I was born 4-5 months after 3 mile island, but in Northampton County, so far enough away from the accident.

“I was born 4-5 months after 3 mile island, but in Northampton County, so far enough away from the accident.”
I flew to an interview at a nuclear plant 17 days before TMI.
No one died, it was an exaggerated mishap.
Thornburgh panicked and nuclear power is still paying the price.
And MILLIONS died... Right?
I believe that both TMI and Chernobyl were “tests” gone wrong. Bored operators working at a plant where everything works.
TMI was one of the last nuclear plants to generate electricity cheaper than other sources of energy. The end of the “too cheap to meter” promise of nuclear power. Then, the unions got into the picture.
Don’t forget that more people died in Ted Kennedy’s car than ever died from American Nuclear Power.
OMG!!!!! thanks so much for posting this...been looking for this for ages!!
Essential event to ensure the petrochemical universe would remain the primary source of energy for as long as the propaganda could remain effective. Nuclear power was the biggest threat to all that cash flow.
Exactly. Nuke energy and Nukes are pretty awesome and relatively harmless if you don’t get too close, and wait a few years.
I’ve been to 3 Mile Island.
Interviewed for a job there and was hired but I turned them down. Not because of the accident but because it was snowing and cold as hell the day I interviewed. It was 80° when I left Florida that day..................
I guess you are no on Trump’s email list.
Jimmy did have some experience with reactor design.
“from 3 November 1952 to 1 March 1953, he served on temporary duty with the Naval Reactors Branch, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D.C., to assist “in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels.”
