It's an anniversary date, but at 36 years it's not one that normally requires the amount of reflection 20, 40 or 50 years after the fact would necessitate.

No one.
No public property was destroyed or rendered unusable.
None.
Repeated studies have shown no long-term health effects of the TMI incident whatsoever.
Not a one.
TMI wasn't even a disaster, let alone the cataclysm the bunny-huggers would have you believe it was.
So it was sabotage? How did no one ever get charged?
Apparently they never found out who did it.
The media beinng 100% anti nuke didn’t help.
I busted a gut when they actually had Rodney Dangerfield come out to explain just how big the President was..
“I tell, he’s a big guy! Real big. He could make love to the Lincoln Tunnel. I tell ya he’s so big (pulls necktie).”
I remember that I think you could find that episode on Amazon or Hulu or one of streaming network
I still have hope for low cost (comparatively) pebble bed reactors.
