Three Mile Island (pics!)

[marko138]

We are coming up on the 30th Anniversary of the 'accident' on Three Mile Island. For those who dont know...Unit 2 reactor core partially melted down and released radioactive material into the atmosphere.

Anyway...on Wednesday I went to TMI for work. The press people there wanted to tout how safe the plant was 30 years later.

Interestingly...my station didn't go right away when the accident happened. We didnt think it was a big deal at the time...and the crew even stopped at McDonalds on the way there. Hindsight, right?

Pics of TMI.

Unit 1...still fully functional.


Looking at the plant:


Unit 1 cooling towers, you can see the shut down Unit 2 towers in the background:


The media walking toward the plant:


Me on the island...with batman and Buell.
