Radsafers,
I had the opportunity to talk with a fellow Santa Fean and help alleviate
his concerns about living so close to Los Alamos. For the most part, I
think I was successful at developing a report with him.
During the discussion he wanted to ask about the "leak from Three Mile
Island". I explained that TMI did not have a leak or release. He felt he
was confusing TMI with a place in upstate New York. He seemed to recall a
place that experienced some sort of radioactive leak, some time ago, which
led to many people leaving home. After some reclamation work, people are
now moving back. He did not know if this was a nuclear power plant, or
what. Obviously, since I don't have a clue what he's talking about, I could
not talk intelligently about it. Can anyone tell me what he is talking
about, or has he been reading Mother Jones too much?
Thanks
