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?
Yes I remember the accident. I heared about it on the radio and I was most affraid of the radiation getting me. Even though i didn't know what that was back then it didn't sound good.

What did you think of the responses of the government, the industry and the press to the accident?
I think now that they blew it out of proportion
|
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?
I din't live close to TMI
|
Do you have any further thoughts or reflections about Three Mile Island?
I think that it could have been prevented because the inspectors who inspected it before should have done a better job. I have also read that a controll officail was leaning over a computer screen that told that the valve was open and that radiaition was leaking out of the plant. So I just think that the inciddent could have been prevented.
