Can you imagine the shakeout that would happen if an AEC commissioner faced with a TMI-like incident were to say, yeah, no, that happens, it's not big deal. Some noble gasses were vented, it's less than 1/100th of the exposure you get annually from background radiation and only half of what you'd get from a chest X-ray, so big whoop -I'll speak to it officially in a couple of weeks and I may show up in person after that and the president would have no plans to pay a visit. (obviously TMI had the potential to become a much bigger issue --never the less, despite the relatively low radiation actually leaked, it was treated as a maximum disaster)
