Burning the buildings gives firemen a chance to learn about various aspects of firefighting from arson investigation techniques to rescue operations to just plain putting out the flames. Thursday's "burn" went a little faster than originally planned. And burned a little more than expected. Firemen had thought they could spend three days destroying the Inn, but instead it was gutted by the end of the (Metro page) plant closed down temporarily. Richard Maullin says the plant should be shut down until the study of the Three Mile River nuclear plant accident is completed.

"We are operating totally in the blind," Hendrie said.

"His (Governor Dick Thornburgh's) information is ambiguous and mine is non-existant," Hendrie said. All this comes to light as transcripts from closed NRC meetings were released Thursday.
