On March 28, 1979, I was heading to class. I was a student at Franklin & Marshall College, less than 30 miles from the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant. Early that morning, a malfunctioning pump, a stuck valve and a series of operator errors led to a core meltdown and the worst accident in the history of the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry.
Our hearts go out to the people of Japan who are struggling to recover from the twin blows of an earthquake and tsunami on March 11. The disaster around the failure of the Fukushima nuclear facility continues to unfold. The recovery effort will continue for decades.
