That was continuous NRC Commission Briefing on the accident at Three Mile Island. Meeting like this one caused many planned units and construction engineers to join Utilities. I remember it…….

Three Mile Island in PA.
Remember it well. There was continuous NRC Commission Briefing (as long as there were at least 3 Commissioners present) on the accident at Three Mile Island. Meeting like this one caused many planned units to be cancelled, and construction engineers to join Utilities.
