The Rules

I know certain sentiments are coming, so I'll put this here: Three Mile Island wasn't the unmitigated disaster that fearmongers would have you believe. It was an ultimately harmless accident that was highly publicized because of poor communication and irresponsible sensationalist journalism.

It was actually a success story. It failed safe, as designed.

Unfortunately "The China Syndrome" really pumped up anti-nuclesr sentiment.

TMI was the opposite of Chernobyl.

Heh, you see my posts? That movie came out not 2-weeks ahead of 3-Mile. Freaky isn't it?
