The technology back then was the state of the art. I'm unsure how contract employees without long term health coverage or job security would do a better job building or operating a nuclear facility. Good luck with the full time graphic designer thing, and congratulations on graduating from high school. Chris, thanks very much for posting the reference to Dr. Sternglass' work. Thanks for reading Sprol! CitizenGrim, you are mistaken. The technology back then was the state of the art.

The technology back then was primitive and employing unskilled unionized workers - recipe for disaster. All the old policies have been changed, to the point where nuclear power is the safest source of energy (in terms of output) in the world today. We will be aiming our country for ruin if we listen to the paranoid ravings of the junk science environmentalists every time any new technology hits a snag.

What many people don't know is that the Harrisburg International Airport is only a couple miles from TMI, and the runway points almost directly at it. You can see it above and to the left of TMI in the fourth picture. It's not hard to imagine a plane going off course and crashing into it accidentally or deliberately, which is why my parents, when they moved into the area, drew a ten mile circle around TMI and said "we won't live anywhere in here." Shockingly, that is almost the entire city of Harrisburg. I live in Harrisburg and see TMI twice a day on my way to and from work.
