in the regula
tory process.
However, the NRG licensing
board for the proposed 1980 restart
of the undamaged twin reactor at
Three Mile Island disagreed, telling
the NRG commissioners recently,
“To conclude summarily that these
fears are baseless and therefore
beyond NRG jurisdiction, as urged
by the licensee, may produce addi
tional stress.”
Scientists, including those on the
President’s Commission on Three
Mile Island, have concluded
psychological stress was the primary
ill-health effect of the nuclear acci
dent.
Some local citizens as late as two
months ago were experiencing
psychosomatic illnesses such as in
somnia and rashes.
The Pennsylvania Health Depart
ment Tuesday established a commit
tee to launch a special investigation
into an abnormal incidence of thyr
oid disease among newborn babies

CLINTON, Ill.— An Illinois Pow
