Take Note: TMI 25 Years Later

Take Note: TMI 25 Years Later

The worst nuclear power plant disaster in U.S. history happened at Three Mile Island in Middletown, Pennsylvania.  For an unsettling week in March of 1979, this dramatic accident held the world's attention as engineers struggled to bring the damaged reactor to a safe condition. Why did this accident happen?  How did it impact the nuclear industry?  Anthony Barratta, Ph.D., was one of the nuclear engineers who worked on the decontamination and recovery project at TMI. He is now professor emeritus of nuclear engineering at Penn State and serves as an administrative law judge with the Atomic and Safety Licensing Board. He is co-author of TMI 25 Years Later: The Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant Accident and its Impact published by Penn State Press.  www.psupress.org
