The voice sounds like Jimmy from South Park. Haha.

chernobyl was in 1986 and three mile islan was in 1979 so how could it be a second chernobyl

[33rdPatriot]

Three Mile Island happened 12 days after the multi-million dollar blockbuster CHINA SYNDROME was released. Then POOF. Result: Nuclear power was sullied and soiled, while devil-we-know oil kept hold and entrenched big oil interests benefitted. Cheney and Rumsfeld were in the White House and had been at power for years. 30 years later, Obama licenses first two new nuclear power plants in 30 years, followed 6 months later by BP GULF OIL disaster. When will you wake up?

horrible narration

stupid goofy bullshit

don't give up your day job

[Doggieman1111]

some people just shouldn't narrate

[ethanswish123]

you don't know anything

[jimhigginson2000]

none of you guys know anything about this, you guys all have bits and pieces,some are true and the other half are far fetched,bottom line three mile island was not that bad we contained it, i would hate to live anywhere within 700 acres of Chernobyl . 8 million ppl are still exposed to 3-1300 msv a day in their food, on top of ingesting it daily they inhale about 5-700 msv a day, now, for every 500 msv or 5 sv your risk of getting fatal cancer goes...

Ok...I've been in Iraq for the past year now, just got home a month ago. I don't exactly know who posted that comment, I'm guessing my little brother. Calm yourself down, you don't have to get all pissy over the internet because of ignorance

[UKRentor1605]

So basically, you don't live anywhere near there, know absolutely nothing about Three Mile Island and in general, you are just a dip-shit. Cancer rates have gone up everywhere, mainly due to diagnosis, and the area around TMI-2 has been under close scrutiny, and guess what? The cancer rate is no higher there than it is anywhere else in the country.

Just a little fact for you

[namnayr]

The water pumps didn't mysteriously stop working. Given conflicting readings caused by a plumbing failure, which caused a small pressure relief valve on TMI's core to open, and fail to close when pressure returned to safe levels, which allowed cooling water to escape from the reactor, and it overheated as a result, management directed the operators to turn off the emergency water pumps, thinking it would save the reactor. The partial meltdown wouldn't have happened had they not shut them off.

[PlanckLimit]

Great false scare factor, starting with a mushroom cloud which could never be produced by any foreseeable nuclear power plant accident. Its comparisons like those which have stalled US development of nuclear fission plants for decades.
