Reply to comment by Saltine_Machine in The 3 Mile Island nuclear power station near Harrisburg, PA, suffers a partial meltdown in 1979, due to coolant leakage. Though there were no casualties, the accident gave way to more stringent safety standards, and also a slowdown in construction of reactors. by LoneWolfInCyberia

Three Myths of the Three Mile Island Accident http://large.stanford.edu/publications/coal/references/nirs/docs/tmipowerpoint.pdf

Pretty much sums it up without listing each individual source. Either way, look up John Daniel's reports.

Do you really trust a US oversight commission that is stock full of people who worked for nuclear companies. It's no different than our bank oversight committees we have today. Finally, don't you find in the slightest the constant back and forth on reports that constantly discredit the information provided by the company. Just something to think about.

The NRC's response to Fukushima, despite the power companies wishes, seems to make them decently reliable in my eyes.

Although it is a pretty crazy coincidence that Nuclesr Power Companies and the Nuclear Regulatory Comission both hire experts in Nuclear energy.
