JJ,
i found this part of the article a gross inaccuracy...

The TMI facility was the site of a serious nuclear accident in 1979. A malfunction in a water system used for steam generators caused a meltdown within a reactor core, setting off the release of radioactive gas. However, despite a national frenzy of fear and speculation, there were no injuries due to radiation exposure.

the following presents a pretty complete picture of the problem and how it was reported. deaths from three mile island nuclear fallout continue to occur. the infant mortality rate jumped after the incident...the article gives precise numbers.

the important thing for everyone to know is that in the event you are near a fallout zone, KI, Potassium Iodide, can be used to protect pregnant women and small children. your doctor can provide dose info.

and of course my book and fallout zone calculator will enable you to make your own judgement about whether to flee and which direction to go.
