PHILADELPHIA — A federal appeals court yesterday blocked the restart of Three Mile Island's undamaged nuclear reactor just hours before a spill that operated for the first time since its twin suffered a partial meltdown in 1979.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it took the action to give restraint opponents more time to challenge a decision by a three-room panel of federal judges. Nuclear Regulatory Commission vote allowing the unit to go on line.
The court panel's 2-1 decision upholding the NRC restart vote was issued Tuesday. The NRC had planned to give GPU Nuclear Corp., a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard, Middletown, Pa., final authorization for restart late yesterday afternoon.
But lawyers representing Gov-
Dick Thornhurst, the Union of
Concerned Scientists and TMI Alert
Inc., a citizens' group, made
11th-hour appeals to the federal
court to prohibit the NRC and GPU Nuclear from placing the Unit 1 reactor back in operation.
GPU Nuclear had said the reactor would be reactivated in 12 to 16 hours after final word from the NRC.
"We're so pleased with the court action today that we are giving the entire country a day off work Monday," TMI Alert spokesman Eugene Stip, said in a reference to the Labor Day holiday.
"I'm just glad I don't have to go down to the plant tonight and get arrested. I hate going to jail," said Stlip, one of two men arrested Tuesday for blocking the plant's main gate.
In their motions filed with the court, the scientists union and TMI Alert said they needed more time to prepare requests for the full court to review the panel's ruling. The Thornburgh administration said it was considering similar action.
In its two-page order, the court gave the parties until the close of business Sept. 11 to file petitions for rehearing.
The parties also argued that the decision by the court panel did not allow immediate restart.
The Unit 1 reactor escaped damage in March 1979 when mechanical failures and operator errors led to a meltdown of its twin in the nation's worst commercial nuclear power accident.
scientists union, said the group was "obviously pleased" with the court order blocking restart.
Gordon Tomb, a spokesman for GPU Nuclear, said the company was "deeply disappointed."
Ellyn Weiss, a lawyer for the
"We are reviewing what we can do to expedite the final determination of this matter," Tomb said. "Meanwhile, we intend to keep the plant in hot stand-by status as we have had it."

Scalpers set eyes on tickets
DALLAS — Dozens of transients with worn jogging shoes, sweat-soaked T-shirts and very little interest in Bruce Springsteen sat in line through the night to buy tickets yesterday for a rock concert they would never attend.
Promoters, set on discouraging scalpers, said they would limit ticket sales to four tickets per person and sell the best seats at random.
Scalpers recruited the small army of transients when they learned Springsteen would bring his act to the
But the scalpers were undaunted. They headed to the Salvation Army on Wednesday armed with promises to pay $20 to $40 to each transient willing to sit for 12 hours to purchase the $19 tickets.
