MBH Technical Associates, the consulting firm founded by Gregory Minor, Richard Hubbard and Dale Bridenbaugh, served as technical consultants for the movie. They did a very credible job; the set included an almost perfect replica of a nuclear power plant control room, the turbine and auxiliary building scenes were frighteningly accurate, and the operators used realistic terminology.
At this point, the questions that come to mind are: Did life imitate art? Did someone decide that the best way to predict the future is to invent it. Did a disgruntled employee watch the movie and recognize an opportunity to get his concerns noticed? Did a New Jersey mobster decide to issue a warning about moving a plant out of his influence area?
So China Syndrome film had a technically savvy consultant on the film that knew the TMI plant very well. Coincidence or no?
He talks more about the film in part 2. Go about 2/3 way down the page.
It is a long read, I only lasted thru part 1, but I shall revisit, and check out this section, as well. Thanks for the info.
