Three Mile Island
Note: all information given will be posted on a public response page unless otherwise noted.
The accident at Three Mile Island, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on March 28, 1979, was the most severe accident at a nuclear power plant in United States history. The ECHO project has developed this online survey, which invites people to share their thoughts about the TMI crisis in 1979. We aim to collect entries from a broad range of people, ranging from residents who lived near the plant and were directly affected by the incident to people who lived in a different part of the country and followed the events through the media. Our aim is to build a free and public archive that will serve as a resource for activists and scholars alike.
What do you remember about the accident at Three Mile Island? How did you hear about what happened at the plant? What was your reaction?
If you were a resident living close-by the plant, please describe your experiences. If you had preschool children or were pregnant at the time, did you follow the evacuation advisory? Did you flee the area?
What did you think of the responses of the government, the industry and the press to the accident?
What are your reflections about the Three Mile Island accident more than two decades later? If you live or lived in the area, what longterm effects did TMI have on your family and community? Did the accident affect your opinion about nuclear power and other technologies?
Do you have any further thoughts or reflections about Three Mile Island?
In addition to saving your story to the archive, may we post it to the web? (yes/no)
