This is Three Mile Island BEFORE the accident.

Three Mile Island was a Nuclear Power Plant near Harrison, Pennsylvania It happened on March 28, 1979 This was the 31 st anniversary It was one of the most serious commercial Nuclear power plant meltdowns in the USA But it didn’t cause any deaths or injuries.

The accident began about 4:00 a.m. The plant experienced a failure in the secondary, non-nuclear section of the plant. And then the main feed water pumps shut down That made a lot of build up in the system It was basically machine malfunction that caused the meltdown

On paper, yes it seems to be the safest form of energy People seem to think that these machines and everything wont blow or something mechanical will ever go wrong Which it is a slim chance something would happen. But not impossible

On paper, it seems as if it is the best way to make energy Not taking into consideration the likely hood of something as a meltdown happening It’s a very green way to get energy Because it doesn’t omit any toxic chemicals or CO2 into the air And they keep all of the uranium they use in special containers underwater.

Hmmm….
