BTW, Three Mile Island was a lot worse than people
realized at the time. It was several years before
radiation levels cooled to a level where inspectors could go in and take a
look. What they saw amazed them....about 50% of the core had actually
melted,
new estimates are that the plant was 30 minutes away from a total meltdown,
which was avoided by sheer luck.
Nobody in the plant actually knew what was going on at the time.

Anyway, you were saying how wonderful nuclear power is.....

You keep it away from where people live! Nuclear rockets can be launched from
remote locations.
