I was there. They evacuated my college. People were afraid to go past Harrisburg so I went with a friend to his home in old Virginia. Later we came back and I got an “I survived Three Mile Island” t shirt.
The truly astounding thing about nuclear power, aside from the fact that human beings figured this out, is that 30 years on nobody’s figured out what to do with the deadly byproducts of the process. Either nobody was really trying or it’s an insoluble problem.
This concludes this test….had this been an actual emergency, you would have been able to read the
nasty , degenerate , foul words that threaten to demoralize and ruin the very fabric of our society
it’s just a word. people shouldn’t get their knickers in a twist over it. besides, if you were in a nuclear facility that looked about to melt down, it’s probably exactly the word you’d use.
Just so it’s clear. The reactor accident at Three Mile Island was caused by the plant operators who incorrectly thought that their instruments were malfunctioning. The plant was performing as designed, and shutting down when the operators overrode the installed safety systems and caused the accident which although severe, was never near the severity of the incident at Chernobyl. In general, nearly all the people in the area received less extra radiation from the resulting release than they would have received from having two normal chest x-rays. Sensationalism sells papers and ad space on the nightly news though, so this incident was played out as if it were truly a “China Syndrome” type accident.

Hm….yes, that would be a good course of action. Why are there people running, and fishing near the site?

This “comic” should never have appeared on your site. The language belongs in a brothel, not here. Shame on you.

More people died at Chappaquiddick than died at Three Mile Island. And that’s the forking truth.
