I was on a photography shoot a few years after the Three Mile Island accident. Our location was just outside the reactor building at TMI. We were working for the company that took the thousands of gallons of low radioactive waste water from TMI that had to be cleaned up so it could be dumped into the river. The whole time we were there the guy from the plant was complaining how after the accident the regulators were all over them and "they couldn't do anything". Meanwhile, I had to go through a whole body background radiation screen and I'm wearing one of those badges that measures how much radiation you are exposed to. The walk through the plant was pretty interesting, there were places that were blocked off with yellow Caution Radioactive Hazard tape. I'm there wondering if I should be there at all, since I was a 23 year old woman who was planning on having children. Alas, my badge came back weeks later with an official notice that told me I wasn't exposed while I was there.
