Nuclear power is 10000 times safer and better for the environment than coal, gas and oil. 3MI never even had a chance to go critical, Even with the 5 different 1 in a million things that happened that day. Nuclear waste is a solid with 0 chance of leaking, Unlike all the stupid movies that show it as a green slim in barrels that always leak. It has no burn off that goes into the atmosphere, And your lungs like coal does. The President, Media, Coal and Oil industry were in on making it look like a huge risk, It's all about money. Watch Kyle Hills video on this incident.

I was born in Reading, PA in June of 1979. As you might imagine, there was a lot of controversy about TMI and pregnancies in PA that year. The truth is, there really wasn't much in the way of dangerous material released, and the handling of the incident by the local and state government made it seem far worse than it was. My husband, born a couple of years later, grew up in Harrisburg. It was well known that non-nuclear sources of pollution were far more concerning than anything to do with TMI from not long after the event. We still look for the cooling towers every time we are on the highway in Harrisburg.

There is an interesting video on a channel called “Our Own Devices” that looks at the CANDU reactor. It’s known worldwide as the safest commercial nuclear reactor. Apparently in simulators it’s almost impossible to have the same type of accident because fail safes kick in ahead of time. Side note Jummy Carter helped with a clean up after a nuclear accident at Chalk River Ontario (where medical isotopes were made). He was exposed to radiation and was told he has an increased risk of dying early - clearly he beat those odds

In an attempt to counter her efforts, Edward Teller, a nuclear physicist and long-time government science adviser best known for contributing to the Teller--Ulam design breakthrough that made hydrogen bombs possible, personally lobbied in favor of nuclear power. Teller suffered a heart attack shortly after the incident and joked that he was the only person whose health was affected.

While it is true that nuclear power production does not pollute the atmosphere like fossil fuels and operating reactors are generally safe, we still have the issue of how to dispose of used nuclear fuel rods will remain dangerously radioactive for 10-20,000 years maybe longer; almost every single nuclear power plant has what are called "cooling pools" that store the used fuel rods that have been removed from the reactor during the course of its operating lifetime, and there is no really effective plan for safely disposing of them in a manner that will prevent them from being a hazard for millennia to come.

I agree, Eric. Kyle Hill absolutely rocks! I was pro nuclear power before he got into explaining it all that much. Now, after seeing his explanations of how reactors and radiation really work, studying the safety and containment systems and even running simulations in all different scenarios, I'm even more for nuclear power. It's dense in power, has safety systems on top of safety systems, fail safes on top of those, built in buildings so durable they could take a missile directly at them and not even have a leak, have operators who's job it is to literally train and study every day, even studying for one of their tests that they take every year, I'm pretty confident in the benefits of nuclear power. You can literally swim in a reactor pool while it's running with no radiation danger to yourself. They don't even emir pollution when running, just ordinary steam. We've got a serious greenhouse gas problem and going nuclear instead of coal or natural gas would be a huge help to us in mitigating effect excessive green house gasses pose to the world climate. If done properly, which can and has been repeatedly done, nuclear power is possibly the safest, most dense, most reliable, least impactful form of clean energy there is, even being safer and less polluting than even solar and wind. It's a great idea. We can do it properly. We should do it properly.

Yes, the movie China Syndrome came to our theatres a couple weeks before the accident. Many of us Harrisburg watched the movie just before or during the actual accident. They successfully got the plant shut down with little time to spare before the China Syndrome occurred at the Three Mile Island plant. President Jimmy Carter came to Harrisburg to check out the situation for himself. I did get to meet him. I learned he had been assigned to and worked on a nuclear submarine during his service in the navy. Alot of people scorned and mocked him by valling him dome dumb hick who was a peanut farmer. Let me tell you, Carter was a very smart and knowledgeable. He reached an officers level. I believe he was above the level of Captain. I have nothing but respect for the man.

Because Kyle Hill was recommended, I'd highly recommend his video, "The Fukushima Disaster - Epidemic of Ghosts". In it, he explains how despite using modern reactors with modern fail safes, with international, national, local, and citizen oversight: all of which warned of this impending disaster; still resulted in corporate and regulatory negligence. This negligence, according to Kyle Hill, caused a disaster that we do not have the means to properly clean up. In fact, he states, we are hoping to have the necessary technology available within the next 60 YEARS. But don't forget, disasters can't happen with modern reactors and their fail safes, regulatory bodies are strict and powerful, and power companies don't put profits above safety... That was sarcasm if you didn't catch it. Solve the issues with clean up(remember Kyle says this tech does not exist) and waste(vitrification plants with their acetonitrile venting issues are not a solution, see Hanford), eliminate greed and incompetence as factors in potential disasters, enact laws and regulations with fully funded and staffed agencies to enforce with stiff penalties and I'd be open to the conversation.

Carter would know a little bit about nuclear disasters, when he was a lieutenant in the US Navy he helped stop one of the first nuclear disasters. Back in 1952 he was called in to stop a disaster at Chalk River National Laboratories in Ontario Canada. They had him and the rest of his team go in one at a time for no more than like 90 seconds and turn a wrench to shut down the reactor. They told him afterwards he may not be able have kids, and he may not live as long, he has since had 4 kids and is at 99 years old the oldest and longest lived president. Did I learn about that on a Geograpics video? I know I saw it on YT and Simon was hosting. Anyway throwback to that video if it was.

Important to highlight the creation of INPO and how it lead to a safer US Nuclear Industry. Before plants never shared Operation Experience (OE) with each other and any problems or events found were kept internally. Now all nuclear plants are individually evaluated by INPO and everyone in the nuclear industry can find and be notified of important OE or safety events to learn from and prevent accidents. Another B&W reactor had an accident sequence similar to TMI just weeks before the accident. They managed to avert it with the actions the operators took. Had the TMI plant had INPO and the knowledge from it the accident may never have happened.

Man, would have been great if the author had gotten you as a source on this (hindsight, I know). How accurate would you say the script author was in describing the incident?

Hi, I work behind the scenes. I'm Eric Malikyte. I edit most of the videos across all three channels. Karl will still be hosting the channels for the most part, but when he needs a break I'll be popping in from time to time.

Point to CANDU. Don't think any of those reactors have even come close to the levels of catastrophy of these ones.

Great video and I fully agree that people should watch Kyle Hill as he went to the Ukraine, Japan and a functional nuclear power plant. After his videos I am in favor of nuclear power as it is safe and unlike other forms of power they can account for all their waste.

......if only to feed the algorithm..... May I generalize and note that (my perception and label) the "Whistler Web" type of folks are spot on. I admire the adroit minds that craft the verbiage and tenor of a subject and the massive supporting staff that screams the pixel show.... Anyhoot, "A" comment.

Not gonna lie, the monotone is putting me to sleep. Perhaps giving it more emotion? Otherwise a very soothing voice, and a good choice for hosting.
