· An Aug. 4 Metro article incorrectly described the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania.

· The Commuter Page in the Aug. 3 Metro section misstated the projected tolls for the Capital Beltway high-occupancy toll lanes in Virginia. Tolls will average $1 a mile, not $1 an hour.

· An Aug. 2 A-section article misidentified the affiliation of Nicholas Bequelin. He is a China researcher for Human Rights Watch.

· An Aug. 1 Weekend listing gave an incorrect closing date for "Jerry Springer: The Opera." The Studio Theatre show ends Aug. 17.
