Oh, I don’t wonder. Three Mile Island scared the crap out of Carter. We nearly had a Fukushima situation. Hydrogen venting did occur and luckily the plant had power to run coolant pumps. I was just out of High school at the time and my neighbor ran an experiment exposing photo film to rain water. The exposed film showed fogging from radiation all the way here in VT.
While “possible” danger vis-a-vis Three Mile Island, the actual danger was vastly overbloom, while the press did it’s job in convincing you that officials wrongly minimized the danger.
So, since your class experiment, how many of you have had arly deaths from cancers from the background radiation that fogged the film? I see you are still here.
Have you see the healthy life - flora and fauna - that now flourishes around Chernobyl?
Do you know when, where and how the “official” rate of “lethal” dosage of radiation was determined, and how very suspect it is, scientifically?
