EFMR Monitoring Group In 1992 Eric Epstein reached a landmark settlement with GPU Nuclear to establish a stateoftheart radiation monitoring system around Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant. He set up EFMR151named after his grandfather Emanuel Fievish and his uncle Max Rosenberg151as a notforprofit nonpartisan organization to run the program. This settlement and some subsequent legal actions have resulted in EFMR adding the area around the Peach Bottom nuclear plant in York County to its monitoring network in the acquisition of new monitors in some significant environmental guarantees from the utilities and in a significant investment in robotic research by the utilities which has increased worker safety at the plants. EFMR has also undertaken educational activities relating to energy production and use in Pennsylvania initiated advocacy actions on behalf of the safety of nuclear plant neighbors including the evacuation of day care centers in emergency preparedness plans and the distribution of potassium iodide pills to the general public.
