HARRISBURG, Pa. — Naturally occurring radon and a power glitch caused radiation monitors to sound false alarms Monday night and Tuesday morning at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, bringing new criticism for the plant’s operators from Gov. Ed Rendell.

The false alarms were in the same building where a small contamination incident occurred Saturday, Exelon Corp. officials said. Though tests showed no abnormal radiation, Rendell said Exelon had failed to notify state emergency-management officials quickly.
