25th Anniversary Of Three Mile Island
fbform writes "March 28, 2004 is the 25th anniversary of the Loss Of Coolant Accident (LOCA) at the nuclear power plant on Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania. It's a good time to reflect on the impact it has had on our nuclear safety policy and interface design in general."
Don't know about you, but the Mahavishnu Orchestra surges more energy in me than any power source could!
"Oh little isle, of 3 Mile. How still you make us die.
Above the town of Middletown, the glowing clouds scud by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting glow.
We'll all mutate, and radiate. And then we'll die, you know"
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Interesting - Austrailia must not have HOAs (Home Owners Associations) similar to those in the U.S.? My HOA policy is fairly forgiving on that piece: I can use a clothesline but it has to be a 'temporary' one that is taken down after it's use. Maybe I'll run a long extension cord from our laundry on the second floor of our house and put my dryer in the yard. Nothing in the HOA rules state running appliances can't be used in the yard! That way I can dry my clothes outside in the sunshine and still thumb my nose at the Kyoto Protocol. American Green ;-)
The Luddites were ahead of their time.
How DARE you suggest that we pollute the pristine magma of the earths core with your unnatural nuclear waste. It would be a crime against nature to bury radioactve material under the earths crust.
People like you make me sick.
All Troll + "offtopic" mods are meta moderated as "Unfair", because you abused the system.
From 3F05:
Burns: Homer, your bravery and quick thinking have turned a potential Chernobyl into a mere Three Mile Island. Bravo!
Reminds me of a quote by Terry Pratchett:
I once absend-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce.
in twenty five years since, no one has been able to prove that they were adversly affected by the accident, healthwise.
Slogan: Nuclear power, possibly safer than smoking.
was when Jimmy Carter went there to say that nothing was wrong and then came out ten feet tall and glowing. That was classic.
-- It only takes 20 minutes for a liberal to become a conservative thanks to our new outpatient surgical procedure!
How long will it be before we get a photo album of the area around Three Mile Island put together by some gum-chewing Jersey girl riding around on a moped? Somehow it just won't be the same...
subduction zone disposal - return it to the earth's core, which is used to it. Does anybody know why this disappeared off the map?
Because the best subduction zone on the planet is the Marianas Trench off the east coast of Japan. And we all know why dumping radioactive material off the coast of Japan is bad.
