Jeanette, thank you so much for sharing about Three Mile Island. Although I had heard
the name of the event before but never really did anything about it. It was interesting to
learn that it was caused by the simple act of a valve getting stuck. Honestly thinking
about it if you know you are working with radioactive material wouldn’t you create some
sort of safeguard for this sort of thing? Especially when it has the potential to be fatal
to not only those in the facility but if the core did combust those in the surrounding area.
It is very lucky that no one died with this incident though it could have ended a lot
differently.
