Don't get me wrong, I am for it, but isn't what they said about the TMI design as I look at it out my window. Two stacks steaming, two stacks dead forever.

Typically safe design until the NRC comes in and screws everything up with absurd regulation about tagging valves.

Same basic technology, different design. As I recall TMI is a Babcox and Wilcox design PWR. Too small a pressurizer compounded by significant operator errors killed TMI.

Then again the 70's gave us the Pinto, somebody thought that was a good idea as well. Don't get me started on shag carpet.

What side of the River? I live just about 1/3 mile above the turnpike Hbg east exit?

And clearly, the last resort safety feature (the containment) worked. Otherwise you wouldn't be looking out your window at the plant.
More people died at Chappaquiddick than at TMI.
