I note that this is an excerpt from the NRC description of the TMI
event on their web site. I cannot give it too much credence, for the
following reasons:
Steve Wing, in his investigation of the effects of the radiation releases at TMI, found evidence of larger emissions than were ever reported by the official monitors at the time of the accident, whether that increases the average dose received by the population by a significant amount or not, it is clear that it increased the doses received by some by a considerable amount--enough to put those people at significant risk of cancer.
