The accident at the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI 2) nuclear power plant near Middletown, Pa., on March 28, 1979, was the most
serious in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history, even though it led to no deaths or injuries to plant workers or
members of the surrounding community. But it brought about sweeping changes involving emergency response planning, reactor
operator training, human factors engineering and many other areas of nuclear power plant operations.
Dr. Donald H. (Don) Roy is entering his 51st year of service to B&W. For the first twenty-five years of that service he helped
design, engineer and license B&W’s commercial nuclear steam supply systems (NSSS). At the time of the accident, he was Manager of
the Engineering Department for B&W’s Nuclear Power Generation Division, headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. He and his
engineering team helped the customer, General Public Utilities, Inc., stabilize the damaged unit and to prepare it for long-term,
monitored storage. In addition, he participated in most of the investigations and legal actions following the accident. Dr. Roy
is uniquely qualified to present a look at the accident from the “inside”.
